Occupying a peaceful position within the charming North Norfolk village of Wickmere, this attractive brick and flint detached home enjoys a wonderful balance of period character and modern family living. Beautifully maintained throughout, the property offers versatile accommodation extending to three double bedrooms, complemented by generous gardens, countryside views and excellent outside space.
Approached through a traditional five bar gate, the property immediately conveys its rural charm. A shingled driveway provides ample parking and leads to an impressive oak framed cart lodge with adjoining workshop, while the mature gardens wrap around the house, creating a delightful setting with lawns, productive vegetable beds, fruit trees and areas to relax and entertain.
The welcoming entrance hall features a striking vaulted ceiling, setting the tone for the character found throughout the home. At the heart of the property is the superb open plan kitchen and family room, thoughtfully designed to create a sociable and practical living space. Norfolk pamment flooring, parquet flooring, granite work surfaces, a butler sink and a wood burning stove combine to create a room that is both stylish and full of warmth. The adjoining family area offers an inviting space for everyday living, centred around the stove and complemented by bespoke storage.
The separate sitting room is a particularly charming reception space, flooded with natural light from windows on three elevations. Exposed brickwork and a second wood burning stove create a cosy atmosphere, while the room enjoys attractive views across the surrounding gardens.
The ground floor also benefits from a useful utility room and a well appointed shower room.
The first floor is arranged over split landings which includes a useful space which would be a perfect office and could also accommodate a bed, adding to the property`s individuality and charm. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook with views across neighbouring countryside, whilst the remaining two double bedrooms are served by a beautifully presented family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. A spacious landing area has been cleverly utilised as an additional sitting or reading space, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the surrounding fields.
Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of the property. Carefully landscaped and lovingly maintained, they offer a combination of lawned areas, productive raised vegetable beds, fruit trees and established planting and very useful potting shed. The substantial oak cart lodge provides covered parking and has been adapted by the current owners as a wonderful outdoor entertaining area, ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings throughout the seasons.
