Situated in Forncett St Peter, the property is ideally placed for those wanting to enjoy village surroundings and access to the countryside, whilst being within walking distance of the well-known Jolly Farmers restaurant and pub. The surrounding villages and nearby countryside also provide opportunities for scenic walks and enjoying the Norfolk landscapes.
The property is approached via a fully enclosed and fenced shingle driveway, providing both privacy and useful off-road parking. The enclosed frontage creates a private approach and provides a pleasant first impression with a pathway leading to the front and main entrance. Stepping through the front door, you enter directly into the kitchen, creating an immediate sense of practicality with a double aspect and views straight through to the living accommodation, creating a sense of flow and space. The kitchen has been arranged with a range of matching wall and base units, providing useful storage and preparation space, with space for a fridge and cooker, whilst the sink is positioned beneath the window, allowing natural light into the working area whilst retaining the potential for the next owners to add their own finishing touches over time.
From the kitchen, the accommodation flows through towards the recently renovated bathroom. The bathroom has been recently renovated and provides a modern and practical suite, comprising a bath with electric shower over, complemented by a glass shower screen. Tiled walls create a clean and practical finish, with a sink with storage below and a toilet completing the accommodation.
The true heart of the property is the recently extended living/dining room, which provides a fantastic amount of additional living space. The extension has transformed the main reception area into a generous room capable of accommodating both a comfortable lounge arrangement and a substantial dining area. There is ample space for sofas, armchairs, and occasional furniture, creating a welcoming environment in which to relax and unwind. A wood-burning stove provides a beautiful focal point and brings a cosy feel to the room, making this an inviting space during the colder months. The room also benefits from a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs, providing valuable additional household storage without compromising the main living space.

The extended layout provides plenty of room for a dedicated dining table, making this an excellent space for family meals, entertaining guests or enjoying relaxed dinners at home. At the rear of the living space, double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a fantastic connection between the inside and outside areas. During the warmer months, these doors can be opened to allow the garden to become a natural extension of the living space, whilst the views towards the garden bring an attractive sense of openness into the room.

Ascending to the first floor, the property benefits from an open landing, providing access to both bedrooms. An airing cupboard is also positioned on the landing, offering useful storage access to the loft via hatch and is a useful area for additional storage and furniture whilst also being versatile to your needs. The first-floor accommodation has been arranged to provide two bedrooms with distinct positions within the property, making the layout particularly practical for couples, small families or those requiring a home office or nursery.

The master bedroom is a well-sized double bedroom, positioned towards the rear of the property, creating a space to relax and unwind. The generous proportions provide plenty of room for a double bed and accompanying bedroom furniture, whilst retaining additional space for further storage if required.

The second bedroom is positioned towards the front of the home and is currently utilised as a nursery. The room provides flexibility for the next owners and could continue as a nursery or children’s bedroom, or alternatively be used as a guest room, dressing room, home office or hobby space. The ability to adapt the room depending upon the household’s requirements adds to the overall versatility of the property.
