West Lodge, 19 Yarmouth Road Blofield, Norfolk

West Lodge is a delightful period residence offering spacious, versatile accommodation across two floors, seamlessly blending timeless character with modern comforts. Dating back to the 1600’s and once the home of the village doctor, the property was thoughtfully extended in years past to provide two private wings for sisters, connected by elegant shared living spaces. Today, West Lodge remains a warm and inviting home, rich in history and full of personality.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Blofield—within Norfolk’s desirable Broadland district—this charming home enjoys a peaceful setting with the convenience of excellent local amenities.
