House For Sale £750,000
We’re delighted to present this fantastic six bedroom detached property in a private locatIon in the North Norfolk village of Paston, available with no onward chain. With a wealth of character features in generous accommodation spread over three floors, and incredible field views to the rear, this is an ideal retreat surrounded by countryside and just one mile from the beaches of the Norfolk Coast.
THE PERFECT NORTH NORFOLK RETREAT
When the current owner of Meadow View acquired the property as a shell just over 10 years ago, he set out to create the perfect retreat in this idyllic location in the coastal village of Paston. Two years of painstaking construction work followed, and the result is a delightful six-bedroom home with 230m2 of character-filled accommodation across three floors, which maximises every aspect of its location and basks in unobstructed field views to the south.
We think he succeeded in his aim, because this multi-faceted home has something to offer at every turn – starting even before you enter the grounds.
Meadow View sits comfortably behind a brick-and-flint wall at the edge of the village, close to a designated network of Quiet Lanes, and with little passing traffic to disturb the sense of seclusion. Substantial electrically operated timber gates provide a feeling of privacy and security when closed, and a warm and inviting welcome as they swing open onto the gravel driveway which leads towards the property past an immaculate lawn and provides off-road parking for several vehicles.
The house has been constructed in a traditional style, a pleasing combination of brick and flint which is common in this part of the county, and successfully incorporates many carefully considered details which combine heritage design with modern construction to create a home with broad appeal.
LOCATION
The village of Paston is located less than a mile from the North Norfolk coast, approximately four miles north of the market town of North Walsham and nine miles south-east of the seaside town of Cromer.
A small rural village, it sits astride the coast road between Bacton and Mundesley – which offers local shops, a medical centre, library, post office, Infant and Junior schools, churches and three public houses, in addition to an easily accessible beach. Meadow View is located along a quiet lane on the southern edge of the village, with unobstructed views over fields towards the neighbouring village of Knapton.
High street shopping can be found inland in North Walsham, a bustling medieval market town which is home to a variety of independent and national shops, a range of supermarkets, high school and sixth form college, a fitness centre and cinema. North Walsham is served by a railway station which sits on the Bittern Line between Cromer and Sheringham on the coast, and the City of Norwich – with rail links from Norwich to London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes.
Norwich offers a cosmopolitan array of amenities, with flagship national stores and two retail malls alongside independent shops and one of the oldest and largest permanent outdoor markets in the UK, plenty of entertainment on offer, and an international airport which provides opportunities for business and leisure travel.
