Less than a mile from schools and shops but surrounded by open fields, this home offers all the benefits of country living without sacrificing convenience in your daily life. Making It Happen When the owners first bought the land, there was nothing here but the original 1950s bungalow. They snapped it up, renovated it completely, and set about building their own home – something they had always wanted to do. By May 2008 they were in, enjoying the fruits of their labour, having created a high-spec, bright and attractive home with an abundance of space that’s easy to maintain. They now live in the main house themselves while renting out the bungalow – but this could also be used as a holiday let, guest accommodation or for different generations of the same family living together while still retaining their own independence and privacy. Impressive Attention To Detail As you view the property, it’s clear to see how much care and attention the owners have lavished on it. “We travelled extensively to find just the right materials for each part of the house and didn’t settle for anything less than the best,” they explain. The kitchen is bespoke and was made in Scotland, benefitting from German appliances. The lighting is LED and is zoned throughout the ground floor, so you only need light the area you’re using and you can have it soft or strong, depending on the atmosphere you wish to create. The flooring is Italian, with a Portuguese fireplace. There’s underfloor heating to the ground floor and skirting radiators upstairs, maximising the use of space and minimising the visual impact. The bathrooms have steam showers and a sauna, while the central vacuum system ensures a cleaner home and fresh air. Upstairs, the second-floor bedroom has a Velux balcony to make the most of the stunning views, while outside, the garaging has been fully insulated and could easily be converted into further accommodation or an office, subject to permission. Fun For All The Family If you enjoy entertaining, you’ll be hard pressed to find something to beat this exceptional home – the owners have certainly put it to the test and it consistently exceeds expectations! “We had our daughter’s wedding here, with two marquees on the lawn and nearly 550 guests. We have also hosted our grandchildren’s christenings,” they smile. And when the children and grandchildren return here, the family can gather together with the kitchen forming the heart of the house. This stunning open plan area with seating and dining means everyone can spread out but still be together – children playing in one part while adults cook in another. Upstairs the owners have chosen to create very generous bedrooms in line with the ground floor proportions and there’s potential to add another in the carpeted loft. Town And Country This home also works perfectly for entertaining on the land, as the large, sweeping lawn area lends itself to social gatherings. When you’re home alone, you’ll see abundant wildlife including foxes, deer, squirrels and a pair of ducks who lay their eggs here each year. “We feed the family until they’re ready to move on then wait to welcome them back next time,” smile the owners. Their grandchildren love visiting because there’s so much space to play and it’s a world away from the London life they’re used to. In summer months, the sunsets are unbelievable and the owners love to sit out here in the evenings on a swing- seat until the sun goes down – it feels like your own slice of paradise. In fact, this whole area brilliantly balances rural living with a holiday feel and day to day convenience. Great Yarmouth is on the doorstep, as are the beautiful Norfolk Broads, but all you see is open countryside in the immediate surroundings. “It’s very peaceful but we’re only five minutes from shops, schools, restaurants and everything else. We can walk on the beach, take the grandchildren to explore the nearby Roman fort, hire a boat and get out on the water – there’s so much to do!”
