This fabulous modern residence offers sublime family living spaces in one of the most sought after locations in the county. Offering immediate access onto the A11 trunk road and yet enjoying a quiet rural setting, Honeymead falls into the catchment area of the two of the region’s most sought after schools. “We are not moving very far, because the schools are so important to us,” confirm the owners, who relish the far reaching farmland views on offer from both the front and rear of their home. As they state, “it’s a wonderful family home, with nice quiet lanes for cycling with the children – and yet Wymondham and Attleborough are so close and we can be in in ten minutes.” With two newly created attic bedrooms proving a massive hit with their sons and 0.61 of an acre of mature gardens to enjoy, this is undoubtedly a superlative family home.

Glorious Sunny Living Space “We really wanted a big open space for family living – and to share with friends,” comment the owners, continuing, “and what’s particularly lovely is that as you walk into the space you can see right through the dining area and all the way down the garden to the summer house!” This really is a brilliant living space, gloriously sunny thanks to the French doors onto the garden and the twin roof lights – and offering a huge amount of space. “There’s more space here than even we imagined, and we designed it!” exclaim the owners, who love the social aspect that the space offers for entertaining. “It is super to be able to cook and chat away to your guests at the same time; it’s an extremely convivial space,” the owners conclude.

KEY FEATURES

Family-tastic As well as creating this wonderful social hub of the home, the owners have also converted the attic space into two very roomy and appealing bedrooms. “Our boys absolutely love having their own area slightly away from the rest of us!” they comment, noting that one of the rooms has its own ensuite shower room. “All six bedrooms have fantastic farmland views and our master bedroom overlooks the rear garden which is nice,” affirm the owners, who love to watch the sun rise and set over the fields. As they enthuse, “the rear garden adjoins open farmland, so there is a terrific feeling of space and of being connected with nature – and the size of the garden means that the boys can run around to their hearts’ content.” And when the weather turns, rendering garden antics less appealing, the family love to retire to their cosy sitting room and sit around the wood burner. “It’s a lovely big room, with windows to the front and French doors which lead into the open plan kitchen/living area, and the fireplace makes an impressive feature,” confirm the owners.

Excellent Location Situated just off the main A11 trunk road and close to the popular market towns of Attleborough and Wymondham, Honeymead is also just a few miles from the centre of Norwich. But notwithstanding such a convenient location, the setting is quiet and relaxed with a real country feel. “It really is a perfect location, because we can get anywhere very easily and quickly and yet we are able to bring our family up in a very peaceful, rural environment,” the owners comment. There are miles and miles of quiet country lanes to explore on foot or bicycle, as the owners and their children do regularly, while there is a gastro pub within easy walking distance, as well as a sought after primary school. “The really important point about this location is that it falls into the catchment area for both Wymondham College and Wymondham High and that was hugely important to us,” the owners note.
