Howe Lane, Poringland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

An impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family room, an exceptionally large driveway and a generous garden overlooking farmland make this extended home a particularly appealing choice for those seeking space both inside and out.

The driveway makes an immediate impression, providing a substantial amount of off road parking rarely found with a home of this size. Brick pillars and double gates open to a further parking area, offering excellent flexibility for additional vehicles and scope to create a garage or cart lodge, subject to planning permission.

Inside, the open plan kitchen, dining and family room is undoubtedly the centrepiece. The extension has created a substantial living space with room for a large dining table and comfortable seating, allowing family life to come together naturally. Bi-fold doors draw in light and open directly onto the terrace, making the garden and farmland outlook part of the experience of this room.

The Schmidt kitchen complements the space beautifully, combining clean contemporary styling with thoughtfully designed storage, integrated appliances and generous work surfaces. Underfloor heating provides added comfort, while the layout allows the kitchen, dining and seating areas to feel connected without compromising their individual space.

The separate sitting room offers a more intimate atmosphere, providing a cosy place to settle in the evening. The family bathroom has a distinctive contemporary style, adding personality to the accommodation. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off the landing, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite WC.

The garden is another significant attraction. Its extensive lawn provides plenty of space for children to play, with a terrace immediately adjoining the house for outdoor meals and summer evenings. Views across neighbouring farmland give the garden a lovely sense of openness and form an attractive backdrop to the main living accommodation.

Within the grounds, the detached studio provides a useful addition to the home. Insulated and equipped with heating, power, lighting, running water and a WC, it lends itself to a variety of uses, from a dedicated workspace to guest accommodation/fourth bedroom.

Although already extended, the property retains ample scope for further expansion, subject to planning permission, giving buyers the opportunity to adapt it as their needs change. With its impressive living space, extensive parking, countryside outlook and versatile detached studio, this is a home that combines immediate appeal with the flexibility to grow alongside a family’s changing needs.
