An Individual 5-Bedroom Family Home In Private Grounds Backing On To The Royal Sandringham EstateThe Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer The Orchards, a unique family home occupying a private and mature plot at the end of a quiet road in Dersingham, backing onto woodland owned by the Royal Sandringham Estate. With miles of countryside walks available from the back of the garden, the property enjoys the most peaceful of settings, whilst the wide range of amenities on offer in the village are also only a short walk away.This substantial property was built by the current owner in 1988 and has been a much loved home for almost forty years. The design of the property draws from Scandinavian influences, with generously sized room proportions, an array of exposed timberwork and large areas of glazing which fill the rooms with natural light and also maximise the delightful views to the rear. The spacious and versatile ground floor living accommodation enjoys a wonderfully warm and social atmosphere, making it the perfect place to entertain guests. The bedrooms are arranged over both floors, with the master room benefitting from the luxury of an en-suite shower room, as well as delightful views of the garden and surrounding woodland.The property occupies a mature plot of around 0.8 acres (stms) and includes a shingle driveway with plenty of parking and turning space in front of the house and garage. To the east of the house there is a well-established vegetable garden, which has been prepared for planting. This leads around to the beautiful south-facing rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn, adjoining paddocks to the east and woodland along the southern boundary; with a gate leading directly out on to one of many footpaths which meander around the woodland. The garden also includes a paved terrace and steps up to an elevated sun deck, which provides exceptional views over the garden and surrounding area.We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain.AccommodationVisitors to The Orchards are welcomed into an impressive entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor landing and a door into the ground floor cloakroom. To the side of the cloakroom there is a spacious ground floor guest bedroom with a shower and hand basin. Across the hall there is a door into the kitchen/breakfast room, which offers an extensive collection of fitted storage units, along with plenty of space for a central dining table. From the kitchen there are doors into the utility/boot room and the home office, which is well-equipped with fitted book cases and shelving.A pair of double doors from the hall lead into the stunning sitting/dining room, which is at the heart of this fantastic home, measuring over 30ft in length and including a number of interesting design features; not least the spiral staircase which leads up to a delightful snug area on a mezzanine platform. The rest of the room has double-storey vaulted ceilings and expanses of glazing on the rear wall which overlook the garden. There is also an open fireplace and a pair of patio doors which open out to a terrace in the garden.Beyond the sitting room, there are two further reception rooms (listed as the home gym and treatment room) which were adapted from part of the original double garage and could be used for any number of purposes. A door from the gym leads into the 24ft x 10ft garage/workshop, which is fully decorated and perfect for storing a classic car or other machinery, with a painted concrete floor and an electrical power supply.Upstairs, there are four further bedrooms arranged around the main landing, along with the neatly appointed family bathroom. The master suite enjoys delightful views over the garden and surrounding woodland, as well as enjoying the luxury of an en-suite shower room with twin hand basins and a large walk-in wardrobe. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are both generous double rooms, whilst the fifth bedroom is a comfortable single room.From the mezzanine level above the sitting room, there is a door into a sun room, which in turn leads out onto a south-facing roof terrace, enjoying elevated views over the garden and surrounding area.Agents noteThe current owners have plans to build a new property in a plot adjoining the north/west boundary to The Orchards.LocationDersingham is a pretty and well-served village, approximately equidistant between the nearby town of Kings Lynn and the popular seaside resort of Hunstanton.
