THE GREAT OUTDOORS The property sits to the side of its plot, with the gardens mainly sweeping around the front and side. A courtyard style rear garden has been used as a utility and washing space, but equally could suit a bistro set for outside dining in the summer months. To the side, steps lead to the lawned garden, with various outbuildings and storage sheds, coupled with an array of mature planting. The lawns sweep around, with various trees, and a sunken patio which leads from the dining room and conservatory bi-folding doors - basking in the summer sun.

OUT & ABOUT The rarely available village of Strumpshaw lies just east of the larger village of Brundall. With the benefit of local amenities being only a short drive away, Strumpshaw offers stunning rural walks and scenery, with the nearby RSPB Nature Reserve. Easy access can be gained to the A47, local buses stop close by, whilst the neighbouring villages of Brundall and Lingwood also offer railway stations, with trains to Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
