Location

Fakenham Road runs through the heart of Taverham, a well-established village located to the northwest of Norwich in the county of Norfolk. As one of the main routes through the area, Fakenham Road enjoys a convenient position with easy access to both local amenities and surrounding countryside. The village offers a strong sense of community and is well-served by a variety of local shops, including a Co-op supermarket, independent retailers, a pharmacy, hairdressers, and several takeaway outlets.

For families, Taverham is home to highly regarded schools such as Taverham High School and Ghost Hill Infant and Nursery School, both within a short distance of Fakenham Road. Healthcare needs are met by nearby GP practices and dental surgeries within the village, with larger medical facilities accessible in Norwich. Public transport is regular and reliable, with bus services running along Fakenham Road providing direct links into Norwich city centre and neighbouring villages. The area also benefits from good road connections, with the A1067 offering straightforward routes towards the Norfolk coast or into central Norfolk.

From the moment you approach via the sweeping shingle driveway, the property’s sense of privacy and grandeur becomes immediately apparent. Surrounded by mature greenery and with ample off-road parking, this is a home that balances seclusion with accessibility.

The main residence unfolds with a sense of space and flow—perfect for modern family life. At its heart lies a generously sized sitting room, perfect for unwinding with the family or hosting guests, while a formal dining room sets the scene for special occasions and dinner parties. The adjacent garden room, flooded with natural light, offers a sun lit spot for morning coffee or reading, with panoramic views of the private garden beyond.

The kitchen combines functionality with quality, featuring fitted cabinetry, an integrated double oven, induction hob, and designated spaces for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There's scope here to open the space further or enhance with your own design preferences, but it is very much a practical and welcoming heart of the home as it stands.

Ideal for modern family lifestyles, the ground floor also includes a versatile playroom or additional reception, along with a ground floor bedroom—ideal for older relatives, guests, or a spacious home office. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a conveniently located family bathroom.

A standout feature of this property is the self-contained annex, offering its own entrance at the front and complete independence with a fitted kitchen, a private shower room, and two generous double bedrooms. Whether for extended family, older teenagers, live-in carers, or as a potential holiday or long-term rental income stream, this space offers valuable flexibility.

The first floor continues the theme of generous space, with three well-proportioned bedrooms and the second family bathroom. Each bedroom offers comfort and privacy, while large windows frame views of the surrounding greenery.

To the rear, the private garden is a true highlight—meticulously maintained and framed by mature hedging for complete seclusion. The space is predominantly laid to lawn, punctuated by established planted beds, and features a paved patio for al fresco dining and summer gatherings. A swimming pool, currently in need of recommissioning, offers exciting potential for those seeking a home with leisure at its heart. Two timber storage sheds provide practical outdoor storage.
