KEY FEATURES
A contemporary countryside home
If you’re searching for a home which combines all the very best aspects of village life in one stylish package, this four-bedroom detached house in Horsford could be the perfect property for you.
Let’s start with the location. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac of only four executive properties, this 2015-built home is perfectly situated on the edge of the popular village of Horsford – within easy walking distance of the plentiful amenities on offer yet with the countryside literally on your doorstep, with rural walks along a network of bridleways and public footpaths which surround the village, and meadowland at the bottom of the garden – currently home to a flock of sheep and their lambs.
The owners purchased the property off-plan, and made some subtle yet significant improvements to the already high levels of specification which enhance the property no end, making life here that much easier and displaying a keen eye for detail which is evident in the countless small touches inside and outside the home.
And from the moment you approach the property, you begin to appreciate these details. The neatly manicured front lawn is bisected by a porcelain paved pathway which perfectly complements the low-maintenance chipped slate borders. A tandem driveway extends along the side of the property to the garage, which was extended when the property was built to provide workshop space at the rear – ideal for car or bike enthusiasts who need somewhere to store and work on their pride and joy. There’s also plenty of eaves storage, and exterior power sockets hidden out of sight but still accessible from the landscaped rear garden.
Inside the property, the welcoming entrance hall is a bright and airy reception space, with plenty of natural light thanks to oak and glass doors to the ground floor rooms, and a galleried first floor landing accessed via a winding staircase with oak balustrades. There’s a generous cloaks storage cupboard as you enter the property, and the ground floor also benefits from underfloor heating, which keeps temperatures constant and opens up real flexibility when you’re styling of each of the bright and spacious rooms.
All the principal ground floor rooms are accessed from this entrance hall, with a dining room to the front of the property (we love the box bay window in here), an essential ground floor study, cloakroom, living room and the kitchen/breakfast room each finished to a very high standard.
The kitchen is a sophisticated space with a Rangemaster oven as the focal point of the room, which coordinates perfectly with the black granite worktops and contrasting high-gloss white units concealing a range of integrated appliances, with the same high levels of equipment and finish maintained in the adjoining utility room.
At the other side of the property, the living room offers relaxation and comfort with a wood burner in the feature fireplace and French doors leading through to a delightful garden room – usable all year round with an insulated ceiling, Velux windows and French doors out to the rear garden, which faces south-west and benefits from two large sandstone patios, perfect for enjoying the sunsets over the meadow beyond.
On the first floor, the four bedrooms radiate from a spacious galleried landing, with one single bedroom to the front of the property and three double bedrooms offering plenty of accommodation for family or guests. The bathroom is well-equipped with a bath and separate shower cubicle, and the master suite to the rear of the property has a generous en-suite shower room which is finished to a high standard.
In fact, the whole of this property has been finished with exceptional attention to detail, making it, in our opinion, one of the best four-bedroom homes currently available in this part of Norfolk.
The winning combination of high-quality design and secluded location mean that this home is sure to be popular, and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this exceptional home.
