* 1/2 ACRE of HEAVENLY GARDENS surround this charming DETACHED cottage. Having been sympathetically upgraded and renovated throughout, the property offers IMMACULATELTY presented ELEGANT accommodation with PANORAMIC countryside VIEWS. * The gardens are really something to behold. The mature landscaping has been lovingly crafted into three distinct areas. The gardens immediately surrounding the property have been laid to a quintessential English cottage garden. With a riot of colour provided by a variety of shrubs and flowers arranged around a central lawn with an attractive well stocked pond, this is an example of gardening at it's best. This then leads to the more formal lawned gardens, edged with flowers, plants and trees. This area incorporates the rose garden with a variety of species on display, including an array of climbers covering a symmetrical pair of rose arches. The remainder of the garden is laid to a spectacular BLUEBELL WOOODLAND. This mature woodland comes alive in the springtime, putting on a show of colourful spring favourites, with an array of tulips, daffodils, wood anemone and violets, snowdrops, bluebells and many other spring flowers. There is also a variety of fruit trees including pear, plum, cherry and apple. Nestled within a clearing is the extensive chicken run and house. Further along are two secure timber outbuildings. To the rear is an area previously used for guinea fowl, currently used as a wood store. The property itself is of clay lump with a brick facade to the front elevation, under a pantile roof, with two brick extensions. There are two elegant reception rooms; the dining room which is open plan to the year round conservatory, and the sitting room, which the owners have previously used as a third bedroom. The owners enjoy the beautiful views across the gardens year round from the conservatory. The kitchen has been immaculately re-fitted in a 'Shaker' style and offers many cleverly planned features along with a custom made dresser unit and two eye level fitted ovens, one with microwave. The bathroom offers the luxury of a freestanding roll top bath on claw and ball feet. Upstairs, the master bedroom offers field views and a spacious en-suite. Outside, the property is approached via a five bar gate onto a long driveway offering space to park several vehicles and leading to the detached timber garage. Attached to the garage is a renovated clay lump outbuilding which the owners currently use as a utility/boot room. They find this room useful as a summer kitchen when entertaining in the garden. The plot extends to approximately 1/2 acre in all. LOCATION: The property is situated in an ideal location, within the village of Carleton Rode, bordering the villages of Bunwell and Old Buckenham. The village of Carleton Rode is a rural community which benefits from being within the catchment area for the nearby Old Buckenham High School which has an enviable reputation. The village is served by the school bus. The location lies approximately 6 miles equidistant between the historical market town of Wymondham and the bustling market town of Attleborough. Wymondham offers many amenities, excellent access to Norwich via the A11 dual carriageway and benefits from a large WAITROSE Supermarket. Attleborough offers supermarkets such as SAINSBURY'S and a mix of award winning restaurants, trendy cafe's and eateries, a gallery, and a range of leisure facilities. Situated along the A11 corridor the town is one of the best connected in Norfolk and is well placed to benefit from the duelling of this major LONDON to NORWICH artery. The town also offers a train service to CAMBRIDGE and NORWICH allowing for convenient commuting. The airbus comes through several times daily connecting the town to all major INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS. There is also a fast direct link to London Liverpool Street, from nearby Diss 12.5 miles away, with a journey time of ONE and a HALF HOURS. The race track of SNETTERTON is only a few miles away as is LOTUS CARS. "
