Skeyton, NR10

abbotFox Bespoke are delighted to present 'Tanglewood', a most impressive 3500 sq ft six bedroom family enjoying around 3.5 acres (stms) of mature grounds complete with an enclosed tennis court and swimming pool.

Introduction - This six-bedroom home is very much a lifestyle choice. Nestled in around 3.5 acres of land, it includes formal and wild gardens, paddocks, a swimming pool and tennis court and also offers great income potential, with an existing caravan site with the potential to grow.

Inside - The main house is large, extending to over 3,500 sq ft with interiors that are light and airy and combine neutral tones with a contemporary yet rustic edge.

There is a large and welcoming entrance hall at the centre, as well as a huge sitting room with windows to three sides and a separate, cosier family room which is currently used as part of a self-contained one bedroom annex.

The dining room currently functions as a large playroom but it could easily be reinstated, and there is an impressive P-shaped conservatory which overlooks the pool outside.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well-proportioned and beautifully fitted and there is also a study and utility space.

Five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms can be found off a central landing upstairs.

Outside - The grounds around Tanglewood extend to around 3.5 acres, beyond which are beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and woodland giving a real feeling of peace.

A tennis court and swimming pool occupy part of the extensive formal gardens with a lovely south-facing terrace which is ideal for al fresco dining. Lots of parking is provided by a large driveway leading to an oak-framed cart lodge and double garage.

A separate meadow has also been converted into a bespoke, low maintenance caravan park (Certified Location). Little Tree Meadow has been welcoming guests for 3 years, offering six hook-ups and a water point.

Reception Rooms - Light and airy reception spaces dominate much of the ground floor, including a sociable yet versatile kitchen/breakfast room off the entrance hall at the centre.

The perfectly balanced sitting room enjoys lots of natural light, but it still feels cosy and intimate thanks to its impressive beamed ceiling and large inglenook fireplace, which dominates one wall.

The space is a particularly lovely contrast against the adjacent P-shaped conservatory, which offers almost panoramic views of the garden and swimming pool outside and would make a great entertaining space.

At the rear, the former sun lounge has been converted into a self-contained annex, complete with a fitted kitchen, open plan lounge area, bedroom area (bedroom 6) and wet room. This would be well-suited to older relatives or teens or could be used as a functional family space.

Bedrooms And Bathrooms - Five double bedrooms are accessed off a galleried landing on the first floor and include the principal suite which has its own dressing room as well as a luxurious en suite bath and shower. All the bedrooms enjoy stunning countryside views.

Two further family bathrooms - one of which has a bath/shower and one a shower - are located at either end of the landing.

The grounds around the property are impressive and ideal for both private use and as income potential. It includes extensive gardens, a tennis court and pool,

Location - Tanglewood enjoys five acres of its own private grounds and idyllic views over open countryside and woodland - although it’s actually in Skeyton, a small rural village situated on the outskirts of North Walsham, a popular market town which is well-served by a wide range of amenities and good road and rail links.

The village itself is served by the Skeyton Goat Inn, a charming thatched pub and restaurant dating back to the 16th century, as well as nearby All Saints Church and a village hall.

Families - With acres of private land, as well as a swimming pool and tennis court, this impressive six-bedroom home all the more appealing for families who want peace and quiet and like to get outdoors.

The living spaces are extremely versatile and flexible, suitable for families of all ages, and the income potential offers so much possibility for those who want to run and manage their own business.

Yet while the property benefits from all that rural life has to offer, it’s not too far from modern-day conveniences, with primary and secondary schools in the nearby towns of North Walsham and Aylsham, as well as numerous shops and leisure facilities.

The sought-after north Norfolk coast can be reached by car in under half an hour.

Agent's View - “This fantastic countryside residence has lots of potential and would suit a buyer looking for a property with equestrian or business potential.

The views are incredible, the amenities sought-after and I love how the current owners have used the existing layout to their advantage, creating family-friendly living spaces that really suit their lifestyle - without compromising on what it can offer new owners.

This is going to be a very happy home for a new family, and also a great business venture should they want it to be.”
