House For Sale £775,000
Upon entering the prestigious residence of Hillcrest, you are immediately welcomed by a grand entrance hall – a statement of sophistication adorned with a charming log-burner. The proportions of this space are nothing short of ample, easily deceiving one into mistaking it for the primary sitting room. From this magnificent entryway, three opulent reception rooms, a convenient downstairs shower room, and a graceful staircase unfold.
To the right, one discovers the principal sitting room. Featuring a bay window that offers a picturesque view of the property's enchanting garden, this room provides a subtle introduction to the allure from which Hillcrest derives its name. Complemented by another feature log-burner, this sitting room exudes a warm and inviting ambiance – perfect for hosting guests or simply unwinding with a glass of wine by the fireside.
Moving through the hall, a tastefully designed dining room awaits, complete with its own fireplace housing a built-in log-burner. This seamlessly transitions into the modern kitchen, ensuring you remain connected with your guests. Continuing from the kitchen, a strategically placed utility room proves invaluable, offering both garden access and the convenience of bringing in groceries on those drizzly afternoons.
Returning to the final room on the ground floor, a true gem awaits – currently utilised as a study but designed with multi-generational living in mind. This space presents an ideal setting for an elderly relative who may prefer a ground-floor dwelling. The adjacent shower room and hallway configuration enable the creation of a private 'wing' that can be discretely closed off from the main house. The potential to extend this section further has been contemplated by the current owners, envisioning additional living space or the creation of a separate living room.
Ascending to the upper level reveals four generously proportioned bedrooms, with the three front-facing rooms offering breathtaking views of the picturesque Norfolk countryside. The principal bedroom boasts access to an opulent en-suite bathroom, exuding a calming atmosphere. The remaining three bedrooms share access to a newly fitted, modern bathroom.
The exterior of the property spans over one acre of meticulously landscaped grounds, featuring designated areas for vegetable cultivation, distant views of the church, and ample space for a growing family's recreational activities. A double garage and a shingle driveway offers ample parking.
Noteworthy is the potential for expansion to accommodate the evolving needs of a growing family. The property, configured in a back-to-front 'L' shape, provides the opportunity to seamlessly fill the gap, offering the prospect of additional space for a spacious kitchen/dining room or an extension to the envisaged annexe side of the property.
Hillcrest truly exemplifies a residence where luxury and potential harmoniously blend.
Conveniently located for easy access to the A11 and A47, the village of Barnham Broom offers plenty
of local amenities including a Post Office, local shops, a pub, primary school and the Barnham Broom Hotel Golf and Country Club. A couple of wonderful places to visit here are the Painted Barn Café, located on the edge of the village, and the Goatshed Farm Shop and Café, which is near to Barnham Broom Hotel. Four miles south-east you'll find the popular market town of Wymondham, which offers excellent schools, and 9 miles east is the ancient city of Norwich.
Home to writers, radicals and fiercely independent spirits for over a thousand years, today Norwich continues in its legacy as an enclave of culture and creativity. It's perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies.
Named as one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK's most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, you'll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.
When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
This is a city that reveals itself the longer you stay - a city to fall in love with - a city to be a part of.
