About this listing

The Orchard is a spacious and excellently presented architect-designed 6,000 sq ft house in 0.68 acres and with an indoor swimming pool. Designed by a local architect and built in 1998 of brick and flint elevations, the property enjoys accomodation that is mostly laid out on the ground floor. A tiled porch leads to a welcoming reception hall with 12 ft high ceiling, solid wood floors and a seating area looking onto the indoor swimming pool. The triple aspect drawing room is impressive with vaulted ceiling, solid oak flooring and a fireplace with wood burning stove under a mezzanine. The snug has oak floors and is cosy with fireplace and wood burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted with space for a breakfast table and has French doors out to a decked terrace. There are four ground floor bedrooms two with en suite bath and shower rooms, and a separate shower room, as well as a bedroom suite on the first floor. On the first floor, the former attic space now forms a bedroom suite. A large reception room with wood burning stove is located next to an integrated single garage. Above this is a one bedroom self contained annexe with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. The heated indoor pool has a triple aspect, with French doors on all sides and two cedar decks. The gardens lie mainly to the rear and are mostly laid to lawn with mature trees and with exposed brickwork from the original walled garden. Outside the kitchen is a flower garden with raised brick beds and a terrace. Santon Downham lies within Thetford Forest, on a meander of the River Little Ouse on the Norfolk–Suffolk border.
