This established, non-estate bungalow provides space for a family or a couple looking to downsize into the area. The property is located on Saham Road, heading out of the historic market town of Watton towards the highly regarded village of Saham Toney. Positioned along from the Golf Club, the property offers the convenience of direct access to amenities without compromising on location.
This 1950s detached bungalow has been extended and has benefitted from a series of improvements, now extending to an impressive 1,736 sq. ft. Upon entering onto a block weave carriage driveway, there's space for ample parking and access to the single garage, which is fitted with latched doors and benefits from integral access into the utility room, ideal for bringing the shopping in.
On entering the property through a glazed porch,the central hallway draws you through to the impressive open-plan family room to the rear, which makes the perfect place to sit in during the day, overlooking the established gardens and with patio doors opening out onto the patio. To one end of the space, the newly updated kitchen features a range of integral appliances and a central island with breakfast bar. Additionally, there is enough space for a good-sized dining table, making this the perfect place not only to enjoy during the day but for entertaining and hosting dinner parties.
At the front of the home, the sitting room, with its bay window, provides an ideal space to retreat to in the evenings.
All three bedrooms are good sized doubles. The third bedroom is currently used as the vendor's study, offering the opportunity to work from home if required. In addition, there is a summerhouse which also could offer an ideal space for an office or studio. Both the bathroom and en-suite shower room are finished to a high standard, with the bathroom being flooded with natural light from the skylight.
The generous gardens have been well thought out and cared for by the vendors, ensuring a delightful space. Upon entering the rear garden, you're immediately greeted by a generous patio, perfect for enjoying time together throughout the summer months. Steps down lead to an expansive lawn which draws the eye outwards and features a range of storage outbuildings and a pond.
WATTON Providing plenty of country homes with room to grow, plus an ample share of equestrian properties, the popular market town of Watton has a strong rural community, which comes together each year for the annual Wayland Show, one of England's oldest agricultural shows.
Located in the heart of Breckland, the town is well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.
Just outside the town, Loch Neaton is believed to be England's only loch. In 1875, Scottish railway workers excavated land to establish a new railway from Thetford to Watton and the site filled with water from the River Wissey, forming a lake. A group of Victorian entrepreneurs saw the potential to develop this picturesque spot into a pleasure garden with woodland trails, boats, a bandstand and even winter ice skating. Although the attractions are long gone, the loch is still a stunning location to enjoy a relaxing walk or a day spent fishing the waters.
Local legend has it that nearby Wayland Wood is the site of the children's tale, Babes in the Wood, and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore. Enjoy the cycle trails at nearby Thetford Forest or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.
Well-exercised, there are several good pubs serving real ales and good grub to recharge your energy - try The Willow House, The Waggon & Horses in nearby Griston or The Old Bell at Saham Toney, north of Watton.
With its many historic and stunning natural landmarks, plus a superb range of properties to discover, Watton is a jewel in Norfolk's rural crown.
