Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this generously sized family home, occupying a pleasantly peaceful position on a small residential development in the sought after village of North Elmham. Having been significantly extended by the current owners, this property now provides well over 1,500 square feet of internal floor space, as well as an integral garage. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch, hall, sitting room with wood burner, a versatile second reception room (listed as the snug) also with a wood burner, dining room which is open-plan to the kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor; with four bedrooms, master en-suite and family shower room on the first floor. The kitchen/dining area is a stand-out feature, having been recently refurbished with a range of integrated NEFF appliances and granite work surfaces. The master bedroom suite has an independent staircase rising from the snug, effectively creating the flexibility to make that side of the house entirely self-contained. Outside, there is off-road parking in front of the property with a private lawn at the rear.  

NORTH ELMHAM North Elmham lies on the west bank of the River Wensum with its Medieval church of St Mary, which stands on the grounds of the old cathedral and the ruins of the Bishops Chapel close by. There is a primary school, pub and a railway station serviced by the Mid Norfolk Railway. Dereham is approximately five miles away, a busy market town, with a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. There is also a golf course, swimming pool, secondary schools, hospital and a cinema.
