Thorpe End

This fine home is located within the popular village of Thorpe End, conceived in the 1930s as a garden village with all the original homes created with the same ethos of a cleaner, simpler way of life. As one of the original properties, St Margarets enjoys a superb plot, set back from the road, wonderfully discreet, mature and private. The current owners have enjoyed family living here and have sympathetically extended the property to create the most impressive kitchen/breakfast/family room, incorporating a high specification kitchen including two Neff ‘Slide and Hide’ ovens, a six ring gas hob and a hot water tap.

A spacious entrance hall serves the dual aspect reception room/office room to the front, with its bay window giving the room a lovely feel and plenty of natural light. The sitting room is a great space, perfect for relaxing and, in the winter months, lovely warmth from the wood-burner style gas stove. Oak flooring throughout the sitting room, hall and reception room creates a wonderful flow. Folding oak doors take you into the truly impressive, vaulted kitchen/breakfast/family room, flooded with natural light from the two roof lights and double bi-fold doors that really do bring the outdoors in. In addition, there is a well appointed office that could also be utilised as a ground floor bedroom if so required. A modern, well-fitted shower room and a utility room are also on offer in this fine family home.

The first floor is home to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern well-fitted family bath and shower room.

With Plumstead Road lined by mature oak trees, to the front there is a large gravelled driveway with parking and access to the garage. Established planting gives privacy and a lovely outlook is provided by a rockery, lawn and ornamental fishpond.

To the rear, the south-south-east facing garden has been well-landscaped and offers a wide variety of planting and a sweeping lawn, complemented by native hedging, a wildflower meadow and wildlife pond. A wonderful addition has been the spacious terrace, perfect for enjoying views of the garden and excellent for those summer parties. To the far reaches of the garden, as well as a decked area, you will find a productive kitchen garden, fruit trees, established fruit beds and a herb garden, making this a true gardeners delight.

THORPE END

On the east side of Norwich is Thorpe End. The village is known locally as the “garden village” and has an in-bloom gardening event for people to showcase their own gardens. There are also shops and a village hall.

Norwich, an ancient city steeped in a millennium of history, has long been a haven for writers, radicals, and independent thinkers, fostering a rich culture and creative spirit. Its meticulously preserved medieval streets host a thriving community of small businesses, a dynamic culinary scene, and a vibrant arts culture. As a gateway to a county renowned for its pristine landscapes, expansive skies, and untouched vistas, Norwich continues to inspire.

Named one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich sits approximately 20 miles from the coast where the River Yare and the River Wensum converge, the latter meandering through its heart. Once the second largest city in England during the 11th century, Norwich proudly retains its title as the UK’s most complete medieval city. Historic paths like Elm Hill beckon with Tudor architecture and quaint cafés leading to the majestic Norwich Cathedral, a testament to its thousand-year legacy.

With direct trains to London’s Liverpool Street in just 90 minutes and an airport connecting to UK cities and Amsterdam, Norwich blends historical charm with modern connectivity—a city that captivates and welcomes all who embrace its allure.
