White House Gardens, Poringland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Tucked away within one of Poringland’s most discreet and desirable cul-de-sacs, this remarkable detached residence delivers an exceptional standard of modern family living.

Set on a generous corner plot, the home has been completely transformed by the present owners, showcasing an interior that feels effortlessly stylish, incredibly practical, and beautifully connected to the landscaped gardens that frame it.

From the moment you arrive, the setting feels exclusive. A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the detached double garage, while established planting softens the frontage and sets an immediate tone of quality. Step inside, and the sense of space becomes unmistakable.

The ‘L-shaped’ sitting room is a statement in itself, an expansive, beautifully dressed space wrapped with natural light from multiple aspects. The exposed brick fireplace creates a captivating focal point, while the layout gives you distinct areas to relax, host and unwind. French doors flow straight onto the terrace, allowing the garden to become an extension of the living space during warmer months.

The kitchen/breakfast room is the true heart of the home; elegant, contemporary and designed with everyday family living firmly in mind. A striking two-oven claret gas AGA anchors the space with warmth and character, perfectly complemented by quartz work surfaces, bespoke cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry cupboard and a generous central island incorporating informal seating, integrated appliances and excellent storage. From here the home opens through bi-folding doors into the garden room – a magnificent glazed living/dining space bathed in light with views across the garden. With underfloor heating and French doors that lead directly outside, it creates a seamless indoor/outdoor flow that elevates the entire ground floor.

Completing the downstairs footprint is a practical utility room with direct garden access, a modern cloakroom, and a versatile study/snug positioned at the front of the property – ideal for home working or as an additional bedroom if required.

The spacious first-floor landing makes a memorable impression with its feature window, drawing in daylight from morning until late afternoon. Four generous bedrooms branch from here, along with a beautifully presented family bathroom complete with underfloor heating and a stylish contemporary finish. Bedrooms Two and Three both offer fitted wardrobes and pleasant garden views, while Bedroom Four is equally inviting in size and versatility.

The principal suite is a sanctuary in its own right – a superb bedroom with views over the garden, leading through to an impressive dressing room lined with built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom that completes the sense of privacy and indulgence.

Outside, the gardens has been thoughtfully landscaped to create multiple zones for relaxation, dining and entertaining. The main terrace sweeps across the back of the house, perfectly positioned to catch the sun and easily large enough for substantial outdoor furniture. Manicured borders, established planting and a generous lawn combine to create a balanced, inviting space. A charming pond edges toward a secondary seating area, while beyond this the plot extends into a tranquil, semi-walled garden wrapping around the right-hand side of the home, a peaceful retreat ideal for evening sun.

A high-quality summer house sits proudly at the rear, offering endless flexibility as a home office, creative studio, gym or garden retreat. Its outlook across the garden enhances the sense of privacy and calm that the plot affords.

Perfectly located within walking distance of Poringland’s vast amenities, yet tucked away in a private, established setting, White House Gardens represents a rare offering: a substantial family home finished with genuine care, abundant space and a level of presentation that places it in a class of its own.
