4 bed detached house for sale

Howdale Road, Downham Market PE38

Located within the popular Howdale area of the town, this individually designed and constructed, detached home sits back from other houses, enjoying a private plot that extends to over 1/3rd of an acre in size (stms). Much time and thought was applied during its original build, especially toward its layout which has produced a wonderfully flowing, light and particularly versatile formation of rooms. Downstairs, there is a welcoming entrance hall approaching 17ft in width which provides access through to the main reception spaces. Centrally, a beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room is positioned; measuring around 17ft across, this is filled with modern storage units and integral appliances before continuing into the garden room which provides both views over and access to the gardens. As well as leading from the main hall, the separate sitting room also leads through from here via glazed, double opening doors. Currently used as a formal dining room, there is also a downstairs, 4th bedroom which is positioned to the ground floor shower room. Currently concealed, provisions have been made for a doorway to adjoin this room if required, to form an en-suite. Elsewhere, there are the practicalities of a long, 21ft utility, separate cloakroom, and an additional garden room to the side. Upstairs, the galleried landing is large enough to incorporate a study area and from here, the 3 further bedrooms can all be accessed. The largest of these bedrooms measures almost 16ft x 15ft and has several built-in wardrobes to one side. The bathroom that serves these bedrooms is also unique in that it also provides its own vanity/dressing table built in. Outside, a private driveway leads to the property, providing space for multiple vehicles in addition to a tandem garage. The enclosed gardens sweep around the entirety of the house and comprise of lawns, patio, storage and growing areas, and also enjoy a rear view over the former Grammar Schools fields. In addition, there is a further double garage nearer to the rear boundary. A rare opportunity to purchase a distinctive, warm and welcoming home.
