Dunburgh Wood

Unassuming from the gated entrance, this is a home which dreams are made of where woodland escapism lays in wait before the River Waveney gently laps at your toes beyond the private mooring.
Designed to fully make the most of the southerly aspect, the sheer elevation of this home makes for some breath taking views from the wrap around veranda over the acre of gardens and woodland whilst the backdrop of open green space unfolds before you as far as the eye can see.
With so much to covet at every turn, the current owners have elevated what was already an incredibly special home to a whole new level, where rooms have been transformed into spaces for the whole family to enjoy whilst making the most of every last inch of this remarkable plot. Striking an elusive balance between the past and present, the open plan kitchen-dining room space has been designed with flair and panache where mirrored copper tones rest comfortably next to the sleek grey cabinetry, gently highlighting the original wooden flooring underfoot. With vast proportions to entertain the most sociable evenings, the picture window frames the dining area providing the perfect setting to enjoy the ever changing seasonal views, whilst the double doors out to the shaded veranda blurs outside to in where morning coffees and summer suppers become second nature. The sitting room offers a cosier alternative for the quieter nights in and provides the perfect buffer between the ground floor bedroom suite and shower room which also depending on family structure, could serve as annexe potential when you add the utility room into the mix. Before you head upstairs, a games room which was formerly the kitchen leads from the hallway, with the archaic Aga as a reminding feature to the history of this beautiful home.
Upstairs, a practical and linear layout awaits with each and every bedroom designed with that swoon-worthy southerly aspect in mind with some rooms enjoying adjoining doors to the first floor wrap around balcony, an iconic feature to this statement home. But the really special bit is the principal suite, complete with shower room and large closet space, French doors open out to the terrace serving up a real pinch me moment at dawn break.

Outside

Drawing into the sweeping driveway, the acre of grounds which vary from natural woodland to manicured gardens, the tiered plot literally rolls out before you cumulating at the waters edge. Aging mature trees surround the driveway which offers plenty of room to park a number of vehicles and access through to the garage which has been partially converted into a self-contained office space, complete with its own loo.
Bisected by a public footpath, your private mooring rests gently on the banks of the River Waveney, where endless hours can spent exploring the winding water ways before leading towards The Broads National Park.
