Newlands, 4, Thetford Road, Thetford, IP26 5LS

Newlands is a comfortable five bedroom detached Georgian home of Gault brick construction under a slate roof.

The property is light and airy and offers well-proportioned family-sized accommodation with generous reception rooms that provide excellent living and entertaining space.

Of particular note are both the kitchen/breakfast room and drawing/dining room, which are open plan and offer views over the more formal grounds to the front and the walled orchard garden and terraces to the rear.

On the first floor there are four spacious bedrooms, all benefiting from views over the fields and trees beyond.

The property has undergone an extensive upgrade over the past few years, to include replacing the old sash windows with new double glazed versions, a new septic tank and drainage system, a zoned central heating system with new hot water tank.

There are two recently installed wood burning stoves.

The property is accessed via a private driveway with a turning circle and has a substantial garage that offers plenty of storage and has access from both front and rear gardens.

Newlands is on the outskirts of Northwold, a pretty village a few minutes drive away from a thriving shop, butcher and post office and a popular pub and restaurant in Mundford.

Northwold is approximately 30 minutes from Bury St Edmunds, 40 minutes from Norwich and an easy two and half hour drive to London.

There is a train station 20 minutes away at Downham Market with a good service into Kings Cross. Swaffham is nearby with a Waitrose and farmers markets at weekends.

There are highly regarded schools at Thetford and Culford.

There are some good leisure facilities nearby, including golf clubs, Oxborough Hall and the Water Gardens at Gooderstone; Pensthorpe, Houghton and Holkham are an easy drive northwards towards the coast.
