This has to be one of the most superb settings you can imagine, with stunning views both to the front and the rear. You feel as though you’re in the countryside, one of a handful of houses along the quiet road, but you’re less than a mile from the village of Caister-on-Sea in one direction and around five minutes from the Norfolk Broads. A Clever Design The property itself is equally impressive. A modern home finished around 2010, it’s been designed to make the most of the setting, with generous use of glazing and an ‘upside down’ layout. “We knew the road very well and when the original house, a 1980s bungalow, came up for sale, we snapped it up. We couldn’t resist the location with these amazing views! We worked closely with an experienced architect to come up with plans for a house that best suited the plot and gave us all the space for our extended family too.” Style And Quality As soon as you enter, you can tell this is something special. The octagonal reception hall sets the tone for the rest of the property – bright and welcoming, filled with light. There are three really generous double bedrooms on the ground floor, two with en-suites, plus a luxurious family bathroom with walk in shower and feature roll top bath. The owners have family in the area and often host everyone here, so it was of great importance to them that they didn’t feel cramped when they had a houseful, but could instead accommodate everyone comfortably. Wooden flooring runs throughout most of the property, with underfloor heating making it lovely and warm underfoot. Wow Factor Upstairs, the first thing you notice is the fabulous vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. It really enhances the sense of space throughout this already substantial property. The owners love nothing more than to relax on the sunny, south-facing terrace in the afternoon, taking in the views and sipping a gin and tonic. When the family come over, the sociable, open plan kitchen really comes into its own, with guests sitting at the breakfast bar while the owners prepare food and drink. There are three separate reception areas on this floor, in addition to the breakfast kitchen, so everyone can spread out and do their own thing, even with a houseful. Beach, Broads And Beauty Outside, the garden has been deliberately designed for easy maintenance and it’s secure for young children playing out too. It’s the views that are the star attraction here and they certainly do shine! You can see for miles – on a clear day the owners can even see the wind turbine at Lowestoft, known to locals as Gulliver. There’s an enormous amount of wildlife around you, from deer in the fields to horses grazing, plus plenty of birdlife. As you might expect, the sunrises and sunsets are magnificent and you can see the best of them when you call this home. While it’s peaceful around here, you don’t have to go far for amenities. From family-friendly resorts such as Great Yarmouth, to the seal colony at Horsey, the delights of the Norfolk coast are just a short drive from your front door. Keen sailors, canoeists, windsurfers, birdwatchers and fishermen will be perfectly placed to indulge their hobbies, with the Broads just a few minutes from home. The owners often head out to explore the area, lunching at one of the many excellent pubs before enjoying a country walk.

The large windows to the rear elevation give a panoramic view to the north over the surrounding area. Underfoot you have a continuation of the timber flooring. The Garden Enjoying a superb elevated location within the village of West Caister, the unique property was re-built in 2010. It was originally a bungalow that was built in the 1980s, which has now been significantly extended and now incorporates a substantial and impressive first floor. The front garden is dominated by its carriage driveway, with a central area of lawn flanked by rock garden beds. On the eastern side of the property you have direct access to a detached double garage, whilst the drive provides parking for several vehicles. The enclosed rear garden is laid to lawn with a selection of eucalyptus trees found to the rear boundary. From the rear garden you have access into the garage as well as the utility room.
