Matlaske

Location Matlaske is a pretty, quiet village sitting in the heart of the North Norfolk countryside, five miles south of the coastal town of Sheringham and on the southern side of Barningham Hall. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside with many quaint villages scattered through it. This lovely village is in a conservation area and boasts a pretty church, St Peters, with its 13th Century round tower. Matlaske has its own disused Second World War airfield which ran through agricultural fields now lying behind the house. Many air squadrons resided in the area. Although fondly remembered, hardly anything remains of the airfield. There area many lovely walks to be enjoyed on footpaths in the area. Several fine National Trust properties are within just a few miles.. The village of Aldborough with its traditional village green, around which can be found the Cricketers pub, shop and post office and nearby school and doctor's surgery is merely 3 miles away. 

Description Nestled in a secluded position on a private road serving just seven properties, four in the crescent and three to the rear gardens of those fronting the road, this charming detached house, built in the 1990s, offers a tranquil retreat. The property is enveloped by a mature garden with hedging at the rear that backs open fields. With the added convenience of off-road parking and a garage, this home is practical with good potential to extend and refurbish.

Upon entering through the side porch, you are welcomed into a reception hall. From here there is the option to move into a small study or music area, then through an archway into the inviting sitting room. Alternatively, you can move into the kitchen/dining room featuring a stable door to the front, this creating a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. A ground floor toilet/shower room is an added convenience.

The first floor boasts a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two additional bedrooms, and a family bathroom, ensuring ample space for a family or guests. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows, though it would benefit from some modern updates to truly shine.

This delightful home is ideal for couples or families seeking a peaceful and private lifestyle.
