The house has the grandeur and elegance of the Edwardian era but has been completely renovated to suit modern lifestyles.”

A most impressive and recently renovated period home on one of the area’s most desirable roads, it’s easy to see why this property puts a tick in every box and more. There’s an abundance of space, authentic and elegant character features, an immaculate finish, beautiful garden and stunning views over Oulton Broad. As a place to raise a family or for entertaining, this has to be top of the list!

Effortless EleganceDating back to the early 20th century, this home has all the elegance and grace of the Edwardian era, with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, large windows and more. The current owner has put a lot of time into renovating and modernising his home without compromising on the wonderful character throughout and the result is a high-spec property with plenty of luxurious touches, working brilliantly for family life and social occasions alike: “We’ve celebrated summer parties, Christmas dinners, family birthdays and so much more here, creating many memories along the way,” he smiles.

Rooms With A ViewThe reception hall sets the tone for what’s to come, with the attractive staircase rising up and the woodblock floor below. It leads into a study, second sitting room or family room on one side and kitchen on the other, with a magnificent central drawing room flooded with light from the large bay window. Both reception rooms have beautiful period fireplaces. The Aga kitchen is handmade by Smallbone of Devizes. “The kitchen was in keeping with the period in which it was built, so we extended the small dining area by opening it up with a ‘Vale’ orangery to create a lovely bright and spacious dining room with a further wall of Smallbone cabinetry.“ This is a brilliant entertaining space with doors to the terrace beyond, so you can spill out into the garden in summer.” The owner keeps all his tableware in the cabinets here, making it as practical as it is attractive and leaving the kitchen solely dedicated to pans, trays and baking ware. Upstairs, the six bedrooms are spread over two floors, offering great

flexibility if you want a playroom, guest suite, study or hobby room. There’s also a lookout on the third floor from where you can take in breathtaking views over the surrounding area.

Watching Over The WaterThe garden offers a choice of seating and entertaining areas, with a raised terrace to the rear of the house, a thatched summerhouse half way down the garden and a further gazebo by the terrace right next to the water. The garden is long with plenty of room for children to play and it would be easy to secure the lawn and fence off access to the water without spoiling the fabulous views. “Every summer bank holiday they have a fair at the park across the broad and finish with fireworks set off from a pontoon on the water. We have the best view and it’s always a spectacular display that we enjoy. We could sit for hours out here every day watching the changing view and the wildlife,” the owner smiles. “Its as exciting to watch the powerboat racing as it is the cruisers , sailing boats and dinghies, no day is the same, and for enthusiasts or those keen to get involved with the local sailing community, there is the yacht club, directly across the water, and your own mooring and pontoon at the bottom of the garden.”

Best Of Both This is a great location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle but in a place where you can choose to dip in and out as you please. There’s only a handful of houses past here so you have very little passing traffic and total privacy in the house and garden. As this is a holiday destination, you have plenty of amenities nearby, with a choice of places to eat and drink, as well as easy access to the coast, but once summer is over and the holidaymakers have gone home, you’re still part of a thriving community and you can walk to the park, station, schools, shops and more.

“We’re tucked away here but well placed to enjoy the holiday feel in summer and the amenities of an active town.”

“Whether you choose to use this as a hideaway or a social hub, it’s got all you need.”

“It’s a very flexible home that would work just as well for a young family as for those with teens or a sociable retired couple. There’s no work to do, so it’s easy too.”

The outlook is vibrant and colourful all summer, while in winter it’s very calm and can be incredibly dramatic.”

You can enjoy the water as a spectator or participant – even if you don’t have a boat, there’s so much to see.”
