A truly rare opportunity to acquire a stunning self-built family home, completed in 1962 and owned by the same family ever since. Set within a beautifully established plot of approximately 0.5 acres (stms), the property occupies a wonderfully private position in what was traditionally known locally as Cherry Pightle — an exceptional garden rich in character, maturity, and wildlife.

Approached via an open frontage, the property offers ample driveway parking leading to an attached garage. To the side of the house lies a formal garden area, providing excellent potential (subject to planning) for additional parking or garaging. The majority of the plot extends to the left and rear of the home, where a remarkable sense of seclusion is enjoyed, creating a peaceful and private setting rarely found so close to the town centre.

The house itself offers enormous scope to renovate, extend, and remodel (subject to the necessary planning permissions), with traditional construction providing a solid and versatile foundation. Upon entering, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone, retaining its original solid wood herringbone parquet flooring and reflecting the character found throughout the home.

The ground floor accommodation is well arranged and generous in scale, comprising a double-aspect sitting room filled with natural light, a kitchen with walk-in pantry, three bedrooms, two shower rooms, and a conservatory enjoying outstanding views across the garden. Each room offers potential to be reimagined while retaining the charm of the original design.

To the first floor is a bespoke loft room, accessed via a fixed open ladder and benefiting from a front-facing window. Further loft space provides additional opportunity for conversion or expansion, enhancing the already impressive potential of the property.

The grounds are truly a gardener’s dream, featuring a striking collection of mature trees including magnolia, monkey puzzle, and fir, alongside sweeping lawns, a kitchen garden area, and a variety of secluded, thoughtfully planted spaces that invite exploration. Despite its tranquil and private setting, the property occupies one of Loddon’s most sought-after locations, within easy walking distance of the town centre.

Totally unique and exceptionally rare, this is a remarkable opportunity to acquire such a private and established haven just moments from the heart of this popular Broadland village. Offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain, it is an ideal prospect for those seeking a long-term family home with the scope to create something truly special.
