Hawthorns, Union Road, Smallburgh, Norfolk

Set on a generous plot measuring approximately two and a quarter acres, Hawthorns is a detached family home set in a rural location in the heart of the Broads National Park near the popular North Norfolk village of Smallburgh, which lies less than seven miles to the Norfolk coastline and fourteen miles north-east of the capital city of Norwich. The property benefits from easy access to the local amenities that include a village hall with playing field and The Crown public house. Additional services including supermarket and petrol station, as well as schooling and medical centre can be found in the nearby village of Stalham.

Hawthorns is positioned back from the road and is approached over a shingle driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a garage. To the rear, a paved terrace extends away to a harmony of neatly maintained lawn gardens, paved and gravelled pathways, and a river bed that winds its way through natural woodland and a carefully tended vegetable plot with raised beds.

Well-presented throughout, the main entrance at the side leads into a hallway where separate internal doors lead into a cloakroom, a separate dining room or study with bay window and a family lounge with dual aspect windows and a feature wood burning fire place. A further door from the hallway leads into a kitchen dining room with a separate utility and adjoining conservatory garden room that overlooks and opens out to the rear garden. To the first floor, a family bathroom and four bedrooms, the master with an en-suite completes the accommodation.

Surrounded by waterways, open countryside and nature reserves the property affords a peaceful retreat yet is close enough to enjoy easy access to the larger towns including North Walsham and Wroxham, the capital of the Norfolk Broads and home to the Norfolk Broad’s Yacht Club, Roys department and supermarket, riverside cafes and restaurants and schooling for all ages.
