5 bedroom detached house for sale

THE OAKS

This incredible five bedroom family home needs to be seen to be appreciated. Sitting in a small gated community of similar homes, The Oaks can be found just to the edge of the market town of Swaffham.

The ground floor features two reception rooms - a lovely sitting room with a traditional oversized brick fireplace, and a further reception room - which could be a formal dining room, play room, home office or snug. At the heart of the home is the outstanding kitchen, dining, family room with bold navy shaker cabinets, beautiful quartz worktops, induction hob range cooker, wine cooler, large breakfast bar with room for four stools, and an AEG dishwasher. The spacious utility room tastefully matches the kitchen cabinets.

The first floor is equally as compelling as the ground floor. All five bedrooms are doubles, there are two en-suites and a family bathroom. Fitted wardrobes are in abundance providing plenty of storage, with the additional benefit of a fully fitted dressing room to the principal bedroom which is a wonderful touch of additional luxury rarely found at this price point.

The exterior offers absolutely everything you could hope for. A permeable brick driveway immediately strikes the impression of luxurious specification, whilst offering parking for numerous vehicles. There is a double garage with electric door, west facing fully turfed rear garden, and a large Indian sandstone patio. The privacy of the rear will also appeal to those who enjoy outdoor entertaining.

The specification at The Oaks is far beyond the usual expectations of this price point. The new owners will enjoy a full burglar alarm fitted, outstanding insulation, an air source heat pump with the very latest heating and hot water systems, underfloor heating downstairs and the most recent solar PV technology. A 10-year warranty is also included.

SWAFFHAM

An historic and thriving market town, Swaffham is situated approximately 15 miles east of King’s Lynn and approximately 30 miles from Norwich.

There is an extensive range of local amenities including a Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, further shops, pubs and restaurants, three doctors surgeries and primary, secondary and higher schools together with a variety of leisure and sports activities including an excellent golf club.

The town has an extremely popular Saturday market and many interesting historic buildings including the parish church and ‘The Buttercross’.

There’s also a town museum which focuses on many different and impressive parts of local history. One key gallery is The Carter Centenary, a chance to learn about Howard Carter, famous for the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun - whose extended family lived in Swaffham.

The town offers a great hub for those who wish for a perfect family life. It has a series of schools for different ages, along with being relatively close to other schools including Greshams, Langley Hall and Beeston Hall School

It’s also a good base to call home with local activities and entertainment including theatre, open gardens, nature reserves and more.

Swaffham is only around two hours by train to London, with great access to Cambridge and a short journey to Holt, Wells, Brancaster and Burnham Market - as well as the popular little seaside town of Sheringham. Norwich too is quick trip and provides an airport, offering direct flights to Amsterdam.
