Luxurious Detached New Home in Drayton, Norwich

HOLKHAM HOUSE

A new and outstanding addition to The Lodge’s evolving collection of homes is this three bedroom detached property, of which there are just three available.

The ground floor is primarily arranged around an open-plan kitchen, dining, living area, separated only by the stepped flooring.

The living area features the bespoke full-wall media unit, whilst the dining area has an over-sized glass lantern above.

The kitchen itself is another key attribute where the Hidden Talents attention to specification and detail speaks volumes – a beautiful space in which to dine and entertain around the spacious central island. Elsewhere the ground floor offers hallway entrance with cloaks cupboard, fabulous utility room, cloakroom and access directly into the integral garage.

On the first floor there is a further reception room with a combined snug and study offering a wonderful evening retreat.

The exterior includes a south-facing garden, framed by elegant brick retaining walls topped with pleached trees to create a peaceful and private outdoors, plus a driveway leading to the garage.

With almost 2,300 sq. ft. of beautiful living space, this particular house type at The Lodge is the perfect blend of eco-led architecture and practicality. The credentials of the build include underfloor heating to ground floors, triple glazed windows and doors, air source heating, and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system, all covered by a ten year warranty, providing complete peace of mind for the most discerning of home buyers.
