An Individual 5-Bedroom Family Home With A Gated Driveway & Double Garage

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Ark House, a beautifully appointed and spacious family home occupying a private plot of around a third of an acre, situated on a quiet country lane in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, adjoining open fields to the north and west. The property, which was built in 1994 and significantly extended in 2020, provides versatile accommodation over two floors, along with landscaped gardens, a detached garage building with accommodation above and a private driveway which is accessed via a pair of electrically operated security gates. The stylishly appointed interior displays a wealth of character, including exposed brick and timber work, which is complemented by expanses of glazing which fill the rooms with natural light. Outside, the private rear garden includes a superb terrace which extends the full width of the property and provides the perfect place to entertain friends and family.

We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain.
Accommodation

A pair of double doors welcome guests into the impressive reception hall, with stairs rising to the first floor. At the front of the property is the cosy triple aspect sitting room, where an open fireplace serves as the main focal point.
The main family reception space is the stunning kitchen/dining/living area, which offers plenty of space for furniture alongside the contemporary fitted kitchen. Following the addition of a substantial extension in 2020, the space now measures almost 40ft in length, with two roof lanterns and a 4.3m opening on the rear wall with retractable glass doors fitted with electric blinds, which open out to the terrace. The high-specification kitchen comprises one wall of full height storage units, including twin neff ovens, a warming drawer and a larder fridge and freezer. The 12ft island with a quartz counter incorporates an integrated 5-ring induction hob with a pop-up extractor hood, a dishwasher and a wine chiller, along with additional storage space and a breakfast bar for several stools.
Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility space and a back kitchen, which also includes a collection of Bosch appliances. From the utility area there is a door into the ground floor cloakroom and the versatile fifth bedroom, which is currently used as a home gymnasium. This part of the house has been designed to be adapted into a self-contained annexe, should it be required.
Upstairs there are four further bedrooms arranged around the spacious galleried landing, which enjoys a sunny east to west orientation and has also been used as a home office area in recent years. All four bedrooms are comfortable double rooms, with the master enjoying the convenience of an en-suite shower room, whilst bedrooms 2,3 and 4 are served by a luxurious 5-piece family bathroom.
In all, the floor area in the house extends to a little over 200 square metres.

Outside & outbuildings
The front of the house is accessed via a gated courtyard with planted areas and a path leading to the front door. Vehicular access to the property is gained through a pair of remotely operated electric gates which open onto a shingle driveway, which in turn leads to the garage in the north-west corner of the plot. The delightful rear gardens are completely private, with the main feature being a large terrace which steps down on to a neatly maintained lawn. Other features include an irrigation system and exterior lighting.
The garage building is another impressive and versatile feature. The original double garage provides generous space for two vehicles, with a pair of electric doors opening to the front. The addition of an oak-framed cart shed to the side of the garage provides covered parking for a third vehicle. Above the garage there is a superb games room which is accessed from an internal staircase. The games room could be used for a wide variety of purposes, including a home office or studio.
Location

The property is situated in the quiet and rural village of Weasenham, where there is a pretty village green and pond, and an active community which is focussed around the village hall, and feeds into the highly regarded Litcham High School nearby. The house is easily accessible for the A1065, which leads directly to the nearby market towns of Fakenham to the north and Swaffham to the south. The neighbouring villages of Great Massingham, Castle Acre and Litcham all offer a wide variety of shops, pubs and other attractions; whilst the beaches of the famous North Norfolk coast can be reached in under half an hour.
