3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Located in Toftwood, which makes up part of the historic market town of Dereham, is this lovely three-bedroom detached family home.

At the front of the property there is a large brick-weaved driveway with enough parking for several cars.

Entering the property through the front door and you arrive into a warm and welcoming hallway of which the two primary living spaces stem from.

To the right side of the property is a well-proportioned sitting room stretching the entire length of the home. This room is not only dual aspect, allowing it to be filled with natural light, but it has a log burner which adds to the cosy atmosphere, making it a great place to come home to after a hard day's work.

The kitchen/dining room, which is the true heart of the home, is a large open-plan space with the central focus of the room being on the large island which entices guests towards it to gather, drink and chat. Just off this area is what is currently being used as a home office but would work very well as the separate family dining room.

The utility room also stems off the kitchen and lows nicely in to the garage, which could easily be converted in to extra living accommodation, if one needs, subject to relevant planning.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and the principal bedroom has its own private en-suite, whilst the other two rooms share the family bathroom.

Outside we find an entertainer's dream of a garden. It has a brick built barbecue area, similar to those found on a Greek island, a summer house, which is currently affectionately used as the home pub, and a further area to sit, relax and enjoy.  

TOFTWOOD Nestled in the Brecklands, in the heart of the county, Toftwood is a locality within Dereham - a classic country market town and an architectural haven with plenty of Georgian gems set on generous plots, blended with more recent developments.

Toftwood itself has its own doctors, primary school, social club, post office and shop, making it an area with everything you need. However, with Dereham so incredibly close it means you're well-connected but in a quieter location.

In the eighth century, it is said that the youngest daughter of Anna, King of East Anglia, prayed for a miracle during a famine and two deer appeared every day to provide milk for the nunnery she had founded. When a huntsman tried to snare the deer, he was thrown from his horse - believed to be an act of divine retribution - and killed. The hunt is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street.

Today, a twice weekly market, on Tuesdays and Fridays, along with a strong cohort of independent and specialist shops and free parking make the town a fabulous place for an afternoon spent browsing. Look out for the town's other historic landmarks which include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage line which runs 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed building which was saved from the brink of destruction, and Bishop Bonner's Cottage, established in 1502 and believed to be the oldest building in town.

Heritage buffs are spoilt for choice with living museum Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse just a few minutes out of town, or step back in time and adventure at Castle Acre Castle and Priory, an 11th century monastic site, and National Trust property Oxburgh Hall, which is half an hour's drive away.

When you've worked up an appetite exploring, spice things up with a tasty dish at Spice Fusion curry house or head to The George Hotel, Bar and Restaurant which offers excellent accommodation, freshly cooked food and award winning ales, wines, beers and spirits . Brisley, 6.5 miles away, is home to one of Norfolk's best pubs, The Brisley Bell, with a first-rate menu and a warm welcome which has earned it multiple awards. Otherwise head to The Old Dairy in Stanfield and stock up on its artisan bread and produce for an easy dine-in experience.

With good local schools, a leisure centre and golf course, Dereham and its surrounding villages are a fantastic spot to enjoy the best of Norfolk country living with easy commuting access to Norwich and the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, just 22 miles away. Come discover a Norfolk gem.
