Willow Grove, Fakenham, NR21

2 Willow Grove is a substantial detached high specification family home, built in 2014 by the highly regarded local developers Grocott and Murfit.  Occupying a discreet position within an exclusive private cul-de-sac of just three properties, the house enjoys a tucked away setting on the south eastern outskirts of the thriving market town of Fakenham.

The ground floor offers a superb balance of contemporary style and practical family living, with bright, open and spacious accommodation throughout.  At its heart is a well-appointed open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, complemented by an adjoining utility room.  The principal living space is enhanced by a full wall of bi-fold doors, creating a seamless connection to the extensive raised paved terrace and rear garden beyond.  Additional reception space includes a cosy sitting room centred around an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove, together with a separate study.

The impressive full-height entrance hall creates a striking first impression and features a staircase up to the first floor galleried landing plus access to a cloakroom.  Upstairs, there are four generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, alongside a luxurious family bathroom.

The property has been finished to an excellent standard throughout, with quality fixtures and fittings including aluminium windows and doors, oak internal latch doors, a contemporary fitted kitchen and stylish bathroom suites.  Further highlights include a balcony off the principal bedroom overlooking the rear garden plus a dressing room with air source underfloor heating throughout the property and fireplaces housing wood burning stoves in the sitting room and living area.
