Ranworth 3 Bedroom Detached House

About this Property

An immaculately presented and incredibly versatile detached Broadland residence set in impressive grounds, extending to approximately half an acre, backing onto open fields looking out over the parish church with views to the front over the village moorings leading out onto Malthouse Broad.

Located in the highly regarded and unspoilt village of Ranworth, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation that consists of an entrance porch, entrance hall, reception hall, cloakroom, a beautifully refitted kitchen/dining room finished in solid ash with Bushboard and granite worktops and including an Everhot cast iron electric range cooker. The elevated triple aspect living room includes an open fronted wood burner and there is also a study/bedroom/playroom. The first floor comprises the master bedroom with walk in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and views of the moorings, with two more double bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the accommodation in the main house.

The property also includes a fully self-contained annexe offering accommodation, all on the ground floor, that includes an entrance hall, kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. Finished to an equally high standard and including its own private garden, the annexe offers comfortable accommodation for an elderly relative, but would also be perfectly suited as a well placed holiday let. Alternatively it could be incorporated into the main house creating a substantial 5-6 bedroom residence.

The current owners have taken great care over the extensive programme of improvements that they have carried out, and the property now benefits from a number of features that include new UPVC sealed unit double glazing throughout, fitted in 2015, refitted, contemporary bathrooms/shower rooms, oil fired central heating with a boiler fitted in 2009 and vertical blinds fitted to every window.

The generous south facing grounds are well enclosed and private, whilst backing onto open fields where alpacas are often seen, all in the shadow of the iconic St Helen’s Church (sometimes referred to as the Cathedral of The Broads). There is ample private parking, a garage and a workshop, and the plot is within 150 metres of Malthouse Broad, with the privately run Ranworth Moorings literally at the end of the driveway with rented moorings on offer, subject to availability.

A beautifully maintained property with generous and flexible accommodation set in a sought after location.

Viewing highly recommended.
