The Property
In true Norfolk style our vendors enter the property at the rear via both the utility room and French doors opening to the stunning extension whilst an original front porch leads us into the sitting room. Entering via the French doors at the rear we step into the vast extension where the 'wow factor' of this family home is instantly apparent. At over 34.ft this family kitchen/dining and living space is truly exceptional. Light pours into the room from overhead veluxs, the French doors and five large windows enjoying the various aspects. Solid wooden flooring with underfloor heating lines the room, contrasting against the range of modern yet classic styled kitchen units. Space for a range cooker sits central to the room with an extractor above. The sink is set below one of the windows and our dishwasher is integrated. Space is made for a large fridge freezer whilst an eight seater dining table feels lost in the room. At either end we find space for soft furnishings making this an ideal space for family living and entertaining alike. From here bi-folding doors open to the sitting room further extending the space when needed, yet providing a cosy room with the doors closed. A wood burning stove offers a warming focal point and a door opens to the porch at the front. Internally double doors lead into the former dining room, now a superb office/snug which in-turn leads into the modern utility at the rear. Here we find the laundry appliances, a sink and fitted units. A door opens to the garden. A lobby area leads to the staircase and the ground floor shower room. Finished to the modern standard found throughout, a double width shower, wash basin and w/c are set against attractive, stone effect shower wall. On the first floor the landing opens to all of the rooms. In the original cottage we find two generous bedrooms set to the front and rear. Both offer excellent space whilst the rear boasts a range of concealed cupboards and wardrobes along with an en-suite w/c. At the head of stairs the family bathroom boasts a white suite comprising of a bath, wash basin and w/c. Stepping into the extension we find two further impressive double rooms. Both boast stunning views from the dual aspect each offer. The front room looks along Pirnhow Street whilst the rear enjoys views over the Waveney Valley.
Outside
Approaching the property from Pirnhow Street we pull onto the initial section of the driveway that provides parking before opening the five bar gate that leads to the extensive drive set to the side of the property. The drive leads us to the detached garage whilst at the front, the garden is framed with post and rail fencing. A personal gate opens to the garden where a raised bed brings colour to the space and we enter the property via the porch. At the rear we find the formal garden leading off the drive. A York Stone patio leads from the French doors in the stunning extension, providing a great spot for entertaining and enjoying the southerly aspect. The patio extends to the rear passing the utility room door where we find a timber shed. Artificial turf offers a maintenance free lawn space whilst a pergola creates a shaded seating area draped with a fruit bearing grape vine. A gate opens between two brick garden stores and the workshop passing through a former enclosed kennel area which in-turn opens to the extended garden space at the rear. This generous space is laid to lawn and framed with established hedging.
