The Property
Moorlands is an impressive, detached period home, believed to date back to the early 1900s, offering a refined balance of character, space and contemporary living. Set behind a private gated frontage within the Norfolk village of Ashwicken, the property has been thoughtfully extended and carefully upgraded, resulting in a substantial family home that delivers both elegance and practicality in equal measure. With over 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation and the added benefit of no onward chain, this is a home ready to move straight into.
The ground floor accommodation is welcoming and well-proportioned, beginning with a bright entrance hall that sets the tone for the space and flow found throughout the house. A series of reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, ideal for modern family life and entertaining. The sitting room, snug and dining room each enjoy pleasant outlooks across the gardens, creating warm and inviting spaces to relax or host guests. A dedicated study provides a quiet and practical environment for home working or hobbies, positioned away from the main living areas.
At the heart of the home lies an expansive kitchen/dining room, designed as a sociable hub for everyday living. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, the space features a central island, ample storage and direct access to the garden, making it equally suited to informal family meals or larger gatherings. A walk-in pantry, utility room and combined boot room further enhance the functionality of the layout, ensuring that the demands of daily life are well catered for.
The first and second floors accommodate five well-appointed double bedrooms, offering flexibility for families of all sizes or those requiring guest accommodation. The principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, enjoying a spacious dressing room and private en-suite. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate shower room, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout.
Externally
Outside, the property continues to impress. A detached double garage and workshop provide excellent storage and workspace, with a versatile studio, gym or home office positioned above. This space offers exciting potential for a range of uses, including conversion to ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.
The gardens extend to approximately 0.85 acres (sts) and wrap around the house, creating a private and attractive setting. Sweeping lawns, mature planting and established boundaries provide space for recreation, relaxation and outdoor entertaining throughout the seasons.
Ashwicken offers a peaceful village environment while remaining well connected.
