Detached family home with generous plot of about 3/4 of an acre in highly desirable location

Description

Occupying a delightful setting within one of Cringleford’s most sought-after residential locations, Kent House, a substantial and characterful family home, offers over 3,300 sq ft of versatile accommodation, set within beautifully established, secluded gardens.

Having been in the same family ownership for nearly 40 years, the property is now being offered for sale for the first time. It offers a rare combination of generous reception space, practical family accommodation and exceptional outdoor surroundings.

Arranged over three floors, the house has been thoughtfully configured to provide a series of well-balanced living spaces, ideally suited to both modern family life and entertaining on a larger scale, with a wonderful flow between the house, terrace and gardens.

About this property
A welcoming reception hall establishes an immediate sense of space and proportion. At the heart of the home lies a spacious kitchen and breakfast room, an excellent social hub with ample space for informal dining and day-to-day family living. A wonderful conservatory, flooded with natural light, enjoys views across the garden and creates a superb year-round reception space, opening directly onto the terrace and garden.

The main living rooms include a double aspect sitting room with working fireplace, a formal dining room with patio doors opening onto the terrace, and a generous snug/TV room. The accommodation also includes a study/office, in-floor wine cellar, pantry, utility room and boot room, together with an entry hall cloakroom/WC.

The broad staircase rises from the reception hall up to the first floor. The generous master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, with views overlooking the gardens. A further bedroom also enjoys garden views, whilst the guest bedroom also has built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom and separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms.

On the second floor, a substantial room extending to approximately 24 ft provides flexible accommodation, with additional attic storage.

Kent House is offered with no onward chain.

Outside
The property is approached via an in-and-out driveway, with plenty of parking and access to the double garage.

Sitting within a plot of about ¾ of an acre, the outside space and maturity is a rare find so close to the city. A paved terrace (with a remote controlled awning) leads onto the main garden, where a sweeping lawn is framed by mature specimen trees, established hedging and planting, providing changing colour through the seasons and an excellent degree of privacy.

The terrace, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, extends to a charming, tranquil hidden garden, opening to the main garden. Beyond the formal garden, screened by trees and hedges, is an established working vegetable garden and apple orchard, with a greenhouse and garden shed.

Kent House and its grounds offer potential. Subject to any necessary planning permissions, there is scope to extend.
