All the advantages of country living without needing to travel far for work or leisure, a friendly community yet the chance to enjoy the haven of home, a property that’s so easy to live in with no work to do – this high-spec home offers all this and so much more besides.

Created With Care The owners first saw their home when it was little more than a shell and fell in love with the location and the chance to create a beautiful contemporary home with a comfortable feel: “We really liked the idea of being in Wreningham and the wooded yet sunny plot won us over. We could see that the house would be spacious, so we could entertain and host family here, as well as jumping at the chance to choose the fixtures and finishings, having that input into making the house our own, without having to do the work ourselves,” they explain. Built by Fyebridge Developments, the home is one of just two set in the woods here and has been meticulously finished with exquisite attention to detail. Fyebridge declare themselves ‘passionate about our homes and the service we provide… every home is built with the same level of care and attention to detail as if it were our own’. The owners originally chose top of the range fittings and have kept the property immaculate ever since, so it still has the fresh feel of a new build.

KEY FEATURES

Working So Well This is a home that’s very easy to live in, being well set up for modern lifestyles and offering plenty of space and minimal maintenance. It’s also highly energy efficient. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, with room for both dining and seating areas, as well as a breakfast bar, plus bifold doors opening wide onto the slate terrace beyond. “We often have our grandchildren here and when they visit, we practically live in this room,” the owners smile, “It’s also excellent for social occasions.” There’s a separate formal dining room too, plus a study and a lovely bright sitting room (also with bifold doors) with a stylish woodburner, perfect for relaxing evenings, especially in winter. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles and two have en-suites – another thing the owners have found to be a bonus: “Our master suite is at one end and the other guest suite is around the corner, so when you have people to stay, you all enjoy a high degree of privacy”. The layout has worked brilliantly for the owners as a sociable couple who regularly have guests to stay, and they have found it to be ideal for their young grandchildren too – a wonderfully secure and comfortable home for all.

An Idyllic Spot The house sits quite centrally within the plot, with plenty of parking to the front and a lovely sunny slate terrace to the rear. The lawn stretches out beyond this, drawing your eye to the mature woodland that offers shade and also hosts a variety of birdlife, even woodpeckers and buzzards, so there’s always wildlife to spot. Wreningham is a lively and popular village, perhaps best known for the excellent gastropub, The Bird in Hand, which is a short walk from the property. But there’s much more to the village than this – community life centres on the village hall, where there’s a wine bar, regular fish and chip nights, groups and events. The village also has an Outstanding primary school and feeds into High. “We have found it very convenient being close to the A11, A140 and A47 but being far enough away to enjoy the peace and the leafy feel of our surroundings,” smile the owners.

SUMMARY

Each of the bedrooms offer large windows providing plenty of natural light, whilst all bathrooms benefit from under floor heating. There is also additional storage found to the landing. The loft is boarded and benefits from an automatic release loft ladder for ease of use. Externally the property is accessed via a shingle drive, which leads directly to a double garage, one of which is enclosed and the other open. Additional parking can also be found to the front of the property. A paved path guides you to the front door, as well as to the rear gardens, where access can be found to either side of the property.
