It now offers a great deal of space with wonderfully bright rooms, ideal for family life, entertaining or working from home. Balancing countryside with convenience, village life with a rural feel, don’t miss the chance to make it your own! Attractive And Impressive When the owners of this lovely home first came to view, they were first impressed by the double reception with two fireplaces to the front of the house – and when they came into the kitchen, they knew for sure this was the place for them. A modern addition to the property, it has the light and airy feel of an orangery, with plenty of glazing and sunshine pouring into the dining area, but it’s also more substantial and nice and cosy in winter. A cleverly placed roof light ensures the kitchen area also gets plenty of natural light. You can sit at the table and enjoy the outlook over the garden one way or look right back through to the front of the house in the other, giving the period home a comfortable flow and wonderfully open feel. Easy Living Another benefit of the accommodation here is that while one side of the house has a lovely open nature, ideal for social occasions or family life, there’s an additional sitting room, and a large one at that, on the other side of the house. You can tuck yourself away in here, reading in peace, or work from home away from the rest of the house, as one of the owners has been doing in recent months: “I enjoy working by the French doors, catching glimpses of the garden while I work. In summer I’ve had the doors open and it’s great being in the fresh air,” she says. There are doors both from here and from the dining area, leading onto a sheltered terrace that acts as an additional room in the warmer months. Again, the owners have found this perfect when entertaining. “The house works very well – the layout lends itself to social gatherings, working from home or to spreading out and having the space to do your own thing. We’ve found it a very easy house to live in.” Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles, with the master enjoying a particularly luxurious feel, thanks to the en-suite and useful walk-in wardrobe. All On The Doorstep Outside, the owners have done a lot to the garden, taking back tall trees and hedging to allow plenty of light in, whilst adding additional shrubs for colour and interest. There are two lovely mature fruit trees – an apple and a pear, the former very productive – formerly part of a market garden on the site. It certainly feels very rural and green here as there are open fields around and footpaths nearby. Yet you’re still within the village boundary, just a short walk from shops, takeaways, a school, surgery, library and more. A ten-minute stroll will take you to the station, from where it’s just another ten minutes into the centre of Norwich. “We love the location. It’s so well placed for main roads, the city, or to get out into the country or to the coast. Brundall is so well served and has pretty much everything you need day to day, but it’s still very quiet and green around here.” The Accommodation The ground floor accommodation consists of… Two/Three Receptions These include a family room, which enjoys an open plan nature with the dining room and a separate sitting room. The sitting room benefits from an extension and includes French doors affording access to the rear terrace which receives sunshine for the majority of the day. The family room also includes a wonderful wood burning stove, whilst the dining room has a feature fireplace. Found to the rear of the home, French doors afford access into the… Breakfast Kitchen/Conservatory Also forming part of a newer extension to the home, this superb space is bathed in natural light due to its generous use of glass, in the form of windows and roof above. Kitchen cabinets can be found to four aspects contrasting beautifully with the timber work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge and freezer, a dishwasher and a freestanding range with extractor fan above. There is also a ceramic sink unit. French doors lead off the breakfast room to the rear terrace, with a further door offering access into the combined ground floor WC and utility area. You move up the stairs to the first floor, where to your left is the impressive… Master Bedroom Suite The room benefits from large west facing windows, whilst twin doors afford access into a large walk-in wardrobe as well as a separate en-suite shower room. Two Bedrooms These remaining double bedrooms, are serviced by the main bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from large windows, which provide plenty of natural light, whilst the second largest of the bedrooms also benefits from a built in wardrobe. Main Bathroom Complete with a hand held shower attachment. The Grounds Situated on a quiet avenue, the property is approached via a shingle drive, which leads directly to an oversized single garage and additional off street parking available for several vehicles. The property is screened from the road by a raised garden bed with semi mature shrubs and trees. Access to the rear of the property is via a gate, which connects to the house and the garage. A shingle path guides you to the generous rear garden, which is laid mainly to lawn but does include a large south facing terrace as well as a wildlife pond. There is also a selection of mature trees including apple and silver birch. To the rear of the garage is a versatile separate room, which could be used as an external office, games room or a gym. The rear gardens boundaries consist of close bordered fencing which afford privacy from the neighbouring properties. In all, the gardens extend to approximately 0.2 of an acre.
