6 Bed Detached House For Sale

Karleisha is an impressive substantial new build property offering approximately 11,000 sq/ft over three storeys, sat centrally within a generous plot amongst a rural countryside setting on the edge of the well-served amenity village of Lyng in mid-Norfolk. The property epitomises the permission granted for its construction under paragraph 79 of the National Planning Policy Framework, which allows new dwellings to be built in the countryside if “the design is of exceptional quality, in that it is truly outstanding or innovative, reflecting the highest standards in architecture, and would help to raise standards of design more generally in rural areas; and would significantly enhance its immediate setting, and be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area”.

Inside the property is filled of natural light from the numerous floor to ceiling windows found through the ground floor. The drawing room is a palatial triple height 51’ by 26’ reception space perfect for entertaining or for an indoor swimming pool, with sliding garden doors out to a stunning south facing terrace with pergola. The open plan kitchen dining room is capacious with fitted units and central island under marble worktops, with integrated hob and extractor fan above. In addition there is a spacious entrance hall, utility room, study, guest wc and integrated double garage.

A bespoke staircase leads to an entertainment room located above the drawing room with balcony overlooking the gardens designed by award winning Chris Deakin and the surrounding rolling countryside. On the second floor there are three further double bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms and one with a balcony, as well as a large games room.

Outside, the grounds were designed and landscaped to create a contemporary country garden that creates a flow between the property’s interior with the beautiful rural landscape beyond. There are a number of large linked terraces around the property designed to catch the sun and with their own character that afford different views. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn with native beech hedging to create garden rooms and shelter amongst a wonderfully stocked selection of native and decorative trees.
