The owners built the detached property from scratch with the help of a renowned architect, paying particular attention to the materials and finishes.

“We designed it to be versatile and to meet the needs of our family at every stage, as well as to be incredibly sociable,” they said. “It’s a place where you can have a lot of fun and make memories.”

The outbuildings have zinc roofs to match the angular zinc butterfly roofs of the main house, while the lighting has been “incredibly well designed throughout”, said Fine & Country.

Dominating the ground floor is an open-plan kitchen and living area with a wooden panelling feature containing a contemporary fire.

The kitchen has a good amount of storage and preparation space, along with a large breakfast bar and integrated Neff appliances.

Natural light floods in from three sides and the corner bifold doors, opening to a porcelain patio that works as an extension of the space.

Completing the ground floor are a utility room, shower room and snug, which could be used as a playroom or guest bedroom.

Upstairs, the highlight is the spectacular master suite, featuring a west-facing balcony for watching the sun set over the trees. It also benefits from an en suite and walk-in dressing room with plenty of storage.

There are three further bedrooms on this floor – one of which has alternative use as a study – and a family bathroom.

Additional accommodation can be found in the annexe, which has been finished with the same attention to detail as the house.

It comprises a stylish kitchen and sitting room, a good-size bedroom and modern bathroom. There is also garaging, a gym and WC within the building.

Fine & Country said the annexe could easily be let out, as the current owners have done, with the area being popular for exploring the Norfolk Broads and coast.

The landscaped gardens are also home to a small studio with kitchenette and shower room, while the owners have had plans drawn up for landscaping – including the creation of a natural pond and an outdoor entertaining area with pizza oven and hot tub.
