Ashby Road, Thurton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Occupying an attractive corner plot, this impressive and substantially extended four-bedroom detached family home offers generous and versatile accommodation, beautifully presented throughout. Having been thoughtfully improved by both previous and current owners, the property combines contemporary finishes with spacious living areas and a particularly appealing position.

The property is approached via a welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The current owners have undertaken a number of improvements, including predominantly re-skimmed walls and ceilings, contemporary smooth plaster finishes, solid timber internal doors and quality floor coverings, all contributing to the property's attractive and well-maintained presentation.

One of the standout features is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, creating a wonderful sociable space at the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, complemented by attractive wooden work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and space for a substantial range-style cooker. The dining area enjoys excellent natural light, with French doors opening directly onto the garden, making this an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

A particularly useful utility room provides additional storage and practical workspace, with a separate ground floor WC completing the ground floor accommodation.

The spacious sitting room offers a comfortable and inviting reception space, with a large picture window overlooking the front garden and its established specimen trees. A feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point, whilst the generous proportions allow ample room for both family relaxation and entertaining.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from a beautifully refitted contemporary en-suite shower room. The bedroom also enjoys lovely far-reaching views towards open countryside, with fields and horses visible in the distance. The three remaining bedrooms are all of excellent proportions and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with a spa bath and attractive travertine tiling.

Outside, the property occupies a particularly appealing corner plot, with the extent of the gardens and outside space not immediately apparent on first inspection. To the front, an attractive open garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and features established specimen conifer and fir trees, creating a wonderful sense of maturity and privacy.

To the side, a more secluded and relatively low-maintenance garden provides an additional outdoor space to enjoy, featuring attractive paving and a mature tree offering natural shelter and privacy. There is also a useful detached studio, offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses, whether as a home office, hobby room or additional recreational space.

Further benefits include ample off-road parking, a garage, oil-fired central heating and excellent built-in storage throughout.

Combining substantial and versatile accommodation with a thoughtfully improved interior and an attractive corner plot, this is a superbly presented family home offering considerably more than initially meets the eye. With its sociable living space, generous bedrooms and additional detached studio, the property is ideally suited to modern family living.

An impressive home in a particularly appealing setting, which must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
