Great Dunham | Norfolk PEACE of the COUNTRY Great Dunham | Norfolk PEACE OF THE COUNTRY Tucked away in the village of Great Dunham, this four-bedroom property built in the mid-90s offers the tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside from the comfort of a modern home. With a large back garden and a setting next to the village green there is all the space you could want, but with easy access to the A47 and the market town of Swaffham. • Executive, Detached family home sitting in an established plot with generous gardens • Rural living with modern comforts and found within 2.5 Miles of Litcham School • Versatile accommodation which includes Entrance Hall, Shower Room, Music Room, Open Plan Kitchen/Family Room • Four Bedrooms (master measuring 21’4 x 21’), Family Bathroom and En-Suite • Utility/Boot Room, Off Road Parking and Double Garage with Front & Rear Gardens • Total Accommodation extends to 2391 sq.ft • Energy Rating D Space and Convenience The moment you pass through the gated entrance and along the gravelled drive and see the front lawn leading up to this family home, there’s the impression of spaciousness. A newbuild on land previously attached to the adjacent property, when the present owners moved into it in December 1996 they installed a new kitchen and carried out landscaping work in the large back garden, and it has been their family home ever since. The feeling of space persists once inside the property. “There’s a very large master bedroom with views over the rear garden. This is a feature but could easily be developed into two separate bedrooms if desired.” And below it, with a recently installed log fire to enjoy, “The back room facing the garden was used mainly for dining in the past but is now primarily enjoyed as a music room.” Add to that the potential for a conservatory, and to perhaps utilise the large roof void, then there is even more room that could be made use of if so required. Garden Aplenty With its front lawn and sizeable back lawn, the owners remarked, “There’s lots of space for children and dogs to play in the garden”. Two French windows open onto the rear terrace for those summer barbeques too. There’s ample room for parking in the driveway off from the road, and a standalone double garage with storage space in the roof eaves. The owners speak fondly of the local wildlife that flocks to the garden with a wide variety of birds as regular visitors, including owls, cuckoos and even the occasional deer. Town and Country “The beautiful North Norfolk Coast is only thirty to forty minutes’ drive,” the owners commented, also mentioning Titchwell for its birdwatching and Thetford Forest as favourite destinations, or simply the drives they have taken along the back roads for picnics or to admire the scenery. Closer to home, the surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and cycle rides, with regular activities at the Community Hall in Great Dunham for those interested. In the village there is also Great Dunham Primary School and Litcham High School for those with younger families. And if the amenities of a nearby town are required, then Swaffham is within easy reach, there is a Waitrose, Public Houses and shops. “We have many happy memories of the children growing up in this peaceful environment, and entertaining relatives and friends.” On the doorstep Great Dunham is a conveniently situated small village, with easy access to the market towns of Fakenham, Dereham and Swaffham. The village has a pleasant community with the increasingly popular Great Dunham Primary school and St Andrews Church. How far is to?… Great Dunham lies approximately 11 miles from the market town of Fakenham, 9 miles from Dereham and 8 miles from Swaffham. For those that require access to Norwich, the heart of the City Centre, lies within 26 miles. Here you will find a range of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities and the railway station with rail links to London and Cambridge and to the north, the airport. Directions From our offices in Fakenham leave south on the A1065 towards Swaffham, stay on this road until reaching the junction with the B1145 after West Lexham. Once in the centre of the village continue on the Lexham Road until you join North Street to Dunham.
