4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Property

Located in the heart of the pretty village of Lower Southrepps, Bankside is a charming brick and flint four bedroom cottage with a stunning, recently renovated kitchen. The property has an abundance of character features, such as exposed beams and a cosy woodburning stove.

The main village of Southrepps has a village shop and The Vernon Arms, which is an excellent pub and are both within walking distance from the property. At the opposite end of the village is the renowned Suffield Arms, an extraordinary 19th century Art pub, serving Mediterranean food and tapas with a glorious beer garden. Gunton Train Station is directly opposite, with access to Norwich and beyond and the local primary school is only a short walk away. The wonderful North Norfolk coast is also just at your doorstep, with Cromer, Trimingham and Overstrand beach just a few miles away.

The accommodation at Bankside briefly comprises a fabulous open-plan kitchen & breakfast room, a sitting room, downstairs loo, four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The front porch door leads into the entrance hall, off which is the recently renovated open-plan kitchen & breakfast room with French doors leading out to the garden. The kitchen is shaker style and benefits from wooden worktops, a butler sink, Rangemaster oven, integrated dishwasher and space for a full-height fridge & freezer. The room is wonderfully light with triple aspect windows. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and also a sofa, if you wish.

There is a downstairs loo off the main hallway and a separate room, which currently houses the utilities.

Also off the main hall is the pretty sitting room, featuring exposed beams and a brick fireplace surround, woodburning stove and windows to the side and rear with French doors leading out to its own private patio area under an attractive wooden pergola. Adjoining the sitting room through an arch is a useful space, used as a study by the current owners.

The staircase leading upstairs is flooded with light from the windows to the side and front of the house. Off the central landing are the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom features dual aspect windows with lovely views and an en-suite with shower and wash hand basin. Bedrooms two and three are of good proportion with space for a double bed and windows to the front aspect. The fourth bedroom in the eaves is full of character, with a side aspect window and would be perfect as a nursery or children's bedroom. The family bathroom has a window to the side aspect, bath with a shower over, a hand wash basin and loo.

Outside

The garden wraps around the property with a paved and gravel path at the front, with side access through a gate to the enclosed garden at the side and rear, which is laid to patio off the kitchen and sitting room and lawn at the rear. The secluded garden provides plenty of space for al fresco dining during the warmer months and the pergola outside the sitting room is a fabulous addition. A brick and flint wall runs along the side and front of the property with a variety of mature shrubs and plants in the borders. In the far corner is a shed with a trellis in front. To the side of the property, there are two parking spaces available in front of the garage on the gravelled driveway.
