Energy-efficient rural bungalow on a very large plot with solar, heat pump and open-plan living.
Open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge with skylights and patio doors
Set in open Norfolk countryside, this linked-detached three-bedroom bungalow combines contemporary eco-credentials with single-storey convenience. The bright, open-plan living space has skylights, a wood burner and patio doors overlooking a very large private plot — excellent for gardeners or anyone wanting outdoor space and countryside views.
Built around eight years ago with high insulation standards, the house benefits from an 8kW solar array, 5kW battery storage, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating with five zones. Owners report very low running costs for much of the year and the property holds an EPC A (103), making it unusually economical for a rural home.
Practical strengths include a carport, ample off-street parking, two sheds, greenhouse and raised beds. Broadband is fast and crime is very low, so the location suits buyers who want rural tranquillity without sacrificing connectivity.
Considerations: the property is in a remoter hamlet, so everyday amenities and shops are a drive away. Several nearby primary schools have mixed Ofsted ratings and you should verify service details and any running costs for electric tariffs. All services and measurements should be independently checked prior to purchase.
