Main Description
Blueberry Lodge is an attractive, well presented detached chalet style home, set back from the road in the popular north Norfolk village of Great Bircham. It is approached via a large gravel driveway with ample parking. A standout feature is the landscaped gardens, extending to approaching half an acre (subject to survey) with a variety of outdoor spaces, two small paddocks and an extensive range of useful outbuildings, all backing onto paddock land (which may be available to rent).
The spacious, versatile accommodation includes an entrance porch leading to a hallway, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and a generous sitting room with a multi-fuel stove. A garden room and conservatory at the rear offer further reception space overlooking the gardens. There is also a ground floor bedroom (or study) with a bathroom opposite. A self-contained annexe provides flexible living with its own entrance, courtyard, open-plan living space, double bedroom and shower room. Additional features include exposed pine floorboards, column radiators and traditional-style bathroom suites, enhancing the property's overall charm and character.
GROUND FLOORBlueberry Lodge offers spacious and versatile ground floor accommodation with an entrance porch leading to a welcoming reception hall and a generous sitting room featuring a multi-fuel stove and glazed doors opening to a bright garden room with garden access. The kitchen/breakfast room has an LPG range cooker and an oil-fired Aga (both available by separate negotiation) with ample storage, workspace and informal dining space with access to a conservatory and the rear garden. A separate dining room is ideal for more formal occasions. The ground floor also includes a well proportioned third bedroom (or study), a family bathroom and an inner hallway with staircase to the first floor.
A cleverly connected self-contained annexe, accessed via a hinged bookcase door, offers independent living with an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, double bedroom and bathroom - ideal for multi-generational living or guests.
FIRST FLOOR LANDINGThe first floor landing has a dormer window overlooking the rear garden and countryside, leading to both bedrooms. Each is double aspect with bedroom 1 featuring front and rear dormers and an en suite bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath. Bedroom 2 has a front dormer, rear Velux window and saloon doors opening to a cloakroom.
OUTSIDEBlueberry Lodge is set well back from the road behind a tall fence, approached via a generous gravel driveway providing ample parking plus a pedestrian gate beneath a covered arch giving direct access to Docking Road. The annexe benefits from its own side entrance and private courtyard, while a side gate leads past the boiler room, oil tank and LPG cylinders through to the rear garden.
The rear garden is a standout feature with a cobbled path and gravelled terrace adjoining the house and opening onto a shaped lawn. It is attractively landscaped with mature planting, specimen trees and stocked borders. A raised beach hut–style summer house with seating creates an ideal entertaining space. Beyond, a pathway leads to additional lawned areas with a timber shed and stable block, plus a more secluded garden with plant beds, a pond and a summer house currently used for a hot tub (available separately). Further areas include 2 fenced paddocks, currently used for vegetables and chickens, and a large powered workshop/store. In total, the grounds extend to approaching half an acre (sts), with a further 2 acre paddock (sts) to the rear, potentially available to rent.
