Built in 1975, Lakeside is an impressive five-bedroom detached executive residence, privately positioned behind a gated access and set back from the roadside, offering a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining within easy walking distance of the thriving market town of Watton. This substantial family home provides generously proportioned accommodation throughout and has been lovingly maintained to create a warm, welcoming environment perfectly suited to modern family living.
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a dramatic and spacious entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. The flowing layout effortlessly guides you through the property, with the generous sitting room situated to the right. Benefitting from dual-aspect windows, the room is flooded with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the year. During the colder months, the multi-fuel log burner with its attractive oak surround provides a cosy focal point, making this the perfect space to relax and unwind. French doors open directly onto the rear gardens, allowing for seamless indoor and outdoor living.
To the left of the hallway is a comfortable snug, offering a more intimate reception space, which in turn leads through to the formal dining room. This arrangement is ideal for entertaining family and friends or hosting larger gatherings. The flexibility of this section of the property also offers excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, making it particularly attractive for multi-generational living or accommodating visiting guests.
At the heart of the home is the breakfast room and kitchen, a sociable and practical space designed for everyday family life. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cream shaker-style wall and base units, providing ample storage and preparation space. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, under-counter fridge, water softener with dedicated drinking water tap, and a Rangemaster cooker with five-ring hob. The breakfast area provides a relaxed setting for informal dining, while an adjoining utility room offers further convenience for laundry and household tasks. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful cloakroom and a generous pantry store, ensuring there is plenty of space for all household essentials.
The first floor offers exceptionally spacious accommodation with four large double bedrooms, all served by the well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom features a double waterfall shower, vanity wash basin, WC and heated towel rail, finished to a high standard. The impressive principal bedroom benefits from triple built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite comprising a separate shower cubicle, bath, vanity-style wash basin, WC and heated towel rail. Additional storage cupboards throughout the first floor provide excellent space for linens and household items, helping to keep living spaces organised and clutter-free.
Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight of the property and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is beautifully established with mature trees, shrubs and a variety of fruit trees, creating a peaceful and private setting. An Indian sandstone patio provides the perfect space for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery. Keen gardeners will appreciate the greenhouse, additional garden shed and dedicated log store, while the secure and enclosed nature of the gardens makes them ideal for children and pets.
To the front, the property is approached via gates leading onto a shingle driveway that enhances the home's impressive kerb appeal. A separate brick weave driveway provides access to the carport and substantial double garage, offering parking for multiple vehicles as well as workshop space for hobbies or storage. The property also benefits from an EV charging point and access to the control panels for the installed solar energy system, adding both practicality and energy efficiency to this exceptional family home.
Combining generous accommodation, versatile living spaces, mature private gardens and a highly convenient location close to Watton's amenities, Lakeside presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished executive home perfectly suited to modern family life.
