Broomhill, Downham Market, PE38

Not only is this one of the most individual and imposing, detached properties found within Downham Market, it is also a house whereby the possibility of increasing and adding further accommodation is very much a possibility with the inclusion of its adjacent barn and outbuilding. Striking in its appearance and set on grounds of approximately ½ of an acre, 'The Limes' has been occupied by the same family for over 30 years. During their ownership, they have carried out their own extensions and adaptations to produce a comfortable, spacious environment suitable for successful family living. Clearly loved and continuing to produce enjoyment day-to-day, their have been continual improvements made. Running to the the rear of the house, the beautiful, 22ft kitchen/breakfast room has been completely refurbished and cleverly designed to produce a bank of modern units that includes integral appliances, recessed pantry and a central island and breakfast bar with all worktops and surfaces covered with quartz. The open-plan nature of this room is further enhanced by the existence of an adjoining garden/sitting room which sits beneath a raised ceiling, and which enjoys tri-folding doors opening directly onto the rear patio. The generous, remaining living space is of a more traditional style with 2 formal reception rooms being positioned to the front boasting wonderful, large bay windows. In addition, there is an impressive, 25ft living room which features a media wall with contemporary gas fire beneath. Filled with natural light, this room also has folding doors opening to the gardens. There are the practicalities of a separate utility, a cloakroom and even a sizeable cellar leading from downstairs, whilst the middle floor boasts 3 of the bedrooms and family Bathroom. The largest bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and an extremely stylish, refitted en-suite featuring both a basin bath and walk-in shower. The top floor spans over 30ft in length (divided by the stairwell) and provides further bedroom space with an extra area for study or recreation. The external aspects and areas have been equally as well thought out and maintained; two separate entrances give access to an extensive frontage that provides an exceptional level of parking whilst to the rear there are magnificent, private, flourishing open gardens, with large lawns sizeable enough for private relaxation and family/entertaining activities. The substantial outbuildings to the side are currently configured for use as double garaging with stores whilst a large, open games room spans over 30ft in length across the top – an incredible building holding so much potential (dependent upon planning policies) for home working, hobbies, or additional development. A true rarity in terms of its internal and external space, quality, potential. and condition. Early viewing is essential to anyone who is drawn towards this rare and enviable home.
