Bears Lane, Hingham, NR9

DESCRIPTION Rowan House is an exceptional contemporary eco house, with light filled and well-proportioned rooms. The house is built to exacting standards in one of the most sought-after areas of south Norfolk, being tucked away in the delightful market town of Hingham.

The house is constructed from highly insulated concrete framework with part Norstone cladding elevations and part VPI silicone render, under a bespoke metal roof with solar panels. The eco credentials of the house are exceptional, benefitting from an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout the house, which is individually zoned on each floor. There is a wonderful feel about Rowan House with its light filled rooms and modern, bespoke fittings whilst enjoying seamless links into the gardens.

The house is approached at the front into a double height entrance hall with porcelain tiling flowing throughout the ground floor. The bespoke handmade ash staircase with in-line glass takes centre stage up to the first floor, the dual aspect principal sitting room lies off the entrance hall and features a central Gazco electric flame effect fire, porcelain tiling and aluminium bi-folding doors that link onto the west facing terrace beautifully.

The focal point to the property is the delightful kitchen/dining/sitting room which occupies the western wing of Rowan House, enjoying incredible views and access onto the south and west facing terraces and manicured gardens. The kitchen benefits from a range of contemporary wall, base and tall storage units under Silestone worktops being complimented by a super range of built in appliances. This area of the house was configured with great care ensuring there were areas to entertain whilst utilising the charming gardens accessed via sliding patio doors. Completing the ground floor is a study/bedroom 4, boot room and utility room.

The first floor provides access to the bedroom accommodation and family bathroom, being positioned off an impressive galleried landing with an intriguing feature being the curved wall which links with bedroom three superbly. The principal bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and an en-suite with large remote digital shower, a theme that continues in bedroom two. The porcelain tiled family bathroom boasts a stone resin bath and Porcelanosa fittings. All first-floor bedrooms benefit from lovely views over the associated gardens.

Rowan House is approached off Bears Lane onto a gravelled driveway which sweeps up to an area of hardstanding fronting the garage complex. There are a range of deep beds hosting a number of flower and shrub borders with two mature trees occupying the easterly front gardens enjoying a great deal of privacy from neighbouring properties.

A side access leads into the rear gardens together with the aforementioned accesses from the main house. The south and west facing landscaped rear gardens have been beautifully tended by the current owners. They include the delightful porcelain terrace which wraps around the frame of Rowan House, together with a manicured lawned garden and shingle borders with paved steps leading on to the detached garden room/home office. The office can be used for a number of purposes including a gym, and benefits from a wc and wash basin.
