About this property

Detailed Description

No.1 The Glebe is an exceptionally appointed detached family home, dating from the 1980s and constructed of red brick elevations beneath a pantile roof. The property has been the subject of considerable improvement by the current owners since ownership began in 2021, who have created a thoughtfully designed and highly individual home in which the internal accommodation is complemented by professionally landscaped gardens of considerable quality and appeal.

The house is approached at the front into a spacious hall which immediately sets the tone and creates a feeling of light and openness. The hall is particularly impressive, and leads through past the cloakroom into the principal reception rooms and the kitchen. The principal rooms have been combined by the removal of internal walls by the current owners to create a more contemporary, open-plan feel. The kitchen, by Howdens with quartz worktops is beautifully appointed with a range of fitted units and quality integrated appliances together with a range cooker.

The principal sitting room is one of two attractive reception room, featuring decorative wall panelling and an open fireplace with a limestone surround. The dining room benefits from an inset drinks cupboard, adding a considered and rather fun detail for entertaining.

The ground floor further provides a snug off the kitchen, offering flexibility for family use or more informal entertaining, together with a generous utility room and cloakroom facilities. Throughout the house, considerable attention has been paid to the finer details, with shutters and attractive blinds which contribute to the overall presentation.

On the first floor there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each offering fitted wardrobes and are served by the family shower room with twin sinks. The principal bedroom enjoys a four piece suite and the views across the associated gardens are a key feature of the whole.
Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with the benefit of a double garage fitted with an electric up-and-over door. Owned solar panels provide an additional practical feature and derive a good return.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property and have been professionally landscaped to create a series of attractive and private spaces. A paved terrace extends around the house and leads down to the gardens where there are many points of interest. The covered pergola is a key feature which overlooks the fish pond and provides a super space for a dining in the warmer months. A detached summer house/games room is positioned across the other side of the garden and benefits from lighting, electricity and water, offering considerable versatility. Around the rear of the summer house leads onto a gate that enjoys direct access into the neighbouring park and cricket club.

The gardens have been designed with considerable care, incorporating deep flower beds, established borders via slatted fence panels and there are a number of specimen trees.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a super house renovated to exacting standards in a very sought-after and popular village close to Norwich.
