"

Set within a fine plot approaching a quarter of an acre STS , this superb cottage boasts lovingly curated interiors and a stunning blend of open plan modernity with the timeless elegance of a traditional Norfolk home. The idyllic setting within a highly popular village and the dreamy garden plot create a home which promises a truly fulfilling lifestyle.

The ground floor is awash with natural light, most notably from the extraordinary rear extension, which houses the kitchen dining room beneath a roof lantern and a full run of bi fold doors which usher the wonderful garden into the ambience of the home. A wealth of fine cabinetry fills the space, offering ample storage and generous worktops for entertaining, while guests and family can perch at the sociable breakfast bar island, soaking up the garden views.

In perfect balance to this contemporary space, the sitting room embraces the cottage s traditional roots with exposed timbers and an attractive fireplace housing a wood burning stove.

The first floor is home to three spacious bedrooms, including the impressive principal suite, which boasts extensive built in storage and a well appointed en suite shower room. The two further bedrooms are well served by the central family bathroom.

Among the most noteworthy features of the home is, of course, the plot in which it sits. Approaching a quarter of an acre STS the beautifully balanced grounds complement the cottage, with a large driveway to the front accompanied by the integral garage. To the rear, an oasis of calm awaits; a sprawling sun terrace integrated perfectly with the kitchen dining room which leads out to a generous lawn interspersed with attractive young trees and well stocked flower borders.

HICKLING

The pretty Broadland village of Hickling is well served, with a C of E infant school and pre school in the village, a popular weekly farmer s market, and a Post Office service. There are two churches, two pubs and a village hall offering a wide range of community events, cinema evenings, sporting activities and a gym. There is also mooring available for residents on request. Hickling village is just 3 miles from a blue flag beach, 11 miles from Wroxham and 18 miles from Norwich.

Hickling is situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Norfolk Broads National Park, where sailing, canoeing, and windsurfing are all popular local activities. Hickling Broad nature reserve is a haven for wildlife, with many nature trails, and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust offers a variety of events, guided walks, boat trips and free entry to residents throughout the year. Whilst Hickling Broad is the largest of the Norfolk broads, it remains a well kept secret, and consequently the village retains its tranquil character throughout the year.

Stalham is three miles away and offers a good range of amenities including supermarkets, a doctor s surgery, schools, and various shops, pubs and restaurants.

Around 18 miles away, Norwich s perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city s airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
