House For Sale £750,000
We’re delighted to present this wonderful four bedroom detached property in a private locatIon on the outskirts of the Norfolk Broads village of Neatishead. With a fabulous bespoke kitchen breakfast room and a sumptuous master suite, this superb property offers generous accommodation in lovingly landscaped gardens, in one of our favourite Norfolk villages.
A Marvellous Modern Country Home
If you’re searching for a substantial detached home which combines the benefits of modern living with the charm and character of a rural Norfolk village, Charles House in Neatishead could be the dream home for you.
Constructed in 2008 by a respected local builder, Charles House is one of two similar properties which occupy a generous and private plot at the edge of the village, yet is only a short walk from the village centre with well-regarded local amenities – including one of our favourite pubs in Norfolk, a community-run village store, and access to the waterways of the Norfolk Broads National Park via a public staithe.
Screened from the roadway by mature hedging, the property is approached via a gravel driveway which provides parking for at least four cars, and which leads to a detached double garage. The front gardens include a raised bed full of herbs, a small and secluded seating area, and a neat lawned area directly to the front of the property.
Entry to the house is through a welcoming entrance porch, which opens into a spacious hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, and from which all the principal ground floor rooms may be accessed. The generous proportions of this home provide approximately 220m2 of living space across two floors – and with high ceilings and large windows, the house feels bright and airy throughout.
The dual-aspect living room is a superb space to relax, either in front of the wood-burning stove in its feature fireplace in the winter months, or gazing at the beautifully-landscaped rear gardens through a set of French doors in the summer. There’s a formal dining room to the front of the property with plenty of space to host large gatherings, and a study on the ground floor providing essential space to work from home.
If you’re anything like us though, the kitchen / breakfast room is where you’ll want to spend most of your time. This triple-aspect room is a fabulous space, with the very best views from the breakfast table out into the rear garden, thanks to a large rear window and another set of French doors that lead out onto the patio. The kitchen is a bespoke creation from Eric Bates & Sons, and features handmade joinery, beautiful granite worktops, a Smeg range cooker with coordinating appliances and a superb kitchen island with breakfast bar in the centre of the room. Sociable cooking spaces don’t get much better than this, and this room really is the heart of the home!
On the first floor, the four bedrooms in this property radiate from the galleried landing, which also provides access to the family bathroom, airing cupboard and built-in storage.
Three of the bedrooms are doubles, benefiting from views over farmland thanks to the rural situation of this property. The master suite, to the rear of the property, comprises a dual-aspect double bedroom, a separate and spacious dressing room, and a full en-suite bathroom, complete with roll-top bath and separate double shower cubicle.
With morning sun streaming in through the large windows, this is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend lie-in with your first coffee of the day.
The current owner is a talented gardener, and their passion for horticulture is reflected in the care and attention lavished on the outside space. The landscaped rear garden contains beautifully-planted borders, several seating areas to catch the sun throughout the day, delicate pathways under wooden pergolas or through beech hedging, and a selection of raised beds providing home-grown produce – located at the side of the house near a timber garden shed.
Substantial village homes in this part of Norfolk are always highly sought-after, and the location, accommodation and finish of Charles House make this an exceptional individual property which is sure to prove popular.
Location
Located at the fringe of the Norfolk Broads National Park, the village of Neatishead is approximately 11 miles North-east of the City of Norwich, and three miles from the villages of Hoveton and Wroxham, the capital of the Broads.
There’s a strong sense of community in Neatishead, with a thriving local pub with on-site brewery, a community-run village store, and the New Victory Hall – a well utilised village hall with a busy programme of regular events and strong environmental credentials thanks to its straw bale construction. The village also benefits from two churches and an Outstanding primary school, whilst secondary schooling, a supermarket, banks and medical centre can be found in Hoveton, along with a railway station providing branch line services to Norwich, with onward services to London Liverpool Street in as little as 90 minutes.
If you’re looking to venture onto the water, two public staithes provide access to Lime Kiln Dyke, which connects Neatishead to the expansive Barton Broad – the second largest in Norfolk and an area of Special Scientific Interest. Slipways and moorings can be found in nearby Barton Turf, Wroxham, and the village of Horning, which has a bustling waterside culture during the summer months.
On land, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes nearby thanks to a network of country lanes and footpaths which connect a number of villages in the area. The wide skies and sandy beaches of the Norfolk Coast are only nine miles away, whilst the City of Norwich offers ample opportunities for shopping and entertainment.
