West Dereham

A builder by trade, our seller dreamt of building his own family home, which is exactly what Hawthorn Lodge has been for the past 25 years, with an abundance of happy memories created here.

The hub of this loving home is the newly appointed kitchen/dining/sitting area. With bi-fold doors leading to the rear garden, this is that space where family and friends gather, be it summer or winter.

The sitting room, with its gas burner, has a wonderful cosy ambience, especially during the cooler months. Big windows to the rear fill the room with natural light.

For those that work from home, the separate study located to the front of the property is ideal, or it could alternatively be used as a playroom.

Being a chalet house the space here is very versatile. The family bathroom and three bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, one of which further benefits from an en-suite. Whilst on the first floor you will find two further, generous bedrooms, again with one enjoying en-suite facilities featuring a jacuzzi bath.

Outside, the space has been designed to be of low maintenance. To the front, a gravel drive leads to the detached double garage nestled behind a five-bar gate, providing ample off road parking, whilst the green lawn softens the look.

The well-maintained rear garden is a blank canvas for the avid gardener. The patio area is ideal for summer barbecues, whilst watching the children enjoy playing on the generous lawn.

This loving family home, which offers tranquillity, space and versatility, is available with no onward chain - ready for someone new to start their next chapter here.

The nearby, meandering River Wissey adds to its scenic beauty, offering opportunities for leisurely walks and moments of reflection. West Dereham's close-knit community and welcoming village hall, which has recently been refurbished and now offers a full bar - The White Hart Bar, creates a friendly atmosphere, while its proximity to nature reserves and wildlife habitats makes it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. A visit to West Dereham promises a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into the rustic beauty of rural Norfolk.

Just over four miles one of Norfolk's oldest market towns can be found, Downham Market can be traced back to Saxon times.

The town has a good range of shops and a busy market on Fridays and Saturdays as well as a range of schools and nurseries including a college. There are many attractive houses and buildings and an unusual gothic black and white town clock.

There is a mainline railway station with fast direct trains to Cambridge (39 minutes)and London King's Cross (1 hour and 35 minutes). It is an ideal place for walking or cycling and the peaceful waterways are excellent for boating and fishing.
