Harmony estate agents are delighted to offer Whispering Beeches. An exceptional, family-focused four/five-bedroom detached and extended bungalow, thoughtfully designed to offer generous space, privacy and highly versatile living. Occupying a substantial plot within the desirable village of Bawburgh, this impressive home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property that combines flexible accommodation, extensive parking and superb outbuildings, all while enjoying outstanding privacy, open field views and a wonderful sense of space that is immediately apparent upon arrival. Despite its setting, the property remains conveniently close to local amenities and access to the A47.
Set back from the road, the home is approached via a gated driveway, creating a sense of exclusivity and security. The driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles across the side and front of the property, including space for a motorhome if your lifestyle requires, and is complemented by three garages, all with electric roller doors, along with a range of additional outbuildings, offering exceptional storage or workshop and hobby space. Positioned to the rear of the grounds is a well-proportioned summer house, complete with water, electricity and a wood burner, presenting exciting potential for multi-generational living, a home office or studio, or a teenage retreat.
The bungalow itself is arranged in an attractive and balanced U-shaped design, creating a pleasing symmetry and strong kerb appeal. To the front, a decorative paved courtyard is framed by planted flower beds and steps leading to the front door. Opposite are raised timber sleeper borders, creating a welcoming sense of arrival, while views across the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed to the front and side. Gated side access on both sides leads to the wrap-around gardens, with a shingle driveway and additional storage area located to the left-hand side. The property further benefits from oil-fired central heating, double-glazed windows and doors, underfloor heating to the open-plan living areas, radiators throughout the remainder of the home, solar panels, a cesspit for drainage, an EV charging point and CCTV.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a spacious and light-filled entrance hall which immediately sets the tone for the generous accommodation throughout and effortlessly connects the home's living and sleeping areas. To the left are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying excellent natural light and ample space for freestanding furniture, creating calm and comfortable retreats for children, family members or guests. These bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, featuring a shower over bath with tiled walls, a wall-hung vanity unit with storage, an illuminated mirror, a WC and a heated towel radiator, along with two storage cupboards in the hall.
Through glazed double doors, the right-hand side of the property opens into a breathtaking open-plan living space, designed to form the heart of the home with modern family living firmly in mind. This impressive room has been cleverly zoned to create flexible yet cosy areas, allowing family and friends to come together to cook, dine and relax around the wood-burning stove. Floor-to-ceiling, triple-aspect display windows flood the space with natural light and frame uninterrupted views across the garden, while double doors open directly onto a large patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
There is ample space for a large dining table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with sleek cabinetry, quartz worktops, two mid-height ovens, an integrated under-counter fridge and dishwasher, an induction hob with recessed overhead extractor, and a sink positioned beneath the window overlooking the garden. A breakfast bar with seating further enhances the sociable layout and reinforces this room as a true hub of the home. An additional utility room is found off this room and offers further plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as additional space for a freestanding American-style fridge and freezer, adding everyday practicality, along with direct garden access via the back door, ideal for children, pets and muddy boots, while a separate WC provides further convenience.
Directly ahead from the entrance hall lies a highly functional and practical section of the home, comprising a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, fitted units and worktop space to keep household chores neatly organised, a study, and the impressive master bedroom suite. The study is a particularly versatile room and could easily function as a fifth bedroom should a buyer require additional accommodation. The master suite is a true standout feature and has been thoughtfully designed as a relaxing sanctuary. Enjoying a dual aspect outlook, it benefits from a walk-in wardrobe fitted with hanging rails and drawers, and a luxurious en-suite finished to a hotel-inspired standard. This beautifully appointed space features a freestanding bath, a separate shower enclosure, a stylish wall-hung vanity unit with storage and mirror above, a separate WC, and a striking slip brick feature wall with recessed lighting and a shelf, creating an indulgent and calming atmosphere you won't want to leave.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The expansive garden offers both privacy and versatility, making it ideal for family gatherings, summer entertaining or quiet relaxation. The grounds provide an abundance of space for outdoor enjoyment, with a designated seating area featuring a gas-lit table, a covered bar area and a wood burner, creating the perfect setting for all year-round use. A large proportion of lawn, edged with mature planting, shrubs and trees, surrounds the garden, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and seclusion.
