Leeders Pightle, Binham, NR21

Oystercatcher is a superb detached family house built circa 2020 on an exclusive development in the popular village of Binham in the heart of rural north Norfolk just 4 miles from the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea.  The property is situated on the edge of the development backing onto farmland with fine far reaching views from the upstairs rooms over neighbouring countryside towards the sea beyond.  Set back from the cul de sac behind a small walled front garden, the property has an attractively landscaped garden to the rear with a garage, car port and additional parking space.

The accommodation is laid out over 3 storeys and beautifully presented in neutral tones with high quality fixtures and fittings.  To the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to an impressive partly vaulted open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a separate utility, cloakroom and an en suite bedroom.  The first floor sitting room is galleried to the living space below with an exposed flue wood burning stove and the principal bedroom across the landing with a dressing room and en suite shower room.  There are 2 further double bedrooms to the second floor and a family bathroom.

Further benefits include LPG-fired underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators upstairs, double glazed sash windows and the remainder of a 10 year NHBC warranty.  Please note that there is a modest annual service charge payable (£36.28 in 2022/23) which covers communal grounds maintenance. 

Binham is a most attractive, historical village with its atmospheric Benedictine Priory ruins. Many of the village's cottages were built with stones from the ruins and, today, the Priory hosts summer concerts which make the most of the amazing acoustics. The village has village stores, petrol station, village hall, newly opened cafe, The Parlour, and a popular inn, The Chequers.

The towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Holt and Fakenham are in close proximity and the Cathedral city of Norwich is also within easy motoring distance. Wells-next-the-Sea, a Georgian seaside town, is some 4 miles away and has many amenities and leisure activities on offer in the town or close by in the neighbouring coastal villages including, sailing, bird watching, walking, first class accommodation and restaurants, nursery, primary and secondary schools, doctor's surgery and a full range of shops.

4 miles to the east, the Georgian market town of Holt offers an amazing array of independent shops and businesses, art galleries, cafes and pubs and the Auden Theatre which hosts a wide array of different productions throughout the year. Holt is also home to the well respected Gresham's independent school.

The development has its own private sewage system and LPG gas supply.  The property has mains electricity and water with LPG-fired underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators upstairs. EPC Rating Band C.
