Spacious four-bedroom house with large garden, garage and peaceful countryside views..
Thatched roof re-thatched in 2023, retains original character features
A large, characterful house on the edge of Martham, recently re-thatched (2023) and presented with carefully considered updates throughout. The flexible ground-floor layout gives family-friendly options — three reception rooms plus a space that can serve as a ground-floor bedroom — while three double bedrooms upstairs provide generous sleeping space and countryside views from the main bedroom.
Quality fittings sit alongside traditional detail: a Shaker-style kitchen with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances, parquet and tiled floors, exposed beams and brick fireplaces. The enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn with mature borders, a patio and a raised seating terrace for outdoor living. A detached double garage with power, plumbing, fitted units and a loft room adds useful workspace or home-office potential and strong parking provision on the brick weave driveway.
Practical considerations are straightforward. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; the property currently has an EPC rating of E. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and the cavity walls are recorded with no insulation (assumed), so secondary heating and improvement works should be budgeted for. The house is freehold, sits on a large plot with farmland views and is in a low-crime, well-connected village location close to schools, shops and the Norfolk Broads.
This is a family-sized home with period charm and room to evolve: ideal for buyers seeking character, outdoor space and flexible living. Buyers who prioritise running-cost efficiencies or very fast internet should factor in the likely costs of upgrading heating, insulation and broadband infrastructure.
