Property Description

Discover this beautifully presented and spacious four-bedroom link-detached house in the sought-after village of Elmsett. The property includes an attached single garage, ample off-road parking, and meticulously maintained gardens.

Upon entering, you're welcomed by a hallway with solid oak flooring and a staircase leading to the first floor. The hallway connects to the kitchen/dining room, utility room, study, cloakroom, and a sitting room that features large windows with garden views, French doors opening to the garden, solid oak flooring, and a charming inglenook fireplace.

The kitchen/dining area is flooded with natural light from triple-aspect windows and French doors that open to the rear garden. It features a single bowl sink set into black granite countertops, modern cabinetry, a freestanding range-style oven, space for an American fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher. The solid oak flooring adds a touch of warmth. The utility room, which also opens to the garden, has a sink set into work surfaces with cabinets below, and space for a washing machine and dryer. The study, with its front-facing window and solid oak flooring, offers a quiet retreat for work or reading. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with a WC and wash basin. The ground floor door frames are wider than normal which provides not only a sense of grandeur, but also added convenience for wheel chair accessibility.

Upstairs, the part-galleried landing provides access to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom, with windows to the side and rear, includes an en-suite shower room. The three additional bedrooms are all generously sized. The family bathroom features a contemporary white suite, including a WC, wash basin, bathtub, and shower cubicle. The loft is boarded and has lights, which provides an ideal storage space for those suitcases and Christmas decorations!

Outside, the front driveway offers ample parking and leads to the single garage. A pathway along the side of the house provides access to the rear garden, which is beautifully landscaped with a circular lawn, shingle borders, mature trees, and shrubs. Two paved terraces offer ideal spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation.
