4 bedroom detached house for sale

Honeysuckle Cottage is one of those rare and remarkable homes—frequently sought after, yet seldom found. Set amidst tranquil countryside, this exceptional property marries period charm with contemporary design to create an expansive and beautifully balanced family residence. The original thatched cottage exudes traditional character, featuring exposed beams and a striking brick fireplace, while the impressive two-storey extension, completed in 2018, introduces modern luxury with open-plan living and a dramatic southwest-facing cantilevered balcony, framed with glass balustrades that invite the surrounding landscape indoors.

Occupying a plot approaching four acres, the property is accessed via electric gates that open onto a sweeping shingle driveway, offering ample off-road parking and privacy. To the rear, a paved terrace flows into an immaculate lawned garden, interwoven with timber walkways and offering spectacular views across the expansive countryside and over the tranquil dykes below. Within the grounds, you’ll find thoughtfully designed additions that enrich outdoor living—a series of greenhouses, a heated swimming pool with adjustable current, a wood-fired sauna with dressing room and raised decking, and an insulated wooden cabin with a multifuel stove, perfect for entertaining, hobbies, or guest accommodation. A separate workshop further enhances the property’s practicality.

The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, giving way to a utility room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a spacious lounge and dining room with French doors leading out to the terrace and garden, ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

The property is cleverly divided into two first-floor wings. In the original section, there are three bedrooms, each with built-in storage, along with a family bathroom. The newer wing offers a stunning principal suite on the ground floor, complete with dressing room, en-suite bath and shower room, and bi-fold doors that open onto the garden. A staircase leads to a serene first-floor lounge, where sliding glass doors open fully to reveal a covered balcony—a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the endless rural views.

Located in the peaceful hamlet of Panxworth, Honeysuckle Cottage offers a sense of escape without compromising on convenience. It lies equidistant from the bustling city of Norwich and the sandy beaches of the East Norfolk coast, both around twenty minutes away. Just ten minutes from the renowned Norfolk Broads capital of Wroxham, and on the edge of the scenic village of South Walsham, the area offers endless opportunities for boating, walking, and wildlife exploration. The nearby Broadland village of Salhouse, less than three miles to the east, provides a range of everyday amenities including a primary school, public house, parks, and Salhouse Lodge.
