House For Sale £600,000
If you’re searching for a home in Norfolk where you can sit back, relax and unwind from the stresses of modern life then this three-bedroom chalet on the outskirts of Neatishead could be the perfect property for you.
Set amongst a small cluster of individual properties on the edge of this sought-after Norfolk Broads village, this property was constructed in the early 1970s to take full advantage of the open countryside which it faces, and all three generous double bedrooms benefit from views across open fields.
The property is approached through a timber five-bar gate which leads to a generous shingled driveway, with off-road parking for several vehicles and access to an integral single garage. The front garden has been landscaped with a lawned seating area providing the perfect place to enjoy rural Norfolk sunsets over the fields beyond, whilst a pedestrian access gate leads around the side of the property to a garden storage area and then beyond into the rear gardens.
This is a home built with generous rooms, and as soon as you enter the property this becomes immediately apparent. The spacious and welcoming entrance hall comfortably houses a piano, with light streaming in through the full-height glazed panels next to the front door. The ground floor bedroom, with a well-equipped en-suite bathroom and plenty of storage, is the first room that you pass, but what draws your eye immediately are the views through the property, with a feature bay window in the living room at the back of the bungalow looking out across the private and lushly planted rear gardens beyond.
The living room is a room for all seasons – south facing with plenty of natural sunlight all year round, those incredible garden views in the summer, and cosy and inviting in the winter months thanks to a wood-burning stove in the feature fireplace. Next to the living room is a short corridor leading past a ground floor cloakroom to the kitchen dining room, recently refitted with contemporary units and integrated appliances, and again enjoying south-facing views to the rear of the property. Beyond this, through a delightful timber stable door, a conservatory provides the perfect spot for a bar area – ideal for entertaining inside and out.
On the first floor, two bedrooms comfortably house king-size beds, and the first-floor landing is large enough to accommodate a study area, perfect for those of us who work from home regularly. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Stepping back outside the property and into the private rear gardens, these are truly a horticultural enthusiast’s dream. Thoughtfully landscaped, densely planted, and full of interest all year round, this garden is a wonderful place to spend time enjoying the outdoors, with carefully positioned seating areas, a well-stocked pond with waterfall feature and plenty of specimen plants including ornamental hops and an established banana tree.
This is a fantastic property in a sought-after location, and the current owners have thoroughly enjoyed their time living here as part of the community in this delightful corner of Norfolk.
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, bank, Post Office 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.
Homes such as this are always popular, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this delightful property.
