Finding The Perfect Place This eye-catching abode is Grade II listed with a quintessential Georgian frontage that’s been extended over the years to provide an additional wing and an annexe. The owners came here looking for a place in which to raise their family – they were attracted by the lifestyle this offered and have found the home and gardens alike have more than met their expectations ever since. “We could see it was a gem,” they explain, “And we loved the idea of being close to Norwich but having so much space to call our own, inside and out.” A Place To Make Memories The property has great kerb appeal as it’s a hugely attractive house – and inside continues to charm. There are two sizeable receptions to the front of the house, one of which is particularly impressive and the owners have found it perfect for larger groups and gatherings. With a choice of four receptions, you can have a playroom, formal dining room, library or whatever it is you’re after, plus there’s plenty of space for families to spread out and do their own thing. Despite its size, this is a comfortable and welcoming home and the owners say it has a wonderful happy feel to it. “We’ve always felt so relaxed here. The kids always have friends over and they can stay for the whole weekend without any of us getting under each other’s feet. It’s great to know they’re having lots of fun but also that they’re safe.” The big family Christmas gatherings are another highlight, filling the drawing room with relatives, everyone catching up with each other and the hosts lighting the wood burner to enhance the festive feel.
