Elegant Detached Home in Saham Toney

Set within an exclusive development of just four distinguished residences, 1 Hillside Mews stands as a remarkable example of timeless architecture meeting contemporary living. This handsome, detached family home enjoys a commanding position on a generous plot, surrounded by wraparound gardens adorned with mature trees, structured hedging and thoughtfully planted borders, offering a sense of refinement, privacy and calm from the moment of arrival.

An open porch leads into a home where scale and elegance are immediately evident. The grand entrance hall, framed by a striking staircase, sets the tone for a property that has been designed to impress yet carefully tailored for everyday life. Vaulted ceilings and light-filled spaces provide a sense of volume and ease, while the considered layout ensures a seamless balance between sociable open-plan areas and quiet, more intimate rooms.

The ground floor offers a remarkable degree of versatility with four principal reception rooms. Whether hosting formal dinners, enjoying fireside evenings, creating a productive home office or providing teenagers with their own space to unwind, the design effortlessly accommodates changing rhythms and lifestyles. Each room carries its own character, unified by quality finishes and an innate sense of flow throughout the property.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed kitchen, the centrepiece of which is an exceptional Rangemaster oven and stove — a fitting anchor for both everyday meals and culinary occasions. Finished to an exacting standard, the space includes a breakfast bar for informal dining and is enhanced by modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and views across the gardens.

Upstairs, the feeling of scale continues. Four generously proportioned double bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests alike. The principal suite offers a touch of indulgence, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite complete with freestanding bath and large walk-in shower — a luxurious private retreat at the end of each day.

Further enhancing the home’s flexibility is a substantial double garage. Beyond providing secure parking and storage, the first floor above presents an outstanding opportunity — a space ripe for conversion into a dedicated studio, office, gym or creative retreat, fully in keeping with the demands of modern life.

Externally, the gardens envelop the home in established greenery, creating a tranquil setting ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. From morning coffee on the patio to larger gatherings under the summer sun, the outdoor space offers both beauty and utility.

Saham Toney, with its strong sense of community, attractive village core and ease of access to the wider Norfolk landscape, makes the setting all the more compelling. Whether looking to upsize, relocate or secure a long-term home of substance and elegance, 1 Hillside Mews delivers a rare combination: architectural presence, lifestyle flexibility and enduring quality.

This is a home that will speak to those who value craftsmanship, space and the promise of a beautifully balanced future.

SAHAM TONEY
A true sense of community is found at ‘The Old Bell’, a fantastic local pub within the beautiful Norfolk village of Saham Toney. Located in the heart of Breckland, Saham Toney is surrounded by countryside with many enjoyable areas to explore. The village also has a Church of England Primary school.

The Church of St. Georges is a handsome flint building, with beautiful stained-glass windows. The east window of the chancel portrays the Last Supper, this was a gift by the late Rev. W. H. Parker, who restored the whole building at considerable expense in 1864.

A well-used Sports and Social Club offers sports grounds for rugby and cricket matches throughout the year, there is a small bar for members and their guests.

Less than two miles away is the popular market town of Watton, 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, 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.
