House For Sale £900,000
Charming edge of village home in about 1 acre.
Description
Wickets is an attractive brick and flint cottage, sympathetically extended by the current owners to create an impressive edge of village home, set in about an acre of delightful gardens.
The house is wonderfully presented throughout, with a great functionality. A main entrance hall leads to the principal rooms, including a lovely sitting room with woodburner, a dining room, and through to the impressive kitchen. With bespoke handmade cabinetry, features include a larder cupboard and coffee cupboard with wine cooler below, the space is brilliantly laid out for ease of use, with double doors through to a light and spacious garden room providing views over the landscaped gardens, ponds and beyond to the meadow. The ground floor is complete with an excellent utility room with fitted cabinets and a dog shower, ideal for rural living and providing access through to the garage.
A staircase from the main hall, under which is bespoke cabinetry, leads up to the first floor which hosts all bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. At the rear of the house is the substantial principal bedroom suite, with dressing area and shower room fitted to a high standard. The bedroom has fine views out over the gardens and countryside beyond, with glazed double doors onto a Juliet balcony making the most of the aspect.
Garden and lands
The house is approached through wooden panelled gates onto a gravelled driveway, with parking for many cars and access to the garage.
The delightful gardens are a feature of Wickets, and have been landscaped to make many points of interest. Pathways of gravel and pacing meander through well stocked flower beds, alongside the ponds, through the kitchen garden, up to the green house, over the ornamental steel edged sundial area and reaching the point where the land opens out to a meadow and orchard. There are decked terraces adjoining the rear of the house, and set on the edge of the pond, providing outside dining and entertaining areas. An oak frame outbuilding, under a pantile roof, is almost bothy like in appearance, with veranda and currently used as a workshop but could be utilised in many other ways such as a home office or games rooms.
The gardens are fully fenced to allow dogs or children to roam freely.
Location
The house is located to the north-east of the village of Little Snoring, ideally located to enjoy the best of Norfolk within easy reach of the North Norfolk coastline and the Georgian town of Holt. The village has a public house, and village shop with post office whilst the neighbouring village of Thursford hosts the famous Thursford Collection, with the worlds largest collection of steam engines and organs, the amazing Christmas spectacular amongst other features. Thursford also has a petrol station, renowned Thai restaurant and seafood restaurant. The nearby Bale stores and petrol station serves the local villages for everyday essentials.
The house is about two miles from Walsingham, with a thriving farm shop, primary school, shops and public houses. The North Norfolk coast is about seven miles, with a plethora of restaurants, public houses, excellent sailing, bird watching and a network of coastal paths. The Georgian town of Holt is about eight miles, with a brilliant range of independent shops, Byfords delicatessen, medical practice, pharmacy and further amenities. Further shopping and supermarkets, alongside National Hunt racecourse and 9-hole golf course can be found at the market town of Fakenham (about four miles).
