Description
Ref DH0707 - This substantial and characterful village home offers generous and flexible accommodation arranged across two floors, set within approximately 0.5 acres (stms) and enjoying open views across neighbouring farmland. The property combines period character with well-proportioned rooms and a layout that feels both practical and inviting, all within the well-regarded Norfolk village of Bawdeswell.
Stepping Inside…
The ground floor is defined by its sense of space, with a series of reception rooms each extending to over 20 ft in length. The main living room features exposed beams and an inglenook-style fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a strong focal point, while a further reception room provides equally generous additional living space. A separate study or sitting room sits to the front of the house, alongside an office, WC and a substantial shower room.
The ground floor shower room measures approximately 14 ft and is fitted with a walk-in, wall-to-wall shower enclosure. Fully tiled and finished with contemporary fittings, it feels both spacious and well considered, providing excellent everyday practicality without compromising on finish.
There is also the utility area and access to the garage or storage space.
Heading Upstairs…
The first floor centres around a spacious kitchen and dining room, finished with a range of fitted units, extensive worktop space and a central island that anchors the room naturally. The elevated position allows for open views across the surrounding countryside, bringing light and a sense of outlook into the heart of the home.
Bedroom accommodation is also arranged on the first floor, with bedrooms of good proportion across this level. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite fitted with a four-piece suite, including a rolled-top bath on clawed feet, alongside a separate shower, basin and WC.
The Plot…
The property occupies approximately 0.5 acres (stms), with gardens extending around the house and bordering open farmland. The grounds provide a combination of open lawn, space for entertaining and ample off-road parking, all framed by the rural outlook that defines the setting.
