Drayton: ½ a mile, Taverham: ½ a mile, : 6 miles. The Property Ridgewood is a beautifully appointed family home, situated in a quiet secluded position off a private road, yet convenient for the facilities of Drayton and Taverham. The house is believed to date back to 1932 with later additions and alterations and in the main is of cavity brick construction under a pintile roof. The previous owners during the early 1980s carried out major improvements and renovation works including a large extension on the northwest side to provide a new kitchen with bedroom above and an additional wing added to the dining room which provides a study. The current family have owned the property since 2004 and continued carrying out many improvements which include the replacement of some of the windows, the overhaul of the roof with new felt and the construction and rebuilding of the large double garage with stunning adjoining office. The office has its own kitchenette and separate WC and is finished to a high quality standard with its own heating/air conditioning system run on an air source heat pump. Within the main house, the kitchen was replaced around 2009 in solid oak units with granite work surfaces and incorporates a four oven Aga as well as electric oven and three burner gas hob. All the bathrooms in the main house were also replaced between 2005 and 2006. We draw you attention to the floorplans for a full explanation as to how the accommodation is arranged which offers a good degree of flexibility and the potential to create a separate annexe area if required. The house has mains gas heating as well as the four oven gas Aga.
