Description
Set on the very edge of the ever-popular village of Great Witchingham, this substantial detached family home enjoys a wonderfully private setting within generous grounds approaching three quarters of an acre. Approached via a long, sweeping driveway and framed by mature trees, the property immediately conveys a sense of space, seclusion and opportunity an ideal canvas for those looking to create a bespoke country home.
The house has clearly been a much-loved family home and now presents an exciting project for a new owner. While the accommodation is extensive and well laid out, the property would benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation, allowing buyers to reimagine the interiors to suit contemporary tastes and lifestyles. For those seeking a rewarding renovation, the scale, setting and flexibility on offer here are hard to match.
Extending to approximately 2,554 sq. ft, the accommodation is arranged with family life in mind. The ground floor offers a choice of reception spaces including a sitting room that opens into a conservatory, a separate dining room, garden room and a study ideal for home working. The kitchen sits alongside a utility and breakfast area and is complemented by a ground floor WC. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by two bath/shower rooms, providing ample space for growing families or visiting guests.
Outside, the grounds are a standout feature. The main plot extends to around 0.77 of an acre, offering expansive lawns and a strong sense of privacy, with plenty of scope for landscaping, extensions or outdoor living areas, subject to the necessary consents. A double garage and extensive parking further enhance the practicality of the home.
In addition, there is the rare advantage of a potential building plot of approximately 0.34 of an acre, available by separate negotiation, with outline planning permission for two bungalows offering development potential or long-term investment appeal.
The location strikes a perfect balance between rural living and everyday convenience. Surrounded by countryside walks yet close to the heart of Great Witchingham, the property is well placed for access to Norwich, Reepham, the North Norfolk coast, the A47 and the Broadland Northway.
Packed with potential and set in a truly enviable position, this is a lifestyle opportunity for buyers looking to take on a project and create something special in one of Norfolk’s most desirable village-edge settings.
