About this property

DESCRIPTION Long Meadow Lodge enjoys some of the finest views across the River Yare from its elevated and enviable position in the much-loved Broadland village of Brundall. The house and grounds have been meticulously designed and tended since ownership of the land began in around 2007.

The house was completed in 2010, being constructed of traditional brick elevations under a slate roof, following a strategic planning programme which included underfloor heating across all floors, and ensuring that all floors and rooms were regularly used as part of the incredible 5707 sq.ft. of accommodation. The result is a magnificent residence with versatility and extensive areas to entertain and enjoy family life in this delightful location.

The entrance is charming, accessed via bespoke electric gates into a brick weave drive which flows down past the front of the house into a large parking and turning area with the double garage and workshop positioned in the northeast corner. The house is approached at the front into an attractive entrance hall serving the cloakroom, dining room/bedroom 4 with a separate dressing room and en-suite facilities, entrance to the annexe and the kitchen dining room.

The 37' kitchen dining room acts as the hub of the home with its high-quality wall and base units and central island with granite worksurfaces. There are an excellent range of integrated appliances together with the range cooker which is remaining with the house. Off the kitchen in an open plan format lies the incredible garden room with its attractive log burner and floor to ceiling glass positioned across three aspects taking in the landscaped gardens and picturesque views out towards Surlingham and the protected reserves. The 21' balcony provides a charming space for any occasion accessed off the dining area via French doors. Across the other side of the kitchen lies a useful utility/plant/drying room.

On the first floor the landing provides access to two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and the cinema/upper sitting room. The principal bedroom suite has been beautifully designed to include a dressing area and en-suite bathroom with twin sinks. Access to the balcony is enjoyed from both the principal bedroom and the cinema/upper sitting room and the views from here are outstanding.

The lower ground floor is superbly laid out to include three bedrooms, with en-suites to two of the rooms and there is access out to the main terrace via all rooms. Bedroom three is a very generously proportioned en-suite room which is currently used as an office.

The Annexe: Positioned off the entrance hall is access to a superb self-contained annexe wing comprising the entrance hall, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with en-suite shower room, dual aspect sitting room and cloakroom.

The gardens and grounds act as a major feature of the house with many points of interest across various elevations. The front gardens are mainly lawned with a variety of trees and shrubs strategically positioned to offer a high degree of privacy from neighbouring properties. The front lawned gardens continue to the eastern boundary and head down to the summer house which overlooks the terrace and woodland with the river and broad peeking through the trees.

Due to the position of Long Meadow Lodge being elevated up above the River Yare the grounds slope away to the south which begin with the attractive terrace positioned off the lower ground floor. There are various steps which lead down to a plethora of landscaped borders with deep shrub and flower beds providing all year colour. A further lawned area provides a pleasant spot to entertain with super views back towards the house.

The whole is a wonderful opportunity and will be of interest to a wide variety of buyers looking for a modern, functional home in a charming and private spot.
