DESCRIPTION
Built in 1975 and lovingly occupied by the current owners since 1991, this substantial home offers generous and well-planned accommodation throughout. The property is of brick construction under a pantile roof with the windows to the front elevation being triple glazed. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor and the convenience of a ground floor WC. To the left, the impressive living room enjoys a dual south and west-facing aspect, with sliding patio doors opening onto the west-facing terrace, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. An archway leads through to the adjoining dining room, which in turn connects seamlessly to the breakfast room, also accessible from the entrance hall.
The breakfast room flows through an archway into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of built-in cabinetry, integrated double oven, hob and extractor. A large window provides delightful views across the garden. Leading from the breakfast room is a well-equipped utility room with built-in cupboards, sink, plumbing for two appliances, and ample space for additional domestic appliances. From the utility room a door provides internal access to the integral double garage. A practical boot room opens directly onto the rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation, a door from the kitchen leads into the garden room/snug — a peaceful and inviting space ideal for relaxing, reading, or enjoying views of the garden throughout the seasons.
The staircase rises to a spacious first-floor landing, providing access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys generous proportions with pleasant views over the surrounding gardens and countryside, and benefits from its own en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are all well sized and versatile, ideal for family living, guests, or home working, and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the first floor, the layout offers flexibility and natural light, with windows framing attractive views across the gardens and open countryside beyond. From the landing there is access to an airing cupboard and a partially boarded loft space via a retractable ladder, providing useful additional storage.
__________
OUTSIDE
A gated entrance opens onto a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to both a double garage and a single garage. The gardens and grounds are fully enclosed, offering privacy, security, and a dog-friendly environment, ideal for both relaxation and outdoor living.
Set within approximately 1.9 acres, the beautifully established grounds are a particular highlight, featuring mature specimen trees, raised beds, established hedging, an orchard of fruit trees including apple, pear, quince, and plum, a charming garden pond, together with a summer house and greenhouse.
The polycarbonate pool house, enclosing the swimming pool, offers a unique opportunity to reimagine and reinstate a striking outdoor leisure facility. While both would benefit from attentive maintenance, the existing structure provides a strong foundation for creating a bespoke pool and entertaining space. The pool house is currently arranged with two changing cubicles, a shower room, WC, and a small kitchen, offering excellent scope for enhancement.
__________
SITUATION
Set in a beautifully rural position yet unexpectedly close to the city, this location offers the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquillity. The property enjoys open, rolling countryside views to both the front and rear, creating a peaceful setting with a strong sense of space and privacy.
Located in the sought-after village of Little Melton, just south-west of Norwich, the area is well known for combining countryside living with excellent connectivity. The A47 Southern Bypass and A11 are easily accessible, providing convenient routes to Norwich city centre, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and the University of East Anglia.
Little Melton has a thriving village community and a good range of local amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, village pub, local shop, and garage. A Sainsbury’s superstore is also close by, just off the A47, along with several well-regarded country pubs and restaurants.
The village is particularly popular with families and professionals, especially those working in education and healthcare, thanks to its combination of rural surroundings, strong community spirit, and excellent transport links.
