House For Sale £260,000
Positioned within the market town of Watton is this lovely four-bedroom, detached family home built by the much-respected Taylor Wimpey.
Entering the property, we step into a well-portioned hallway of which all ground floor reception rooms stem. Immediately to the left-hand side is a study, perfect for those working from home or in need of a playroom.
To the right of this is a large family sitting room with double doors leading out onto the decking area, which is perfect for those warm summer evenings.
The final room on the ground floor is the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has a small breakfast bar facing out to the garden, fitted with modern units, with a door leading to a utility room. The kitchen area opens onto the dining room, which is large enough for a good-sized table and chairs and is close enough to the kitchen, so the chef never feels left out when entertaining.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the primary having sole use of the en-suite shower room, the rest sharing the family bathroom.
Outside and to the rear is a private garden mainly laid to lawn with a side gate leading to the single garage. To the front is parking for two cars.
WATTON Providing plenty of country homes with room to grow, plus an ample share of equestrian properties, the popular market town of Watton has a strong rural community, which comes together each year for the annual Wayland Show, one of England's oldest agricultural shows.
Located in the heart of Breckland, the town is well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.
Just outside the town, Loch Neaton is believed to be England's only loch. In 1875, Scottish railway workers excavated land to establish a new railway from Thetford to Watton and the site filled with water from the River Wissey, forming a lake. A group of Victorian entrepreneurs saw the potential to develop this picturesque spot into a pleasure garden with woodland trails, boats, a bandstand and even winter ice skating. Although the attractions are long gone, the loch is still a stunning location to enjoy a relaxing walk or a day spent fishing the waters.
Local legend has it that nearby Wayland Wood is the site of the children's tale, Babes in the Wood, and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore. Enjoy the cycle trails at nearby Thetford Forest or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.
Well-exercised, there are several good pubs serving real ales and good grub to recharge your energy – try The Willow House, The Waggon & Horses in nearby Griston or The Old Bell at Saham Toney, north of Watton.
With its many historic and stunning natural landmarks, plus a superb range of properties to discover, Watton is a jewel in Norfolk's rural crown.
