SERENITY AND SCENERY

“Wind your way down the close, near to the river with the woodland around. It’s so private and so peaceful here with bird- song the only sound. A year-round community yet with a holiday feel, on the doorstep and the coast down the road, the house so beautifully renovated your heart will steal, the stunning reception and master suite the highlights at this welcoming abode.”

• Detached Chalet Style Home • Popular Village Location • Modern Kitchen Breakfast Room • Separate Utility Room • Spacious Sitting Room • 4 Bedrooms, Master with En-Suite • Family Bathroom • Off-Road Parking and Garage • Garden with Patio Area • The property extends to 1980.35sq.ft. • EPC Rating E This modern home has been updated and extended by the owners, creating a charming property with a wonderfully relaxing feel that’s easy to live in and low maintenance too. It’s set at the end of a quiet road in the Broadland village of St Olaves, close to the river and the leisure facilities that are found dotted around this area. With glorious countryside on the doorstep and the Broads and the beach nearby, this is the ideal base from which to explore all that this area is renowned for and to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle you’re after.

A Dream Come True The owners of this lovely home had lived in Norfolk before and always hankered after a home in this village. It’s close to their grown-up children who now have their own families and near to the river. Much of this area can be quite remote but you’re very well connected here as the village benefits from the only main road crossing over this stretch of river, so it’s easy to head east to or west to the pretty town of Beccles. “Although it’s in the Broads and popular with tourists, we don’t have any holiday parks in the village, so we benefit from a choice of excellent pubs, a couple of which are in walking distance, but we don’t get disturbed by an influx of people over the summer. There’s a year-round community here,” explain the owners.

Making Memories With Family It’s very important to the owners that their home works for larger gatherings as this is the place where their extended family come for Christmas and other special occasions. The reception room is incredibly spacious and impressive, with plenty of room for dining and seating areas – it accommodates a good number of people in great comfort. The owners have extended the kitchen too, so what was before rather cut off from the rest of the house, now functions well in its own right, with a lovely breakfast area where people can sit and chat, plus doors onto the garden so the grandchildren can wander in and out freely. “Everyone loves to come here,” smile the owners, “They don’t want us to leave!”

Working Well For Every Scenario It’s incredibly quiet here. There’s no passing traffic as you only have a couple of other houses past this one and there’s woodland to the rear which keeps it even more peaceful and private. It also encourages the birdlife and the owners have placed feeders in the front and back gardens to ensure as many as possible stop by. “Our grandchildren love spotting squirrels too,” they explain. It’s been a very happy home to the owners and has worked brilliantly both for them as a couple and when the family descend. There’s certainly plenty of room for a large family, while the ground floor bedroom and bathroom mean this could also work well for someone with limited mobility. Upstairs, the master suite is very special, with a beautiful bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams making a wonderful retreat.

“We have extended to create a breakfast room opening onto the kitchen and to the garden.”

“Our family live nearby and we often host everyone here. It’s a great house for social occasions.”

“We love our master bedroom – we’ve been spoilt and we’ll struggle to find another as nice as this!”

“We are within the village and can walk to the pub but we’re tucked away too.”

“We always wanted to live in this village and it’s more than lived up to our expectations.” Local Authority: Great Yarmouth Borough Council Council Tax Band: E
