Lifestyle Appeal in Barroway Drove

Beautifully set in the wide-open Norfolk landscape, Palen Lodge offers that rare combination of space, privacy and versatility - a fully renovated, four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow set within a plot of around three acres (STMS) with field views stretching out beyond the garden.

Inside, the house has been designed for easy living and entertaining. The spacious lounge is a welcoming centrepiece, featuring a central brick fireplace with a wood burner, and flowing through to a dedicated dining area before opening into the conservatory, where glazed doors invite you out to the garden and views.

The fitted kitchen enjoys an outlook to the rear and comes with integrated Neff appliances, complemented by a separate utility room for everyday practicality.

The layout is wonderfully flexible. On the ground floor you’ll find a fourth bedroom/study, a cloakroom, and a generous bedroom suite with dressing room and recently renewed en-suite - complete with bath and a double shower cubicle.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to two spacious bedrooms, and a stylish shared bathroom, again recently renovated.

Outside, the lifestyle appeal truly comes into its own. A private shingle driveway provides ample parking, while double gated access to the side leads through to the garage and offers a wealth of further secure parking - ideal for those with a caravan, motorhome or similar.

The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn, embracing that unmistakable big-sky feel, and the owners have created a substantial 19’9m x 4m timber outbuilding on a concrete base, with power, light, water and drainage. Currently utilised as kennels, it also offers exciting potential to be re-purposed as stabling for equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents, or indeed a variety of other uses.

Despite the rural setting, the property sits approximately two miles from the bustling market town of Downham Market, with a wide range of amenities and a rail station with services to London King’s Cross.
