5 bed detached house for sale

West End, Saxlingham Thorpe NR15

Individually designed and built approximately 16 years ago, this property was constructed with great care and attention to detail to maximise space, light, and functionality within the layout. Careful craftsmanship was a priority, with a strong emphasis on using high-quality fixtures and fittings, resulting in a beautifully presented home. The house is of traditional brick and block cavity wall construction under a pitched pantile roof, complete with oak-framed windows and doors. Heating is provided by a modern, energy-efficient air source heat pump (installed in January 2026), with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor. Coupled with solar panels for hot water top up and high insulation levels, this is an exceptionally energy-efficient property designed to reduce both consumption costs and maintenance commitments.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,000 sq ft in total (including the Cart Lodge accommodation), offering versatile living space with well-proportioned rooms. Flooded with natural light and with each room boasting pleasing views over the surrounding countryside. A spacious reception hall creates a welcoming first impression, providing access to the principal ground floor rooms. It features engineered oak flooring and a practical downstairs WC. The main reception room is situated at the front of the house and is bathed in natural light thanks to a triple aspect and showcases an impressive inglenook-style fireplace with an inset cast iron stove and a large oak bressummer beam. The kitchen is a true showstopper, excellently presented with extensive storage space. An archway opens through to the dining room, creating a well-planned, open-plan living area. Completing the ground floor accommodation, there is a bedroom which lends itself to a number of different uses if not required as bedroom, alongside a rear hall and a practical utility room. On the first floor, there are three generously sized bedrooms, all offering stunning elevated views. The family bathroom, also located on this level, is well-equipped and beautifully presented with a white four-piece suite.

Externally, the property is set back from a small country lane, approached via a five-bar gate that opens onto a large shingle driveway providing extensive off-road parking. The driveway continues to the rear of the plot, leading to a spacious workshop and open barn. Upon entry, a triple-bay cart lodge offers separate access to the annex accommodation, which features a kitchen and living room on the ground floor, with a bedroom and shower room situated above. In total, the plot measures approximately one acre.

This property occupies a prime rural position on a generous plot, offering excellent privacy and seclusion. Located in Saxlingham Thorpe, adjacent to Newton Flotman, it is just seven miles from the cathedral city of Norwich, making it an ideal location for commuters. Set within the beautiful mid-Norfolk countryside along the River Tas, the property is conveniently situated four miles north of Long Stratton and three miles south of Mulbarton. Both villages offer supermarkets, schools, pubs, and other daily essentials. Newton Flotman itself retains excellent local amenities, including a school, doctor's surgery, a fine church, and a popular Indian restaurant.
