4 bed detached house for sale

Fakenham Road, Briston, Melton Constable NR24

Detached 4-Bedroom Family Home

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this stylishly-presented 4-bedroom family home, situated just a short walk from a range of amenities in the popular North Norfolk village of Briston. The property is set back from the road behind a private gated driveway, which provides parking space for several vehicles in front of the house and garage. To the rear, there is a private and neatly maintained garden which adjoins neighbouring farmland on the rear boundary, which creates a stunning view from the windows at the back of the house.

The property has been extended and re-modelled by the current owners, who have periodically refurbished and improved the house over the last decade. This programme of refurbishment includes a first-floor extension (creating a master bedroom with en-suite), the transformation of the original kitchen and dining area into an impressive open-plan space with a full range of integrated appliances (2021), and the addition of a conservatory in 2017. In addition, all doors and windows have been replaced, both inside and out; and a new central heating boiler and new oil tank have been installed within the last five years.
Accommodation

Visitors are welcomed through the recently added timber porch into a useful entrance lobby, which provides plenty of space for coats and shoes. The lobby opens into the hall, from where there are doors to the ground floor cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor landing, with a large under stairs storage cupboard. The cloakroom is also equipped with plumbing/space for a washing machine. Across the hall, the family sitting room serves as a warm and cosy reception space, with an open fireplace providing the main focal point.
At the rear of the ground floor, the impressive kitchen/dining room offers an adaptable and social space, spanning the width of the ground floor and providing generous space for a large dining table with chairs, along with sofas and other furniture. The kitchen, which was installed in 2021, comprises an extensive collection of storage units with plinth heaters, under quartz work surfaces which extend into a breakfast bar. The kitchen is equipped with a range of integrated Bosch appliances, including a double oven, induction hob and a dishwasher. The room enjoys a delightful view over the rear garden and neighbouring countryside, with a window over the sink and a pair of sliding doors leading out to the garden. There are also a pair of double doors leading into the conservatory, which is another well-proportioned and stylishly appointed reception room with doors opening out to the garden.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms arranged around the landing, along with the family shower room. The master bedroom, which was added as part of the extension, provides the best vantage point to enjoy the exceptional views to the rear, along with a luxurious en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both comfortable rooms, whilst bedroom 4 is an ideal child's bedroom or study.
Outside

The property is approached over a gated shingle driveway, which provides parking and turning space for several vehicles, with double doors opening to the garage. Within the front garden there is also a substantial workshop/shed (added in 2021), which is fully equipped with electrical power and lighting. Access at the side of the house leads around to the side entrance canopy, with a door which opens into the kitchen. The rear garden includes a central lawn with planted borders, a paved patio and a timber pergola, which provides the perfect place to enjoy the views over a summer barbecue.
