Occupying a prime position within a highly regarded private setting of just three homes, this architecturally designed detached residence offers a rare combination of contemporary design, exceptional space and uninterrupted rural views.
Constructed in July 2021 as an independent, bespoke build, the property has been carefully designed to create a home that flows effortlessly, with a strong emphasis on open-plan living, natural light and high-quality finishes throughout.
The approach immediately sets the tone. The property sits within a generous plot, enhanced by additional land acquired by the current owners, creating an expansive driveway that provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage. The garage itself has been thoughtfully engineered with a commercial-grade electric door, allowing for a full-width opening without internal supports, comfortably accommodating two vehicles with additional space.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides a welcoming and spacious introduction, setting the standard for the accommodation that follows. The solid oak staircase is a particularly impressive feature! The ground floor has been designed with a seamless layout, with high-quality hard flooring flowing throughout, enhancing both the sense of space and continuity.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive kitchen/dining/family room, perfectly suited to modern living. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, centred around a substantial island with integrated power points, and complemented by high-specification appliances including eye-level double ovens, an induction hob and an American-style fridge freezer. A separate utility room sits discreetly to one side, offering additional practicality without interrupting the flow of the main living space.
The open-plan layout extends naturally into the sitting room, which is subtly set back to create a more intimate space while remaining connected. A contemporary wood burner set against an exposed brick feature wall provides a striking focal point, adding warmth and character. Bi-fold doors open out to the garden, further enhancing the connection between inside and out.
Also positioned off the hallway is a well-proportioned study, ideal for those working from home, enjoying a pleasant outlook. A ground floor WC and useful storage cupboard complete the accommodation at this level.
To the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is served by a modern en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are supported by a luxurious four-piece family shower room. The space has been thoughtfully designed to allow for the reintroduction of a bath if desired, although the current walk-in shower provides a sleek and contemporary finish.
Externally, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Generous in size and backing directly onto open farmland, it offers a high degree of privacy and an exceptional outlook. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Orchard Mead is a small, non-estate setting, offering a sense of exclusivity while remaining conveniently positioned for access into Norwich. Nearby Long Stratton provides a range of everyday amenities, schooling and services, making this an ideal balance between rural living and convenience.
