5 bedroom detached house for sale

Guide Price £750,000 to £775,000

Set in the picturesque Norfolk village of Wicklewood, just moments from the historic market town of Wymondham, this extraordinary five-bedroom Victorian cottage has been thoughtfully reimagined for 21st-century living. Originally constructed in the mid-to-late 1800s, the house has recently undergone an ambitious transformation, anchored by a breathtaking architectural extension featuring a dramatic glass gable end - a bold yet harmonious counterpoint to the traditional brick-built elevations of the original dwelling.

Upon entry, you are met with a spacious hallway, with tiled flooring that extends through to a contemporary, open-plan kitchen and family room. Flooded with natural light, the space exudes quality - a sociable hub that truly feels like the heart of the home. A striking bespoke kitchen with clean lines, integrated appliances, and a contrasting colour palette is sure to impress. A separate utility room and a downstairs shower room make it perfect for practical family living - and messy pets.

Stepping off the kitchen and into the original home, a cosy formal dining room awaits. With exposed beams, herringbone flooring, and a log burner, it creates a warm contrast between old and new. The property also offers an additional reception room, complete with a wood burner - ideal for those winter nights.

Upstairs, the property benefits from five well-proportioned bedrooms with fantastic field views. The family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with a contemporary edge, offering a luxurious and calming, retreat-like feel. Fully tiled in sleek, modern finishes, a freestanding bath takes centre stage, complemented by a separate walk-in shower, modern basin, and WC. Subtle LED lighting enhances the clean lines and ambient feel, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

The principal bedroom is blessed with the glass gable end, providing rolling views of the countryside. A vaulted ceiling, bespoke automatic blinds, and an en-suite that matches the quality of the family bathroom create a tranquil space to unwind.

Stepping outside, the quality continues with a landscaped garden designed for both elegance and outdoor living, featuring manicured lawns, structured topiary, and box hedging. A porcelain patio offers the perfect spot for outdoor furniture and relaxation, while decking with integrated spotlights sets the scene for evening entertaining. A bespoke outdoor kitchen and dining area make al fresco living effortless.

The property also benefits from a large driveway and a triple garage, providing generous parking and storage.
