Burgate Lane, Framlingham, NR14

CHARACTER & SPACE IN A SPECIAL PLACE.

In building these individual homes, the renowned local builder knew a good thing when he saw it and bagged Pickwick House for himself. Who could blame him ? one look and you will see that the location is superior and the plot sunny and private and best of all you have far reaching rural views overlooking farmland and fields and yet you can walk to extensive village amenities.


ACCOMMODATION

To cap it all, the current owners have undertaken an extensive redecoration in neutral tones, a revising and refitting of a large proportion of the downstairs to make one of the most stunning open plan kitchen/family & dining room areas we have had the pleasure to witness ? our photographer was speechless ! This remodelling also includes a utility room which is larger and better fitted than many a kitchen and a super new cloakroom/boot room. Truly, the best of all worlds within easy striking distance of Norwich, the Suffolk Heritage Coast and The Southern Broads ? ideal for trailer boats or caravans as there is ample screened parking too?..


The accommodation comprises of:

Ground Floor: Elegant Reception Hall Cloakroom Stunning Kitchen/Family Room Utility Room Dining/Family Room Sitting Room with inset contemporary wood burning stove Conservatory Cloakroom/WC/Boot Room.


First Floor: Gallery Landing Master suite comprising bedroom with built-in wardrobes, ensuite shower room & dressing/hobby room 3 further genuinely double bedrooms Refitted luxury family bathroom Galleried landing with family-sized airing cupboard.

Outside: The front garden is easy to maintain with a driveway affording ample parking with screened space for caravan or boat. The rear landscaped garden is south west facing and is enclosed by mature shrubs & fence which do offer a good degree of privacy ? and from parts of the garden there are far reaching rural views.

SITUATION
Burgate Lane falls within the civil parish of Framlingham Earl on the fringes of the popular and well served village of Poringland, just off the B1132, giving easy access to Norwich and the A47 Norwich southern by-pass. There are amenities and facilities including pubs, takeaways, supermarket, post office, doctor's surgery, library as well as numerous clubs and societies. Pickwick House falls within the catchment area for the very popular Framingham Earl High School. The countryside pursuits which Norfolk offers in abundance are all at hand, from the nearby golf-club to the tourist and children centred attractions such as the play barn , with the Broads, rivers, walking, cycling and horse-riding available for those who want to take advantage of the great outdoors.
Norwich, some 6.5 miles distant to the North, is rightly famous for its arts and culture and is England's first UNESCO city of literature.

. The vibrant night-life with night-clubs, cinema and theatre Norwich is a rare jewel of a city where commerce, culture and recreation successfully meet. The Forum, containing the Millennium Library and tourist information centre, stands adjacent to the imposing City Hall and the ancient Guildhall. The majestic Norman castle looks over the city centre, and the magnificent Cathedral is one of the country's finest with its wonderful cloisters and the Cathedral Close. Besides being a busy commercial area and regional centre of employment, Norwich exudes a sense of history and place which few other cities can match; this is the most complete medieval city in Britain and offers a rare blend of history and modern sophistication.

. It is a top ten shopping destination for the country and in addition to the open market and two malls has a host of small specialist shops and bars, restaurants and bijou eateries and The Lanes district was voted the Great British High Street Awards national winner in 2014 and is a home to independent retailers, cafes and bars of style and character. Norwich International Airport has daily flights to continental Europe and internal destinations.
