Whitehorse Street, Wymondham

Believed to date back to 1888, this beautifully restored Victorian terrace forms part of the historic Briton brush factory cottages — a piece of Wymondham’s rich industrial heritage. Set within a conservation area, the home has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated by the current owner, combining period charm with high-quality modern finishes.

From the outset, the property impresses. The deep red brick façade is perfectly complemented by striking anthracite grey double-glazed windows and front door, offering a crisp, contemporary contrast that sets the tone for what lies within.

Step through into a welcoming sitting room, complete with a characterful inglenook fireplace and soft, newly laid carpet underfoot. The heart of the home is the stylish green Wren shaker-style kitchen, finished with fresh tiling and full of charm and functionality. Beyond the kitchen, a rear porch opens into a private courtyard garden, with raised flower beds and a useful brick-built outbuilding that houses not only a functioning toilet, but there is a also a raised fireplace and chimney stack!

Upstairs, you’ll find two beautifully appointed double bedrooms, both recently decorated with elegant panelling and a careful eye for detail. The bathroom is a showstopper in itself — a super-stylish space featuring a classic clawfoot tub and elevated views over the woodland behind.

To the rear, the home enjoys an outlook onto mature trees where the River Tiffey meanders quietly through. It’s not uncommon to spot visiting muntjac deer, squirrels, and rabbits — a serene natural backdrop that belies the home’s proximity to town. Just a short stroll up the road leads you to Wymondham’s bustling market square, filled with independent shops, cafés, and all the amenities you could need.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Wymondham’s history — lovingly updated for modern living, nestled in nature, and set just moments from the heart of one of Norfolk’s most sought-after market towns.

Location - Steeped in history and brimming with character, Wymondham (pronounced Windham) is one of Norfolk’s most desirable market towns.

At the heart of the town lies the magnificent Wymondham Abbey, a striking 12th-century Benedictine monastery with twin towers and a rich monastic past. Its presence sets the tone for the town’s historical significance, which is further echoed in the beautifully preserved timber-framed buildings, winding streets, and cobbled lanes that give Wymondham its unique character.

Once a hub for the wool trade and famously linked to Robert Kett and the 1549 rebellion, Wymondham’s sense of history is woven into its everyday life — from the historic railway station to the traditional town centre, where a twice-weekly market still thrives.

Despite its heritage, Wymondham offers all the amenities expected of contemporary living. Residents enjoy a variety of independent shops, cafes, and eateries, as well as essential services, supermarkets, and a well-regarded Waitrose. There’s a lively community atmosphere, with local events, arts festivals, and farmers' markets throughout the year.

For families, Wymondham is especially sought after thanks to its excellent schooling options, including the outstanding-rated Wymondham College, one of the top state boarding schools in the country.

Commuters benefit from direct rail links to Norwich, Cambridge, and London, along with easy access to the A11, connecting you seamlessly to the wider region. There are also frequent bus routes across the wider Norfolk area, including to the city centre and Norfolk and Norwich Hospital every 15 minutes.

Surrounded by rolling countryside yet just a short drive from the cultural and retail delights of Norwich, Wymondham offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful, historic setting with everything you need close at hand.
