5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to bring to market 'The Paddocks'. An individually designed and substantially extended family home, offering flexible accommodation in a beautifully private setting. The property enjoys a semi-rural location on the edge of the small village of Horningtoft, located conveniently between the market towns of Fakenham and Dereham. The original 1930s bungalow, extended over time sits on a private plot of just under 2 acres (stms).

The accommodation extends to over 2000 square foot, with a generous mix of reception spaces and up to five bedrooms, making it ideal for growing families, multi-generational living, or those working from home. The grounds — which include a stable block, paddocks, a cart shed and triple garaging — lend themselves to equestrian use or lifestyle buyers seeking space and seclusion.

ACCOMMODATION

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a welcoming tiled hallway that flows into a long central corridor — connecting both wings of the home and emphasising the sense of space and natural light throughout.

The main reception room is an inviting sitting room featuring an attractive cast-iron wood burner with decorative tiled surround, and French doors that open onto a tranquil garden terrace — perfect for cosy winter evenings or breezy summer entertaining.

A well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views across the courtyard and is fitted with a range of white units and colourful tiled splashbacks. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room alongside the dining room.

The dining room opens into a conservatory to both sides with lovely garden and paddock views, creating an excellent flow for entertaining. A separate, generous bedroom from the dining room with its own entrance and en-suite provides privacy and independence for guest accommodation, the master bedroom or annexe potential.

The main conservatory 13ft x 18'6 ft, a recent addition by the current owner is a fantastic asset looking down the paddocks and leading out to the patio area for entertaining or a quiet place to sit in the summer evenings.

The property includes another ground floor double bedroom and study that was originally a bedroom. Both featuring bay windows with the bedroom including fitted wardrobes. The generously sized family bathroom is also located on this level and includes a bath, separate walk in shower, WC and wash basin.

Upstairs, two charming dormer bedrooms with Velux windows enjoy wonderful countryside views and share a bathroom, making this floor an excellent space for children or guests.
