A truly exceptional family home, hidden from the road and occupying a wonderfully private position in the heart of this desirable North Norfolk village.

Tucked away behind electric gates, this remarkable home offers approximately 6,500 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation and has been thoughtfully remodelled and modernised by the current owners to create an outstanding family residence. With its generous proportions, superb entertaining spaces and exceptional attention to detail, this is a home designed equally for everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale.

The property is approached via electric gates which open onto a large private driveway, providing ample parking and leading to a substantial double cart lodge with adjoining boat shed. Above the cart lodge is an impressive large office, which offers considerable versatility and could, subject to any necessary consents, make an exceptional annexe.

The reception accommodation continues with a generous sitting room featuring a handsome fireplace and wood-burning stove, providing a cosy retreat. A formal dining room offers the ideal setting for more special occasions, while a separate snug provides a quieter space to relax. The games room is another particularly impressive addition and would make an ideal party room, children’s play area or space for entertaining friends. A utility room, useful office and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the impressive first-floor landing is far more than simply a circulation space, with a quiet seating area creating a peaceful spot. There are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom suite being a particular highlight. Featuring a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window, the room enjoys magnificent far-reaching views and is complemented by one of the most impressive dressing rooms you are likely to see. His and hers en-suite facilities complete this outstanding principal suite. The guest bedroom is equally impressive, with its own en-suite facilities and a versatile adjoining room currently arranged as a walk-in wardrobe/nursery, offering considerable flexibility depending upon the needs of the next owners. Two further double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with bedroom three also benefiting from an en-suite shower room.

Outside, the beautiful patio provides an exceptional space for entertaining and enjoys an outlook across the substantial lawn and beyond to far-reaching views over the surrounding farmland. An impressive outdoor kitchen creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining, barbecues and long evenings spent with family and friends. There is also a useful storage room to the rear of the cart lodge together with an external shower, an inspired addition for a property so close to the North Norfolk coast and particularly practical after days spent on the beach.

The village is highly regarded, offering an award-winning pub and restaurant within easy reach, while the beautiful coastline is just a few minutes’ drive away. Despite its central village position, the property feels wonderfully private and secluded, with the surrounding countryside providing a peaceful backdrop.

A truly exceptional home offering an outstanding combination of scale, quality, versatility and privacy, with superb entertaining space both inside and out and the added potential of an annexe. A property of this calibre and size is rarely available and viewing is essential to fully appreciate what is on offer.
