5 Bed Semi-Detached House For Sale St. Andrews Park, Norwich, NR7

Set amongst an exclusive and highly sought-after collection of period homes, Lime Tree House is an exceptional home boasting almost 3,000 sq. ft. of distinguished accommodation adorned with fine period features. Show-stopping formal receptions showcase a wealth of character, whilst an abundance of bedrooms provides the invaluable versatility needed for a home to accompany the ever-changing demands of a modern family life.

A meandering footpath intersects manicured lawns leading to the front door, through which you are greeted by the immediate splendour of the hallway with barrelled ceilings and stripped original flooring.

Amongst the highlights of the ground floor accommodation is, without question, the sensational triple aspect formal sitting room boasting high ceilings and flooded the natural light - via no less that six full-height original arched windows. With ample room for a large dining set, this beautiful room boasts space enough to accommodate a wonderfully open plan and modern way of spending time with family and friends without for a moment losing any of its drama - especially in the summer with a rear door to the south-facing sun terrace.

Offering yet more open plan living, the kitchen enjoys distinctive barrelled ceilings under which an array of elegant cabinetry is topped with solid oak worktops. There's ample space for a six-seater dining table which makes for an idyllic setting for informal dining and entertaining.

Offering essential balance to these large open plan spaces, the snug/family room provides a peaceful haven within this enchanting home. It's a cosy room, an ideal place to settle and enjoy a good movie or perhaps some downtime tinkering on the piano. The ground floor is completed by a handy study, a well-equipped utility room and a guest WC.

The first floor is home to no less than five elegant bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. The opulent principal suite provides all the elegance you could hope for from a home of this calibre; high ceilings, reams of natural light, original windows and of course a lavish en-suite. The second suited bedroom makes for an enviable guest suite whilst the three further bedrooms provide brilliant versatility and are well-served by the equally luxurious family bathroom.

Outside, an idyllic south-facing sun terrace comfortably houses a large outdoor dining set and further seating; the perfect spot to soak up any all-day sunshine and enjoy the far-reaching views across rolling countryside. Lime Tree House also benefits from two allocated parking spaces and an en-bloc garage with driveway.
