Executive Detached New Home in Saham Toney

KINGSWOOD

Set within a select collection of individual homes in the Norfolk village of Saham Toney, Kingswood is a substantial new home where generous proportions, traditional materials and a particularly impressive setting come together. Red brick and flint give the house a characterful Norfolk appearance, while its plot of approximately half an acre provides the space and openness that make this feel quite different from a conventional new-build development.

The emphasis inside is very much on comfortable, sociable living. At the rear, the kitchen, dining and family space forms the natural heart of the house, with an island at its centre and almost six metres of sliding doors opening the room towards the garden and countryside beyond.

There is plenty of room for everyday family life and entertaining, while a separate utility room keeps the practical side of the home away from the main living space. A generous sitting room provides somewhere more relaxed and separate, complemented by a dedicated study for those wanting to work from home. The sitting room is also designed around a brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character to an otherwise contemporary new home.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are all genuinely useful rooms rather than simply making up the numbers. The principal bedroom is particularly well considered, combining its own dressing room and en-suite with a Juliet balcony positioned to take advantage of the outlook.

From here, the view reaches across the neighbouring fields towards the distant church, a lovely reminder of the home's rural position. Bedroom two also enjoys its own en-suite, leaving the family bathroom to comfortably serve the remaining bedrooms.

Outside is arguably where Kingswood becomes even more distinctive. The house sits behind a gated driveway with a broad lawned frontage and a mature tree forming a natural focal point. To the rear, another established tree has been retained within the lawn, while a generous Indian sandstone terrace provides an obvious place for outdoor dining and entertaining. The specification includes external lighting, with uplighting to the feature tree adding another dimension after dark.

Parking and garaging are equally generous. In addition to the double garage and cart lodge, the accommodation above creates valuable additional space with plenty of potential for use as a home office, studio or hobby room, subject to any necessary consents. A separate gated entrance to the side provides independent access to the rear garaging, making the arrangement particularly practical for a household with several vehicles.

Kingswood is ultimately a home designed around space, inside and out. With its generous gardens, flexible accommodation, substantial garaging and uninterrupted rural outlook, it combines the individuality and character associated with this small bespoke scheme with the comfort and practicality expected of a thoughtfully designed new home.

SAHAM TONEY

A true sense of community is found at ‘The Old Bell’, a fantastic local pub within the beautiful Norfolk village of Saham Toney. Located in the heart of Breckland, Saham Toney is surrounded by countryside with many enjoyable areas to explore. The village also has a Church of England Primary school.

The Church of St. Georges is a handsome flint building, with beautiful stained-glass windows. The east window of the chancel portrays the Last Supper, this was a gift by the late Rev. W. H. Parker, who restored the whole building at considerable expense in 1864.

A well-used Sports and Social Club offers sports grounds for rugby and cricket matches throughout the year, there is a small bar for members and their guests.

Less than two miles away is the popular market town of Watton, well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.

Just outside the town, Loch Neaton is believed to be England’s only loch, a stunning location to enjoy a relaxing walk or a day spent fishing the waters.

Local legend has it that nearby Wayland Wood is the site of the children’s tale, Babes in the Wood, and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore. Enjoy the cycle trails at nearby Thetford Forest or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.
