Location

Hala Ridge is set just outside the sought-after village of Kenninghall, surrounded by the rolling countryside of South Norfolk. This rural yet accessible location offers a rare sense of privacy and natural beauty, with scenic woodland, open fields, and far-reaching views forming the backdrop. Kenninghall itself is a well-regarded village, offering amenities such as a convenience store, pub, primary school, and doctor’s surgery, all within easy reach. The nearby market towns of Diss and Attleborough provide additional shopping, dining, and mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge, and Norwich. For road travel, the A11 is easily accessible, linking to the A14 and M11 for routes towards Cambridge and London. Norwich is approximately 20 miles away and offers a wider range of facilities, including an international airport. The area is also popular with those seeking outdoor recreation, with footpaths, cycling routes, and nature reserves all close by.

Kenninghall

The plot has been carefully envisioned to accommodate a striking, energy-efficient property of over 2,400 sqft, combining modern architectural design with long-term sustainability. The approved plans detail a two-storey home with a thoughtfully arranged layout tailored to both family life and flexible working. On the ground floor, the proposed entrance hall leads into an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area designed to maximise light and frame the surrounding views. This sociable hub is ideal for entertaining and everyday living, with direct access to the garden and outdoor landscape.

Also included in the design is a ground-floor guest suite with private en suite, alongside a separate WC, utility room, boot room, and internal access to a double garage - all contributing to a highly functional and adaptable home.

The first floor offers three further double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with its own en suite bathroom and balcony - a perfect vantage point for enjoying the rural setting. A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, while the mezzanine area offers versatile potential as a study, reading space or creative studio, overlooking the living area below.

Set within sensitively landscaped woodland, the plot has been curated to work with its environment, promoting biodiversity and privacy while allowing the future home to sit comfortably in its natural surroundings. The peaceful location, just outside the desirable village of Kenninghall, allows for the enjoyment of a tranquil countryside lifestyle without compromising on access to local amenities.

This is an ideal purchase for self-builders, designers, or anyone seeking a rare opportunity to construct a forever home tailored to personal style, comfort and values. The site already benefits from full planning consent via Breckland District Council (Ref: 3PL/2020/1331/F), with full plans and supporting documents available for review.
