An impressive village house with outstanding views.
26 Binham Road is one of those houses that catches the eye. Set on the edge of the popular village of Langham, about 1 mile in land from the coastline, the house stands out due to its attractive brick and flint elevations including a sympathetic extension that transformed the scale and function of the house. With plenty of glazing, not only did it add a contemporary feel, it also optimised the far reaching views to the south over North Norfolk countryside.
The blend of traditional and modern continues within the house. At the heart of it all is the excellent open plan space that combines the kitchen, dining area and a living room. Creating a vibrant, sociable and flexible hub of the home, and spanning over 12 meters, it lends itself brilliantly to modern living styles. The kitchen is hand built and bespoke, with plenty of cupboards, Aga, and a large central island with breakfast bar. The dining area sits in the middle of the space, with a wide opening into a comfortable living room. Flowing through from the living there is a spacious sitting room, a more refined room perhaps, with amazing light thanks to plenty of windows, and floor to ceiling corner glazing on south to west.
The opposite end of the house is multi-functional. There is an essential utility room, with external access for when returning from the coastline or rural walks. There is also a games room, with glazed doors to the south, which could certainly be used as a future proofing ground floor bedrooms given it enjoys an en-suite shower room.
Upstairs are five bedrooms with a great layout. At one end is the impressive principal bedroom, a light and airy room with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling glazing providing outstanding views across the Norfolk coastline. It is quite a view to wake up to and this bedroom has an en-suite shower room. A further two double bedrooms both have en-suite shower rooms, with the remaining two double bedrooms served by the family bathroom.
Outside
26 Binham Road sits centrally within its plot, set back from the road. An expansive gravelled area provides plenty of parking for vehicles and boats if required. This area is framed from the house by attractive park fencing, which in turn helps to enclose the wider gardens giving peace of mind for active children and pets.
To the south of the house is a patio, the ideal spot sun throughout the day, overlooking lawns and shrubs, with willow fencing and hedging on the boundary. A brick and flint wall with gate opens into the rear gardens. A second patio again takes in the afternoon and evening sun and is used for al fresco dining and entertaining, with paving continuing along the back of the house. An expanse of lawns opens away from the house, with orchard, and shrubberies, whilst in one corner is a garden shed.

I was super impressed by the space of this house, topped up by the amazing views across the countryside.
