Wroxham

A journey down Beech Road will see you in the company of the finest riverside homes to be found in the area, amongst the most distinguished of which is Campbell Cottage; a show-piece character home boasting over 6,000 sq. ft. of fastidiously renovated accommodation, sitting amongst an enchanting plot of 2.5 acres (STMS) with sprawling manicured lawns and extensive landscaped moorings.

Any stresses and strains of modern day life are sure to be left at the gate, as the tree lined approach reveals the timeless elevations awaiting at the bottom of the sweeping driveway. An embracing entrance hall pops with all the character and warmth of a prestigious period home, as reams of natural light bounce off the parquet flooring and illuminate the decadent architraves, cornicing and ceiling roses.

At the heart of the ground floor is the kitchen, designed by Delia Smith and perfectly suited to opulent entertaining alongside a brilliantly functional space for busy families. A wealth of fine bespoke cabinetry is topped with Ogee edge granite and houses a full complement of appliances, whilst the large island gives way to a generous informal dining area.

In keeping with the social modernity, the interaction between the living room and formal dining room is inspired; both enjoy firm definition of their own whilst retaining just enough open-plan design to work together as a stunning pair of receptions when needed. A separate, more intimate family room provides essential balance to these grand open=plan receptions.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, the versatility on offer at Campbell Cottage quickly becomes evident, with numerous options for studies, ground floor bedrooms, additional receptions, gyms, and even a wet room with a sauna. Whilst retaining the timeless appeal of a historic home, the ability for Campbell Cottage to accommodate even the most demanding of modern family requirements is difficult to overstate.

The first floor is home to no less than five superb bedrooms. A lavish principal suite boasts both a large dressing room and luxurious en-suite, whilst two further guest bedrooms enjoy equally indulgent en-suites of their own. Two further large doubles bring the count to five and are both well-served be the central family bathroom.

Without a doubt, one of the most memorable features of this home is the enchanting grounds in which it sits.

Extending to almost 2.5 acres (STMS), an oasis of manicured lawns interspersed with majestic mature tress, feature multiple dining terraces ideally positioned to make the very best of the all day sunshine, listening to little more than the rustle of leaves as the dappled shade dances in the breeze.

The sprawling lawn provides space for all the family to stretch the legs, or to host memorable garden parties with the bottom of the garden revealing perhaps the ace card of this home; an extraordinary array of landscaped moorings with immaculate quay heading and a meandering board-walk leading to an island mooring.

Finding a better place to decompress and absorb the comforting pace of life by the water would be a tall order indeed.  

WROXHAM Situated a short commute away from Norwich with its many amenities, Wroxham is renowned for its boating culture.

Wroxham also benefits from excellent schooling nearby, and also the city of Norwich not being far away.

Standing on the river Bure, the village is divided by the river and shares its many attractions with the neighbouring Hoveton St John. Whether on the water or congregating in the busy pubs and restaurants on offer, there is something that will capture the heart of everyone. If you choose to hire a boat, you can travel at a leisurely pace along the broads and moor up at one of the local pubs. The Ferry Inn at Horning serves food all day and offers a fantastic outdoor space and plenty of mooring.

If you would rather stay on dry land, you can wander through the riverside park and feed the ducks, enjoy afternoon tea at one of the quaint tea rooms or simply sit and watch the boats go by in a sunshine filled pub garden.

The Bure Valley railway, which started in 1900, begins its journey in the centre of Wroxham. Both a steam and diesel train run the 18 mile round trip, taking you on a tour of pretty Norfolk villages and ending in Aylsham.

A fun family day out can be had at Wroxham Barns where crafts activities and a Junior Zoo are two of the many activities to enjoy, finishing off with a piece of homemade cake or perhaps a Norfolk brewed cider. For sailing enthusiasts, the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club is situated close by, offering a large club house, ample mooring and many organised events for both members and guests.

A gem in the Norfolk countryside, Wroxham offers plenty to see and do, whilst being easily accessible by car, train, bus and perhaps even boat from Norwich and the coast.
