4 bed link detached house for sale

Hall Lane, Thornham, Hunstanton, Norfolk PE36

A village home of surprising scale

Description
Walnut Pastures is a property that a simple walk past gives little away to the extent and charm of it all. With a discreet and quiet village position, the property comprises a principal four-bedroom house, a self-contained two storey annexe, and a substantial garage building with self-contained flat above. It provides privacy, and a wonderful flexibility, in a subtle and attractive way.

Upon arrival, into a private parking area, the garage building is the first to greet you under which a walkway leads through to the gardens, house and annexe.

The principal house is an 'L' shaped attractive period home, with distinctive painted cladding, and plenty of windows, giving a light airy feel. Highlights of the ground floor include the spacious open plan kitchen/dining room, over 10.5m long, with bespoke kitchen and large central island, an open fireplace with an Oka distressed painted wood surround, and floor to ceiling windows with glazed doors out to the garden. It is a great space for socialising and family. Off the kitchen is a utility room, with a back door to a spacious courtyard, which has a dog kennel, and access to the garden, and an additional downstairs loo. A large living room is at the opposite end of the house, a cosier room, particularly with the wood burner roaring. It also benefits from glazed doors out to the gardens, so makes for a cool room on a hot summers day. Elsewhere on the ground floor, a snug with built-in bookshelves is another room to relax in. There is also a useful shower room for hosing down children and dogs after a day on the beach.

Upstairs, the charming principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling dual aspect, with en suite bath/shower room. A further three double bedrooms, family bathroom and useful storage complete the floor.

The annexe is a pretty detached building, in a matching style and colour scheme to the principal house. There is a light and airy living space, on the ground floor, comprising of a fitted kitchen and living area, with glazed doors out to the garden, also on the ground floor is a shower room. Stairs up to a mezzanine bedroom. This is a great asset to the house providing guests their own area. It could be used for elderly relatives, or as a holiday cottage yielding an income.

The garage building was purpose built to create a double garage with studio above. The studio is spacious, with a living/bedroom of 6.1m x 6m with Velux windows, a shower room and a kitchen. This is a further string to the flexibility bow of the house, not only providing further accommodation and income potential, but ideal as a work from home space, games room, art or pilates studio. The garaging underneath has good depth at 5.6m, and can house a boat with trailer if required.

The property is accessed off a quiet no-through road, panelled oak wooden gates open on to a parking area for vehicles and boats, in front of the garage. A covered walkway, leads under the studio to a wide gravel path, with the feel of disappearing into your own oasis of calm within the village.

Adjoining the house, with the ideal south to west orientation, is a patio that is a complete suntrap within the garden and perfect for al fresco dining and relaxing. The paving continues alongside the house around to the south. Steps lead up to an expanse of lawn, with mature boundaries of high laurel hedging affording great privacy. It’s a lovely balance of house and garden, with ease of maintenance but space to spread out, with a fine willow tree at the heart of it.
