Interior
entrance vestibule:
The primary entrance to the property is through a glass-panelled door set within a glazed entrance vestibule, linking the main house and the annex, decorated in magnolia and boasting a thatched roof.
A short flight of slate tiled stairs to the left lead up to a solid-wood door which opens onto the annex kitchen/living area. Another solid-wood door to the right opens onto a short corridor within the main house.
Here, doors to the left lead to the downstairs WC and the utility room with an open archway to the right leading through to the kitchen/diner. The hallway continues into the main, open-plan living space.
Main house:
Kitchen/diner
31’ 2” (9.50m) x 17’ 6” (5.34m)
The state-of-the-art kitchen includes an Indian sandstone floor. In addition, plenty of natural light is allowed by windows to two sides equipped with modern high-performance double-glazing (repeated throughout the remainder of the property).
Light after dark is provided by ceiling mounted low energy LED spotlights, as well as under-unit strip lighting with plenty of storage provided by soft-closing, shaker-style base and wall cabinets in white.
The black granite worktops laid out in an L shape are complemented by the surfaces of a central kitchen island, which also incorporates some innovative storage options and doubles as a preparation area and breakfast bar.
The contemporary design includes space for an upright, American-style fridge/freezer, and includes a double circular stainless steel sink and drainer, beneath the windows overlooking the drive, and a substantial range including a double oven and grill, and six ring electric hob beneath an illuminated extractor.
The adjoining dining area enjoys more Indian sandstone flooring, with authentic solid-oak beams above. More LED spotlights provide light after dark although, during the day, plenty of natural light floods the space through the three-quarter-length windows overlooking the drive as well as a set of double doors opening onto the patio in the rear garden.
Sitting room:
33’ 7” (10.23m) x 16’ 11” (5.15m)

There are fixtures and fittings for a wall-mounted flat-screen TV as well as phone and Ethernet points, while the room includes the same Indian sandstone flooring as the kitchen and dining area.
However, the centrepiece of this room is most certainly the eye-catching, spiral staircase with wrought-iron banisters rising to a gallery beneath a spectacular vaulted ceiling, complete with natural wood beams.
Plenty more light is also allowed by substantial floor-to-eaves windows, also incorporating a glass-panel door allowing access to a paved passageway along the west-facing side of the house. An internal door from here also opens onto the study/gym/bedroom.
Study/gym/bedroom 6:
13’ 9” (4.20m) x 6’ 11” (2.10m)
Accessed predominantly via the living room, this room overlooks an exterior passageway along the west-facing side of the property, but also benefits from a handy, interconnecting door to the ground-floor WC.
Currently used as a gym, the room includes an Indian sandstone floor, plenty of power points and more overhead LED spotlights.
Master bedroom:
17’ 7” (5.37m) x 10’ 1” (3.07m)

As the room is not overlooked, a stand-alone bath tub is currently set on a base mounted on Indian sandstone flooring in front of the windows, allowing extensive views across open countryside, with fixtures and fittings for a wall-mounted flat-screen TV above.
The room also includes a WC set behind a discreet screen as well as a console hand basin above a granite-topped vanity unit, with black splashback tiles above.
The remainder of the room is fitted with carpets with additional natural light allowed by a west-facing Velux window.
Bedroom 2:
Bedroom: 19’ 3” (5.87m) x 10’ 5” (3.18m)

15’ 0” (4.58m) x 8’ 8” (2.64m)
15’ 0” (4.58m) x 8’ 8” (2.64m)
Linked by a Jack-and-Jill en-suite bathroom, both Bedroom 3 and 4 are also carpeted and still comfortably large enough to accommodate double beds. Both rooms enjoy east-facing windows and are decorated in magnolia, with authentic ceiling beams and overhead spotlights.
The en-suite facilities include a corner quadrant shower cubicle, dual-flush WC and console hand basin set within a granite topped vanity unit, below mosaic-style, splashback tiles.
Annex
Kitchen/living area:
16’ 8” (5.09m) x 13’ 4” (4.07m)
The kitchen space in the annex is comfortably large enough to accommodate soft furnishings as well as a dining table and chairs if required and boasts a smart, natural slate floor.
Magnolia walls and timber beams incorporated in the high, vaulted ceiling offer a pleasant contrast and are complemented by the wooden base and wall units offering ample storage in the cooking and preparation area.
The kitchen also includes an electric oven and grill and a modern electric hob beneath a concealed extractor, an integral fridge, a stainless steel sink and drainer with under-unit lighting supplementing the spotlights incorporated in the wooden ceiling beams.
The room includes fixtures and fittings for a wall-mounted, flat-screen TV and patio doors opening onto a private, walled, courtyard garden.
Bedroom:
11’ 10” (3.60m) x 9’ 1” (2.76m)
The comfortable, well-appointed, double en-suite bedroom overlooks the courtyard garden and is equipped with a similar floor to the kitchen area, white décor once again offset by ceiling and wall-mounted beams.
The en-suite facilities include a tiled and recessed shower cubicle, dual-flush WC and console hand basin.
Exterior
The smart, brick-and-timber property sits back from Lower Street, screened by mature green laurel borders which have been allowed to grow to more than head height to offer complete privacy from the road.
An extensive gravel drive to the right-hand side of the house offers off-street parking for a number of vehicles, leading to head-high timber gates which open onto the rear gardens beyond.
The driveway is also overlooked by three-quarter-length windows in the dining room as well as from the kitchen in the main house - the latter also enjoying a view over a smart and sunny flagstone patio, bordered by a brick-built sleeper wall and leading to the property’s main entrance. Steps from the patio also lead to an additional external door opening directly onto the annex’s own kitchen.
The delightful and extensive rear garden benefits from a large 16ft x 10ft Store/Workshop, alongside an additional timber shed, and is surrounded by tall and well-established green borders around a second patio accessible via double doors from the dining room. Lawns beyond are surrounded by ornamental shrubs and plants offering colour and variety, a post-and-rail fence separating this part of the garden from a large private orchard beyond.
Planted with fruit trees, but also laid to lawn, the orchard is bordered by more mature hedging, with views of open countryside beyond as far as the woods surrounding Salhouse Broad.
The thatched annex also benefits from its own private, walled courtyard garden, accessible via double doors from the kitchen.
Location
Enjoying a quiet location in the northern edge of the village, backing onto open countryside and less than a mile from the River Bure and the Norfolk Broads, the property is ideal for a buyer looking for an idyllic rural retreat within easy reach of Norwich.
Amenities close by include the village’s Bell Inn – a family and pet-friendly pub renowned for its gardens and traditional menu – the Jubilee Hall community centre and the village’s community-aided primary school, rated “good” at is last inspection by Ofsted in 2018.
