Broad House
Dilham Lost Broad, Dilham
An immaculate 4 bed house, overlooking the 25 acre Dilham Lost Broad in a secluded part of the Norfolk Broads. This recently renovated property sleeps 8 in comfort, with 4 bedrooms (3 en-suite). It is privately situated, whilst still being just minutes away from everything the Norfolk Broads has to offer. Outside is a substantial garden, with a climbing frame, and a hot-tub to sink into after a day exploring the local area.
The Property
Broad House has been finished to an exceptional standard, exploiting the original features of the old cottage including oak flooring and beams to compliment. Reclaimed and refurbished cast iron radiators, timber windows a roll top bath and a period farrow & ball colour scheme.
The modern extension boasts in-keeping contemporary vertical radiators, porcelain polished concrete effect flooring and en suites finished to a modern standard using oxide tiles and black framed shower enclosures.
As you enter the property you meet a light and airy corridor-leading straight to the spacious kitchen dinner.
The kitchen finished in navy blue with solid quartz worktops has everything you would expect, full height 70.30 fridge freezer, integrated oven and combi oven. An induction hob, dishwasher and boiling water tap ensure you have all your home comforts. The breakfast bar seats 4 and the dining table is suited for 8 persons.
The kitchen diner has access to the private and enclosed rear garden via two sets of bi-fold doors. The bi-folds open on to a large patio area which is tiled in the same porcelain as internally, the flush thresholds really bring the outside in and make for a wonderful social space.
The garden contains a new and very fun looking climbing frame for the children and for the adults a six-man hot tub is located on the patio. Also on the patio you will find a set of garden furniture and a gas BBQ. If storage for bikes, toys etc is required there is a sizeable summerhouse at your disposal.
Leading off the kitchen is the utility area, finished in the same style as the kitchen here you can find an additional sink, washing machine and tumble drier. The utility also houses a boot room area for all your coats, shoes and boots.
Moving into the old mill dwellers cottage you will find the lounge with beautiful oak beams and mantle, a lovely cast wood burner for those warm and cosy evenings, cast iron radiators and two large comfortable sofas and two arm chairs will ensure enough seating for everybody. Although a snug room it has the benefit of aspects over the rear garden and the lost broad. The lounge also accommodates the digital TV.
The Family Bathroom located on the ground floor has both a bath and a shower, the room is presented in a period correct style boasting floral floor tiles and blended with a contemporary metro tiles cladding the walls. All bath/showrooms have heated towel rails.
Bedroom 2 is equipped with twin beds and bedroom 3 a double bed plus a contemporary finished en-suite shower room. Being in the new part of the house the finishes have been chosen to compliment this, with modern radiators and light fittings. Both of these bedrooms again are located on the ground floor just off the utility corridor.
Second in size to the master bedroom is bedroom 4, this room has direct access over its own patio via french doors to the private rear garden. A room full of light and plenty of space easily effortlessly accommodates a super-king size bed and dressing table, it also has its own dressing area which then leads to the en-suite shower room.
The master bedroom is located on the 1st floor of the old house; in fact it is the entire 1st floor!! An open stairwell leads you past glass balustrade into the room with four large Georgian bar windows offering a dual aspect – over the broad and overlooking the patio and rear garden. Again period cast iron radiators, deep pile carpet, a super-king size bed, dressing table and antique chair offer a luxurious feel. The en-suite is home to a large walk in shower with ceiling integrated shower head, his and hers basins and a roll top bath that takes advantage of the views over the old broad. All this is finished in deep avocado wall tiles floor to ceiling and a random monochrome floor tile, you have to see it!
Externally the property offers a small lawn area and bench to the front so the lost broad views can be enjoyed from outside. To the rear, past the garden we have 2 acres of private woodland for you to explore. To the west of the house across the driveway you can find the stream, which if you follow you will see it runs underneath the house! Keep following it and it will take you to the ruin of the old water mill.
The property has a private gated driveway and secure off road parking in designated bays for four vehicles. Please note although this land is privately owned there is a public footpath right of way along the driveway which leads to Dilham Canal. Although we cannot control the usage of the footpath, we can advise it is minimal and has not posed a problem to any guests staying at the property.
