Positioned only a few miles out of Downham Market, the house itself provides over 2700 square feet of beautifully maintained and presented accommodation over two floors. Downstairs, there is a sizeable, welcoming entrance hall with a straight staircase leading to the first floor. Leading from here also are the 2 main reception rooms. The main sitting room extends to over 27ft in size and is full of natural light with double opening doors leading through to the rear patio. The central dining room spans almost 13ft in size before opening through to a 17ft conservatory that boasts a glass vaulted ceiling and which fully enjoys the privacy to the rear. There is also a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, side entrance hall and a separate boot room/utility with built-in storage. Upstairs, the long landing provides access to each of the bedrooms all of which are well proportioned. The largest extends to 18ft in size, has generous rows of fitted wardrobes and a modern, large en-suite housing both a bath and shower. The main bathroom also follows this modern style and sense of space. Outside, the property is set-back allowing for extensive levels of private parking to both the front and side, complimented further by the existence of the double garage. The mature gardens provide lawns and generous recreational areas and placed within the patio directly behind the property, there is a luxurious, fully heated swimming pool. The main workshop provides around 1200 square feet of working area with an additional store adjoined to either side. This area is more-or-less sectioned from the main house and gardens and has an outside area measuring around ¼ of an acre. Altogether this presents many opportunities for those looking to store large vehicles/belongings or for anyone looking to explore the opportunities of working from home.
