Watton

Situated in an exclusive private cul-de-sac, you will discover this spacious and well-presented home which enjoys a stunning brick and flint façade.

This modern home was originally built by skilled local craftsmen and is pleasantly positioned within an exclusive small development of just a handful of similar homes. Southview Close is located at the periphery of the bustling market town of Watton, which hosts an excellent choice of amenities within the locality.

The versatile accommodation extends to more than 1,600 Sq.Ft. and enjoys a highly specified finish throughout the home. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, cloakroom with WC and a reception hall with ample space for a study area.

The main event is an impressively proportioned 'L' shaped space, which features a high specification fitted kitchen with a central island, opening into a dining space and further into a living space with an exposed herringbone brick-backed fireplace and an inset wood-burning stove.

To complete the ground floor is the utility room. You will discover that the ground floor mostly enjoys oak-effect laminate flooring with the benefit of underfloor heating.

Moving to the first floor via the semi-galleried landing, a choice of four double bedrooms awaits. The principal bedroom enjoys a run of fitted wardrobes, as well as its own en-suite facilities incorporating a luxurious walk-in shower.

Bedrooms two, three and four are all of excellent proportions and are well-served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the rear gardens enjoy an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion, with a most desirable south westerly aspect and bounded by a mix of brick and flint walls and fencing. There are stone patio areas to enjoy at differing times of the day to suit, and pathways intersecting well-stocked borders and a central lawn.

A large brick outbuilding houses three separate areas, including workshop and storage and might be prime for conversion into a home office or similar, subject to the necessary contents.

Finally, an oversized single garage and driveway provide a good degree of off-road parking. 

WATTON Providing plenty of country homes with room to grow, plus an ample share of equestrian properties, the popular market town of Watton has a strong rural community, which comes together each year for the annual Wayland Show, one of England's oldest agricultural shows.

Located in the heart of Breckland, the town is well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.

Just outside the town, Loch Neaton is believed to be England's only loch. In 1875, Scottish railway workers excavated land to establish a new railway from Thetford to Watton and the site filled with water from the River Wissey, forming a lake. A group of Victorian entrepreneurs saw the potential to develop this picturesque spot into a pleasure garden with woodland trails, boats, a bandstand and even winter ice skating. Although the attractions are long gone, the loch is still a stunning location to enjoy a relaxing walk or a day spent fishing the waters.

Local legend has it that nearby Wayland Wood is the site of the children's tale, Babes in the Wood, and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore. Enjoy the cycle trails at nearby Thetford Forest or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.

Well-exercised, there are several good pubs serving real ales and good grub to recharge your energy - try The Willow House, The Waggon & Horses in nearby Griston or The Old Bell at Saham Toney, north of Watton.

With its many historic and stunning natural landmarks, plus a superb range of properties to discover, Watton is a jewel in Norfolk's rural crown.
