House For Sale £649,995
A substantial and imposing 1930’s built detached house, proudly occupying an elevated position which commands spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, in the peaceful village of Nonington.
Highbank was formerly the village post office and village stores, however it has since been significantly extended and converted into an impressive family home. The property now offers beautifully appointed and extremely spacious accommodation, set over two floors.
A UPVC double glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with a well appointed shower room and lovely wood effect flooring. This continues into a huge dining room, with a fitted dresser. To the front of the house, there is another vast reception room, a splendid dual aspect sitting room with a limestone fireplace with a gas fire and two large picture windows which afford fine views to the front of the house.
The kitchen is to the rear of the house and has been fitted with an excellent range of sleek and contemporary wall and floor units with accent lighting, set around quartz work surfaces and a range of neff and Miele integrated appliances. The kitchen is complemented by a large utility room on one side and a cloakroom and outer lobby on the other. Finally, the extensive ground floor accommodation is completed by two further reception rooms, currently used as a family room and a study.
On the first floor, a long, galleried landing leads to five, generously proportioned double bedrooms (two with en-suites) and a well appointed family bathroom. This has been fitted with a contemporary white suite with a double ended bath and shower and striking black quartz floor tiles.
The master bedroom is a dual aspect room with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and splendid views over countryside.
Outside:
The property sits within a generous plot and is set back from the road in an elevated and therefore secluded position. It is approached via a resin bonded, gated driveway with inset lighting, which provides ample parking for numerous vehicles.
The gardens wrap around the side and rear of the house and are mainly laid to lawn, with pretty raised flowerbeds, enclosed by sleepers. To the side of the house, there is a large patio area, whilst at the rear of the garden, there is a superb timber outbuilding with mains power, which could easily serve as a home office, games room or gym.
Situation:
Highbank enjoys an elevated position, set back from Easole Street on a bank, which affords the property fine views over Fredville Park and the surrounding countryside. The village of Nonington has an active community with a village hall and a primary school, whilst nearby village of Aylsham offers a wider range of local services, including several shops and businesses and a mainline station. Nonington is surrounded by some truly beautiful countryside, with plenty of walks and footpaths, making this an ideal location for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
