• An Executive Detached Family Residence situated within Stratton Strawless • Five Bedrooms; En Suite to Master; Main Bathroom • Open Plan Kitchen/Breakfast Room with Separate Utility • Sitting Room with Inglenook Fireplace; Playroom/Study • Double Garage with Additional Parking • The Accommodation extend to 2,396sq.ft • Energy Rating: B A much-loved home with lovely private garden in a glorious rural yet convenient setting, the owners of this impressive home moved here as a couple and now have three children, finding the house has adapted to their every need over their time here, rising to every occasion. As attractive as it is versatile, the spacious property is also practical, with economical running costs and minimal maintenance required – so you can spend your time enjoying the chance to make treasured memories with family and friends. Living The Dream The owner of this desirable home remembers admiring it, as it was being built, back in 2005: “I used to drive past and think one day I’d love to live there. I thought it had so much kerb appeal and looked so smart and inviting, as well as having the lovely setting. When I met my partner and the house came on the market, we jumped at the chance to make it our home.” Moving here as a couple, they loved the sense of space and have now had three children, so this has certainly been a place where many memories have been made and the family have had lots of fun here over the years. Meeting Your Every Need The layout works so well that the owners have tried to replicate that in their new property. “It’s practical and makes day to day life easier,” they smile. The large open plan area at the heart of the home forms the kitchen breakfast and family room, with doors onto the garden and plenty of space for parties. The utility to the side also works well as this leads to the downstairs loo, so when you’re out in the garden, you don’t have to traipse through the house with muddy feet to get to the bathroom. “It’s also ideal if you have dogs!”. The ground floor has a further two separate reception rooms, one currently a formal sitting room and one a playroom – keeping toys away from the main part of the house while the adults can still keep an eye on or ear out for the kids. Upstairs, there are five good size bedrooms, with the master suite having built-in wardrobes and a lovely en-suite. A Lovely Location The owners love entertaining and have hosted many parties and gatherings here, including some for their children’s birthdays. “The garden is a total suntrap and we are often able to have barbecues into late September or even early October as it’s so lovely and warm out here.” It’s also very private. Relax on the terrace watching your children play and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings. The owners love the views from the front, stretching out over open countryside to the woodland beyond. “We often go for family walks in the woods, heading down the public footpaths down the road. There are lakes too. It’s perfect if you enjoy cycling, walking dogs or simply exploring the countryside.” They have also found this a great base from which to make the most of the area, visiting the beach at Cromer, shopping in the pretty market town of Aylsham or using the Park and Ride for hassle free trips to Norwich.
