Bears Grove, Salhouse, Norwich, Norfolk, NR13

Charming, stylish cottage set within wooded grounds.

Description

Bears Grove Cottage is a stylish period home, privately situated and enjoying both excellent transport links and picturesque countryside views. Offering generous family-sized accommodation with potential for multi-generational living, this property makes an exceptional family home.

Originally two cottages, the house has been thoughtfully remodelled and extended to create a substantial residence. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive renovation, resulting in a characterful yet contemporary home that truly must be seen to be appreciated.

The ground floor features an entrance hall that opens into an impressive open-plan living space, currently arranged as a sitting room and dining area. This space is enhanced by bespoke bookshelves and cabinetry, and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden. The kitchen, with painted wooden units and Corian work surfaces, forms the heart of the home. A further reception room with a feature fireplace and wood burner adds to the generous living space. A practical utility room, cloakroom, and rear lobby complete the ground floor, with internal access to the integral double garage.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, including the principal suite which benefits from an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are located in a separate wing, accessed via an additional staircase, making them ideal for guest accommodation or independent living.

Outside
The property is approached via double electronic gates leading to a spacious driveway with ample off-road parking and access to the integral double garage. Set within grounds of approximately half an acre, the home enjoys a high degree of privacy thanks to its wooded surroundings. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by an expansive patio terrace that provides a delightful space for outdoor entertaining. Mature planted beds, shrubs, and trees add depth and character to the plot, while views over neighbouring farmland enhance the sense of space.
A detached games room within the grounds offers flexible use as a home office, cinema room, or golf simulator, as currently configured. Additionally, a wooden workshop provides convenient storage for garden equipment.
