This remarkable family home, set on a two-acre plot (stms), boasts scenic countryside views and is situated within half a mile of the entrance to Wymondham College, making it one of the closest homes to one of Norfolk’s most sought-after schools. The location is exceptional, and the house itself epitomises excellence, offering over 2,500 square feet of internal living space. With luxurious finishes, practicality, and character throughout, the property also benefits from versatile exterior accommodation.
The property is believed to date back to the turn of the 19th century, with several extensions added by previous owners. The current owners have expertly reimagined the layout to maximise space, thoughtfully incorporating key rooms that make the most of the spectacular views over the rear of the property. The thoughtfully landscaped garden, with its far-reaching vistas, provides a serene setting to enjoy the abundance of local wildlife.
Internally, the property is accessed via a spacious entrance hall with engineered oak flooring, which leads to a lounge, study/bedroom five, shower room, large utility room, and the heart of the home - a 30-foot-long, luxurious open plan kitchen/dining/family room. This impressive space features granite work surfaces and a mix of porcelain tiled and engineered oak flooring, a breakfast bar seating area, and a generous additional seating area with panoramic views. French doors to the side and bi-fold doors to the rear open seamlessly onto the south-facing garden, enhancing the connection with the outdoors.
Upstairs, the grand principal bedroom suite offers spectacular views over the garden, three built-in double wardrobes, and a lobby leading to a luxurious en-suite shower room with a large shower cubicle and contemporary tiled splashbacks. The remainder of the first floor features three additional double bedrooms, with bedrooms three and four benefiting from built-in wardrobes. There is also a spacious family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle and bath, along with ample storage cupboards on the landing.
The property is filled with distinctive features, including handmade ledge and brace doors with traditional hand-forged black door furniture, hardwood double-glazed windows and windowsills throughout and an oak staircase, all complemented by modern brushed stainless steel switches and sockets. Underfloor heating extends across the majority of the ground floor, while oil-fired radiator heating ensures comfort elsewhere, with thermostatically controlled zones and TRVs for added convenience. Additionally, a water softener is installed, and the property benefits from being connected to the mains sewerage system.
