Description
Tucked away in the heart of the peaceful village of Gooderstone, Willow House is a home that invites you to exhale the moment you arrive. Built on the historic grounds of an old forester’s lodge and former windmill, this modern family home is rich with character, charm and space — a sanctuary where countryside calm meets contemporary comfort.
Step inside and you’ll find generous proportions and light-filled rooms throughout. The expansive sitting room is a standout space, a favourite of the current owners, where the sun pours through wide windows, offering a warm and uplifting atmosphere all year round. It’s the kind of room that makes you want to stay a little longer. The kitchen and dining area are equally impressive, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday family life.
Upstairs, four well-appointed bedrooms provide plenty of space for growing families or visiting guests, with an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a stylish family bathroom completing the first floor.
Beyond the walls of the home lies a world of natural beauty. Gooderstone is renowned for its scenic walks and rich wildlife — from early morning strolls down Clarke’s Lane with its ever-changing views and quiet encounters with deer and peacocks, to longer walks through open fields and winding trails to Foulden and back. It’s a lifestyle of connection — to nature, to peace, and to the charm of rural Norfolk.
The village itself is wonderfully quiet, yet remarkably connected — just a short drive from town and now with the added convenience of a local bus service. And if you’re a lover of local history, you’ll be delighted by the home’s roots. The garden still rests over the foundations of the original windmill, and next door, at Mill House, the old bakery remains tucked away in the cellar — a gentle nod to the stories this land still holds. Three words the owners use to describe their home? Modern. Spacious. Quiet. And we couldn’t agree more.
GOODERSTONE
Tucked away in the Norfolk countryside, Gooderstone is a traditional village with a warm, welcoming community, just 6 miles from the bustling market town of Swaffham.
At its heart is the charming St. George’s Church, complete with a 13th-century Norman tower. A mobile Post Office visits several times a week, keeping village life connected.
Opposite the church is the much-loved Swan Inn, a cosy village pub that’s a hub of activity. From informal folk and acoustic jam nights to a monthly quiz, weekly singing group, craft club, and regular coffee mornings, there’s always something happening.
Families are well catered for with an OFSTED-rated Outstanding primary school and a local pre-school.
A real hidden gem, Gooderstone Water Gardens offers six acres of peaceful gardens to explore. A favourite with locals and visitors alike, it’s perfect for a wander, a cuppa in the Tearoom, or a moment of calm. Open all year round and dog-friendly too.
Nearby Swaffham has everything you could need – supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco and Asda, great places to eat and shop, excellent schools, doctors’ surgeries and plenty of sports and leisure options, including a top golf course. Don’t miss its popular Saturday market and historic landmarks like The Buttercross.
With rail links at Brandon (12 miles) and Downham Market (13 miles), Gooderstone offers the charm of village life with convenience close at hand – ideal for those who want the best of both worlds.
