Home to the owners from new, they were drawn here by the ample space on offer for their growing family and by the opportunity to make a blank canvas into their dream home. All The Room You’re Looking For The kitchen is their favourite room and the place where they spent most of their time, the adults cooking and listening to music or relaxing in front of the television while the children played. “One of the nice things is that we could all be together in the kitchen family area but we also had our own separate reception rooms,” explains the owner. So there’s the option of a playroom where kids can have their games consoles and host friends without disturbing their parents, who have a toy free zone in which to unwind of an evening. “And if you have little ones, the flow of the rooms means it’s easy to keep an eye on them.” The owners have done a lot of entertaining here, throwing many a party, doors open onto the terrace in summer. They’ve had ponies for the children, bouncy castles and so much more – and if the weather doesn’t co-operate, there’s room for everyone to come inside comfortably. Soaking Up The Sun The sun is on the south-west facing garden throughout the day and early evening, providing a great place to sit and relax. The owners regularly ate out here in summer – and the layout of the garden means it’s beautifully protected from the wind and holds the heat wonderfully. “When friends came over they always commented on how warm it was out here,” the owners smile. It’s a safe garden for children too and fully enclosed, with plenty of space to play outside. The surroundings are quiet and the neighbours all get along well. “We always had a Christmas and New Year’s party with the other residents and everyone has been so welcoming. It’s nice having a mini community on the doorstep and the security that comes with that, yet it never felt intrusive.” The Perfect Position The owners have found the area to be perfect, balancing the peace, freedom and open space of the countryside with easy access to excellent amenities. You’re just 15 minutes from Diss where you can hop on the train and be in London in 90 minutes, a 5-minute drive from the A11 and A47 and the beautiful market town of Wymondham. The schools are first class, with the village primary being rated ‘Outstanding’ and the very desirable Wymondham College just down the road. “There are great local pubs for lazy lunches, amazing places to walk or cycle, plus incredible views. Waking up and seeing the fields with the sun shining down is so relaxing. There’s very little traffic around here too, so you can take the kids out down winding country lanes and often you’ll never even see a passing car.” The Accommodation You take in the imposing front elevation of the property before moving through the front door, which takes you through to a spacious… Main Reception Hall Underfoot you notice the Karndene flooring, whilst to your left you discover the ground floor WC, opposite which is the utility room.
