The Old Mill, Martham, Norfolk

Leasehold | Approx. 845 sq ft / 78.5 sq m


The Tour:

Set within a striking Victorian flour mill conversion, this two-bedroom apartment lies on the second floor of one of Martham's most recognisable buildings. Originally built in the late 19th century by the Dyball family-local grain merchants and millers-the former steam mill has undergone a series of evolutions, from industrial use to joinery workshop, before its thoughtful residential conversion in 2006.

The apartment's generous open-plan living area is characterised by exposed structural beams and a dual-aspect layout that welcomes natural light. From here, windows frame glimpses of the village green and the distant church tower, grounding the home in its picturesque Norfolk surroundings. Two comfortable bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and a corner kitchen complete the plan, with ample room to reimagine or simply enjoy as is.

Outside, residents share access to a landscaped communal garden and benefit from two private parking spaces, a storage shed, and bin store. A short stroll leads to village amenities and the peaceful waters of the Norfolk Broads, making this an ideal base for coastal retirement or a low-maintenance holiday home in a timeless setting.


The Area:

The Old Mill sits quietly on Back Lane in the heart of Martham, a well-served Broadland village surrounded by open countryside and just a short drive from the Norfolk coast. Life here strikes a careful balance between pastoral calm and everyday convenience. At the centre of the village is the traditional green, overlooked by a handsome medieval church, while a cluster of independent shops, a Co-op, post office, doctors' surgery and two pubs provide for daily needs.

Martham Primary and Nursery School, rated 'Good' by Ofsted, is nearby, with secondary education accessible in nearby Flegg High. The village is also home to a vibrant community with clubs, sports teams and regular events held in the modern village hall.

Beyond the village boundaries, the waterways of the Norfolk Broads beckon-perfect for paddleboarding, birdwatching, or long summer walks. Martham Broad, a short stroll from the property, is a peaceful nature reserve teeming with wildlife. For coastal escapes, the wide sandy beaches of Winterton and Horsey are under 15 minutes away. This is a setting that combines village charm with natural beauty, all within easy reach of Great Yarmouth and Norwich by road or public transport.
