4 bedroom detached house for sale

Created to provide the perfect space for their own family holidays, this lodge has also played host and been enjoyed time and again by many other families over the 17 years since it was built.

Set within an incredibly private plot, this home is most practically entered via the boot room - where better to kick off muddy boots or sandy sandals after a day's exploring North Norfolk?

The majority of the ground floor is open-plan and very sociable. To one end is the kitchen/dining room with ample space to comfortably seat eight, but has also accommodated double that number for Christmas lunch, The kitchen sink and workspace are both conveniently located to enable you to gaze out of the window and keep an eye on little ones playing in the garden, and on a trampoline, whilst preparing the family meal .

At the other end the room opens out to the full width to provide the seating area. With a log burner in the corner this room transforms into cosy comfort during winter time, but open up both sets of french doors and allow a cool breeze to flow through on balmy summer's days.

In addition to the boot room there is also a single bedroom on the ground floor as well as a separate shower room and WC.

Upstairs are a further three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room with the others share the family bathroom.

Outside the majority of the garden faces due south and - immediately off the living room - a covered patio is perfect for those summer days which can sometimes be a little wet, out here there is plenty of room for all of you to sit under cover and still enjoy a barbecue. To the front there is also ample private parking for at least four cars.

Sentinel Lodge is a house which has created a great many happy memories. Not only a much-loved home-from-home for its owners, but for many other families who return year-after-year. Time and again guests comment on the peacefulness and tranquillity here, as well as the myriad of wildlife in the garden - with pheasants, hares, deer, and owls all making appearances at this countryside. 

THURSFORD A small rural village, Thursford is tucked away between the popuar town of Fakenham and Holt

The village has a church, a public house, garage and Thai restaurant. It's also the home to the famous Thursford Collection of steam engines, old funfair rides and organs. A visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money.

Fakenham is a short drive away and it has a cinema and supermarkets, a busy Thursday street market and a monthly Farmers Market.

For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse.
Just seven miles away, a strong sense of community thrives among the proud residents and local businesses of Holt, and many of the latter champion the local 'Love Holt' initiative, which waves the flag for the independent shops that add vibrancy to the Georgian town centre.

With a traditional butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer, the town even has its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark which has been run by the same family since 1770.

Life moves at a leisurely pace in Holt, and there are plenty of places to idle over a coffee or bite to eat. Believed to be the oldest house in town, Byfords deli and café is a central landmark and fabulous place to stop and watch the world go by.
