A stylishly improved detached village home set within generous, well-established gardens, enjoying a peaceful rural setting in the sought-after village of Fakenham Magna.

Sherwood has been thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, most notably with the creation of an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space extension forming the focal point of the property. This beautifully designed room is flooded with natural light via a roof lantern and wide sliding doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. The kitchen itself is fitted with sleek contemporary units centred around a substantial island, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

The remaining accommodation is well-balanced and immaculately presented throughout. A comfortable sitting room to the front benefits from a large picture window overlooking the gardens, creating a bright and welcoming reception space. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom and separate cloakroom, with the layout ideally suited to both family living or those seeking predominantly single-storey accommodation. A useful utility room provides further practicality. The property also adds great scope and potential to create large first floor accommodation with two dormer windows already in situ.
