DESCRIPTION

Occupying a secluded plot approaching four acres, Honeysuckle Cottage is an exceptional detached family home that seamlessly combines the charm of a traditional thatched cottage with the space, efficiency and contemporary design of a substantial modern extension. Significantly enhanced in recent years, the property offers versatile accommodation extending to over two floors, together with outstanding leisure facilities and beautifully landscaped grounds, all set against countryside views.

Approached via electric Iroko hardwood gates, a sweeping shingle driveway provides extensive off-road parking and a wonderful sense of arrival. The property enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of Norwich, the Norfolk Broads and the East Norfolk coastline.
__________

GROUND FLOOR

The accommodation is centred around an impressive blend of character and modern living. The original cottage retains exposed beams and a feature brick fireplace, whilst the contemporary extension, completed in 2018, introduces light-filled open-plan spaces with underfloor heating throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a beautifully appointed kitchen fitted with quartz worktops, integrated appliances including three ovens, microwave, fridge freezer and undercounter freezer, and attractive bamboo flooring. A separate utility room, completed in 2017, benefits from an electric Velux roof window with automatic rain sensor.
The spacious sitting and dining room provides an excellent entertaining space, featuring bamboo flooring, a wood-burning stove, bespoke built-in bar and French doors opening directly onto the rear terrace.

The principal bedroom suite occupies the ground floor within the modern extension, creating an impressive private retreat. The bedroom enjoys bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and is complemented by a generous dressing room and luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower.
__________

FIRST FLOOR

The original first floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with built-in storage, together with a family bathroom.

A separate staircase within the extension leads to a stunning first-floor reception room, designed to maximise the spectacular rural outlook. Full-width sliding glazed doors open onto a substantial south-west facing cantilevered balcony with glass balustrades, creating an exceptional space for relaxing or entertaining whilst enjoying the surrounding countryside. Recessed electric blinds further enhance the comfort of the principal suite wing.
__________

OUTSIDE

The grounds are a particular feature of Honeysuckle Cottage, extending to just under four acres and offering a wonderful balance of formal gardens, leisure facilities and open space.

Immediately to the rear of the house, an extensive paved terrace overlooks beautifully maintained lawns with timber walkways leading through the gardens towards the surrounding drainage dykes, which were improved in recent years with piling completed in 2023 and dredging undertaken in 2024.

The impressive leisure complex includes an indoor heated Endless swimming pool with adjustable swimming current and electric cover, together with a beautifully crafted sauna installed in 2023 with inner chamber with benches and wood burning stove incorporating a changing area, covered veranda and generous decking.

A fully insulated detached timber cabin, constructed in 2016, provides superb ancillary accommodation with solid timber flooring, bifold doors and a multi-fuel stove, making it ideal as a home office, studio, gym or entertaining space. A separate workshop and several greenhouses further complement the property's versatility.

The property benefits from an underground LPG heating system installed in 2017, served by a modern LPG boiler, while the original thatched roof was comprehensively re-thatched and re-leaded in 2019. Superfast broadband is also available.
__________

SITUATION

Honeysuckle Cottage occupies an idyllic position within the small rural hamlet of Panxworth, surrounded by some of Broadland's most attractive countryside.

The nearby village of South Walsham offers excellent walking routes and access to the Broads National Park, while Salhouse provides further local amenities including a village shop, public house and primary school. Norwich city centre is approximately twenty minutes away, offering excellent shopping, education and rail connections to London Liverpool Street, whilst the sandy beaches of the East Norfolk coast can also be reached in around twenty minutes, making this an outstanding location for those seeking the very best of both countryside living and coastal accessibility.
