4 bed detached house for sale

Greenways Close, Flordon NR15

Some homes reveal themselves the moment you arrive. This one is rather different - from the road, you barely notice it; once inside, it opens up into something quite special.

Tucked quietly behind a mature hedge, you have likely driven past many times without even realising there is a home hidden behind the greenery - but it is there, and well worth a look!

Home to the same family for over 35 years, this chalet-style property has been thoughtfully extended, and meticulously maintained by the owners and now offers four genuine double bedrooms, two on each floor.

It is a layout that gives the house considerable flexibility, whether you're looking for space for a family, regular guests, working from home or simply want the reassurance of having bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor.

This is a home that combines the calm of its rural setting with some very practical modern touches. The solar panels are one of those details that quietly make a difference, helping to generate electricity while reducing day-to-day energy costs.

The entrance is through a useful utility porch, a particularly practical addition for everyday life and somewhere to leave coats, boots and outdoor things before stepping into the main house.

The modern fitted kitchen leads through to a bright and spacious dining room, which feels like the natural hub of the ground floor. From here, the accommodation flows easily into the rest of the house, with two double bedrooms, the conservatory, living room and bathroom all arranged around it.

The living room is a lovely space, particularly because of its triple aspect. Light comes in from several directions. A wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point when the seasons turn and the evenings draw in.

The conservatory takes things in a different direction, providing somewhere to sit surrounded by the garden. With the patio and planting immediately beyond, it is easy to imagine this becoming a favourite spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading or simply watching the garden change through the seasons.

The two ground-floor bedrooms are both doubles, with one benefiting from its own en-suite walk-in shower room. A separate family bathroom completes this level, with a characterful slipper bath providing somewhere to properly unwind.

Upstairs are two further double bedrooms. One has its own en-suite walk-in shower room, and walk-in wardrobe, while the upper windows provide something particularly special - views looking down across the Tas Valley and the surrounding countryside.

And then there is the garden.

It is difficult to overstate just how beautifully this outdoor space has been created. Mature planting, carefully landscaped borders and established greenery create a feeling of being completely removed from the outside world. A fabulous koi pond provides a real focal point, while the patio terrace offers an inviting place to sit and enjoy it all.

And yes, the garden is south facing.

Tucked within the garden is a summer house, complete with hot tub - somewhere to retreat to at the end of the day or make the most of with friends on a summer evening. If you asked the grandchildren, this would be their favourite room in Nanny’s house!

The garden feels private without being hemmed in, with mature hedging providing a natural screen from the village road. It is the sort of garden that rewards time spent outside, whether that's tending the planting, sitting beside the pond, entertaining or simply enjoying the peace.

The driveway leads from Greenways Close to the double garage and generous parking area, which gives the property a slightly unusual sense of arrival - almost as though you have come in through the back. Once inside, though, the house and garden work beautifully together, with the outlook becoming a constant part of everyday life.

What makes this home particularly appealing is that sense of calm. The accommodation is generous and practical, but it is the relationship between the house, the garden and the countryside beyond that really stays with you.

A home that is quietly hidden, beautifully cared for and perhaps best discovered rather than described.

Flordon is one of those small South Norfolk villages where the countryside still feels very much part of everyday life. Quiet and rural in character, it sits just west of the A140, Newton Flotman and Tasburgh, with open farmland, mature hedgerows and Flordon Common adding to its sense of space and connection with the landscape.

There are larger villages and market towns close enough to make everyday life easy. Long Stratton provides a good range of shops, supermarkets, schools and services, while Wymondham offers further amenities, leisure facilities and its railway station. Norwich is also within easy reach, making Flordon a particularly useful base for those wanting a quieter rural setting without feeling cut off.

For anyone who enjoys getting outside, the surrounding Tas Valley countryside offers plenty of opportunities for walking and exploring, while the A140 makes travelling north towards Norwich or south towards Diss straightforward. It's a location that gives you the best of both worlds - a genuinely peaceful village setting, with the practicalities of everyday life never too far away.

The wholly owned solar panels have the benefit of a transferable feed-in tariff (with approx 12 years left to run). The seller has stated that this generates around £2500 of income a year, in addition to any free energy utilised. Statements available on viewings
