Norwich Road, Long Stratton, Norfolk

Woodlands is a detached modern four-bedroom house within a beautiful and secluded mature half acre plot on the edge of a small community town in South Norfolk. Built in 1987 of brick elevations under pantile roof, the property’s modern construction is well suited for the more recent additions of solar panels and air source heat pump which in combination provides a low cost and highly efficient supply of heat and power. The property offers excellent family accommodation across two storeys with a large sitting room with wood burning stove and sliding doors out to the rear garden and double doors through to the dining room also with views over the rear garden. The kitchen breakfast room has been extended and is incredibly light with velux windows above a breakfast table and oak framed floor to ceiling window and sliding doors to the rear garden. The kitchen and utility room enjoy a solid wood floor with handmade underlit floor cabinets under solid wood worktops. The utility leads to a rear porch giving access to the double garage.

Upstairs is the principal bedroom with en suite shower room by Porcelanosa. The landing is large and gives access to three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property benefits from a recently installed air source heat pump and solar array producing circa 2,700 Kwh of free electricity as well as £2,000 per annum of tax free and index linked Feed In Tariff for a further 12 years.

Outside, the property enjoys mature front and rear gardens that are mostly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs including Oak, Walnut, Spruce, Ash, Pink Horse Chestnut, Holly, Scots Pine, Silver Birch, Sycamore and Yew. The rear garden was designed by Bob Flowerdew (regular BBC Radio 4 Garden Question Time expert) to be easily maintained. Features include a terrace, hedge borders, pond, and vegetable plot. The property is approached via a gravel drive to the double garage and parking for numerous vehicles.
