Description
Guide Price £475,000 - £500,000
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Townshend Road offers a living environment that suits both the pace of busy family life and the desire for a calmer atmosphere. Just minutes from Dereham’s town centre, the location is close enough to walk to local shops, schools and cafés, but far enough to enjoy the privacy and quiet that comes from a tucked-away position.
Inside, the home is laid out with everyday life in mind. At its heart is a modern kitchen/diner - bright, spacious, and designed to accommodate everything from a weekday breakfast rush to a weekend dinner with friends. The garden room extends this living space further, bringing in plenty of natural light and offering a relaxed spot to read, host, or simply enjoy a view of the garden. It’s a home that adapts to your routine, rather than the other way around. Two further reception areas on the ground floor offer flexibility; one is currently used as a lounge, ideal for winding down in the evenings; the other could suit a range of uses - from a formal dining space to a home office or children’s snug. That adaptability continues upstairs, where all four bedrooms are genuinely double in size and come with built-in wardrobes - making organisation simple, and morning routines that bit smoother. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a well-fitted family bathroom. Storage and practicality have been well considered throughout, from the dedicated utility room to the detached double garage, which adds both convenience and security. There’s parking space for two cars, in front of the garage.
DEREHAM
Nestled in the Brecklands, Dereham is a classic country market town with Georgian architecture and more recent developments.
In the eighth century, Anna, King of East Anglia’s youngest daughter, founded a nunnery and prayed for a miracle during a famine. Two deer appeared daily, providing milk. When a huntsman tried to capture them, he was killed after being thrown from his horse, believed to be divine retribution. This event is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street.
Today, Dereham boasts a twice-weekly market on Tuesdays and Fridays, numerous independent shops, and free parking, making it a great spot for an afternoon browse. Notable landmarks include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, running 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, the Grade II listed Dereham Windmill, and Bishop Bonner’s Cottage, the oldest building in town, established in 1502.
Nearby attractions for heritage enthusiasts include Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, Castle Acre Castle and Priory, and the National Trust property Oxburgh Hall, all within a short drive.
For dining, try Spice Fusion curry house or The George Hotel, Bar and Restaurant, known for its excellent accommodation, food, and award-winning drinks. Brisley, 6.5 miles away, hosts The Brisley Bell, a highly acclaimed pub, while The Old Dairy in Stanfield offers artisan bread and produce.
With good local schools, a leisure centre, and a golf course, Dereham and its surrounding villages provide an ideal blend of Norfolk country living with easy access to Norwich and the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, just 22 miles away. Discover this Norfolk gem.
Whether you’re upsizing for more space, moving for schools, or simply seeking a more balanced lifestyle in a central location, this home is set up to support it. At Townshend Road, the essentials of family life - space, comfort, connection - are all here, in a setting that lets you grow into the years ahead with ease.
