DESCRIPTION

Maple House was purchased in 2007 as a three-bedroom detached house, this exceptional property has since been comprehensively transformed. Between 2017 and 2023, the home underwent extensive renovations and remodelling, including impressive extensions to the front, rear and eastern side, resulting in a beautifully presented five-bedroom detached family residence. During the same period all the windows were replaced. The property has been fully rewired with a new consumer unit, complemented by new guttering and modern radiators throughout.

The spacious entrance hall is finished with luxury vinyl flooring and features bespoke fitted storage with interior lighting, creating a practical yet welcoming first impression, with a well-appointed shower room conveniently located off the hall. To the left, the sitting room has been extended to the front and opened through to the original dining room, forming an impressive and versatile living space with ample room for both relaxing and entertaining. This room is centred around a wood-burning stove, flanked by bespoke fitted cabinetry with subtle backlighting that enhances the warm ambience.

The sitting room flows naturally into the dining area, which in turn opens into the extended open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, all laid with matching luxury vinyl flooring for continuity. The kitchen is modern in style, fitted with built-in cabinetry and a central island incorporating a butler sink and breakfast bar, topped with granite work surfaces. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, wine fridge and under-counter refrigerator, along with a Rangemaster featuring two ovens, grill, plate warmer, electric hotplate and five gas burners, plus there is space and plumbing for an American-style fridge freezer. Bi-fold doors from the kitchen open onto a paved rear terrace, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room with built-in cabinetry, sink and space and plumbing for two laundry appliances, with a further door providing direct access to the rear terrace.

In 2023, the property was extended to the side elevation, with the original garage thoughtfully converted and extended to create two generous double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Both bedrooms enjoy pleasant views over the rear garden, with one further benefiting from French doors that open directly onto the paved terrace, providing an attractive connection to the outdoor space. This extension offers flexibility and could, if desired, be remodelled into a self-contained annexe, ideal for guests or extended family.

The luxurious interior continues on the first floor, where the principal bedroom is enhanced by bespoke fitted wardrobes and drawers inlaid with oak and complemented by subtle back-lighting. There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom fitted with high-quality fixtures, including a roll-top bath, walk-in shower, double wash-hand-basin vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail.

The attic is partially boarded and accessed via a retractable ladder, providing useful additional storage.
__________

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a newly laid driveway framed by an attractive new front wall, providing ample off-road parking and offering the potential for power and automation to be installed for electric gates, if desired. To the rear, a beautifully arranged south-facing garden creates an ideal setting for outdoor living, featuring a tiled terrace with a brick-built pizza oven perfect for alfresco dining. Steps lead up to a raised lawn, complemented by a composite raised deck and a large shed which benefits from power and offers the potential to be connected to the water supply, making this an exceptionally versatile and well-considered outdoor space.

In addition to the garden, the property enjoys access to an extensive network of footpaths and acres of scenic walks, allowing you to explore the surrounding landscape. Not far from the property, you’ll find the renowned Marsham Heath, which adjoins Cawston Heath. This large, interconnected area of heathland, rich in heather, gorse, and woodland, is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area is popular for walking and birdwatching and is located just west of Marsham village.

SITUATION

The village of Marsham is ideally located approximately 11.5 miles north of the historic Cathedral City of Norwich and just 2.5 miles south of the highly sought-after market town of Aylsham. Aylsham offers an excellent range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, along with well-regarded primary and secondary schools, two doctors’ surgeries, sports facilities and a charming steam railway.

Marsham itself lies along the A140 and is surrounded by open countryside, and benefits from a village pub and a restaurant, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike.

The area is particularly well served for education, with a selection of highly regarded state and private schools nearby. These include Gresham’s School in Holt, Beeston Hall in Sheringham, and a variety of day schools in Norwich. Also of note is Windlesham School, a well-regarded state boarding school located just south of the city.

Both the North Norfolk coastline, renowned for its sandy beaches, nature reserves, sailing facilities and seal colonies, and the Norfolk Broads are within easy driving distance, offering outstanding leisure opportunities.

Norwich itself provides a vibrant business and cultural centre, boasting two cathedrals, a historic castle, excellent shopping, and a wide range of leisure facilities including Norwich City Football Club and the Riverside entertainment complex with cinema, restaurants and bars. The city is well connected, with a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street and the expanding Norwich International Airport located just north of the city.
