Great Hockham


Description
Within historic Great Hockham, a popular location in beautiful Breckland, Kenema is situated in the heart of the village overlooking the central green. Its peaceful and quiet location makes this the perfect place to raise a family with Thetford Forest on the doorstep and much to explore, including many different family attractions, such as High Lodge Visitor Centre and Banham Zoo.
Although the village benefits from surrounding countryside and woodland, there's direct access to the A11 corridor, providing good links with wider Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. In addition, there is also a mainline train into London via Cambridge from two nearby market towns.

Having been a family home for nearly 20 years, the bungalow has grown with the family and extends to approximately 1,831 sq. ft., offering all the modern qualities you would expect within a family home. A highlight of the property is the open-plan kitchen/dining room, added by the current owner and truly the heart of the home. Incredibly practical, the kitchen/dining room is well laid out and perfect for socialising or keeping an eye on the children doing their homework. In addition, there is a separate utility room, ideal for keeping clutter and day-to-day practicalities out of the living space.

The dual aspect living room extends to an impressive 21 ft. and offers a light and airy space to entertain. Fitted with patio doors, it leads out onto the rear garden to enjoy throughout the summer months, whilst a central fireplace comes into its own during winter, housing a multi-fuel burning stove, it's perfect for cosying up to on those colder nights.

The positioning of the bedrooms has been extremely well thought out, providing a separation from the living space. The four double bedrooms are highly versatile and could be used for a variety of functions, including the perfect office or a playroom. Whilst three bedrooms share the family bathroom, the main bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, with patio doors opening to the garden.

There is an external wood cabin, ideal for an additional office or a pleasant place to sit out on the decking, taking in the tranquil, peaceful environment.
To the front, there's off road parking space and a feature magnolia tree. The rear garden has an enclosed lawned area, which is fully enclosed, perfect for kids to explore, whilst keeping an eye on them.
 

GREAT HOCKHAM A picturesque village, Great Hockham has the village green at its centre. The village currently has a primary school (100 pupils) and a popular pub, The Eagle. There is a church, community hall and playing field on the outskirts of the village and there are also a number of nearby campsites. Within walking distance of the village is Thetford Forest, with its numerous walks and trails (including the Pingo Trail) and the Peddars way forms part of the village's western parish boundary. Hockham is well known for the former Breckland author Christopher Bush (1885-1973), who wrote under both his own name and the pseudonym Michael Home.
