Description
Quietly positioned within the discreet, tree-lined enclave that is Hyde Close, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home is the very definition of tranquil country living.
Originally built for senior officers stationed at the nearby RAF Bircham Newton, one of Norfolk’s many WWII air bases now long decommissioned, the property has been meticulously refurbished and sympathetically extended by the current owners, resulting in a home that is as immaculate as it is inviting.
Set behind a grand façade, the true Norfolk welcome begins at the sheltered side entrance. Step inside to a practical boot room - the ideal space for sandy shoes after a summer’s day on the coast, or muddy paws after a bracing winter walk along the area’s many lanes and bridleways. Immediately to the left, a large utility and washroom offers the perfect place to sluice down two- and four-legged family members before entering the main house. The heart of this home is the kitchen family room, a showpiece designed and installed by the acclaimed Kitchens Etc. Here, full-width bi-fold doors and two lantern ceilings create an airy, light-filled space that opens directly to the garden for summer living, while a log burner promises cosy winter gatherings.
Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the home’s original formal dining room, now transformed into a more relaxed and sociable extension of the family space. The drawing room, with its south-facing bay window and second log burner, offers a calm retreat for quiet moments throughout the year. For something altogether more botanical, the L-shaped wraparound orangery invites you to unwind surrounded by tropical greenery - a serene escape whatever the weather.
Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms await. The principal suite boasts a south-facing bay window and a stylish en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the property enjoys an adjoining garage and ample off-street parking. The rear garden is expansive, private and fully enclosed, perfect for children and pets to roam safely. Two patio areas extend from the kitchen and orangery, allowing you to follow the sun or shade throughout the day. On the western side, a secluded terrace catches the golden evening light - an idyllic spot for a sundowner.
Lovingly restored with uncompromising attention to detail, this remarkable home blends the historic charm of its RAF heritage with a contemporary, stylish finish. The result is a truly special property, one that offers both a peaceful retreat and a welcoming hub for family and friends, all in one of North Norfolk’s most private and sought-after settings.
BIRCHAM NEWTON
The village of Bircham lies on the border of the Sandringham Estate, about 7 miles from the north Norfolk coast and comprises of three parishes: Great Bircham, Bircham Tofts and Bircham Newton.
Great Bircham has a good farm shop with deli, a church, St Mary’s and the Kings Head Hotel with award winning restaurant. There is also a fully restored windmill, considered to be the only working windmill in this part of the county, where visitors can climb five floors up to the fan stage and on windy days, can see the sails and milling machinery turning and admire the view. The mill also has a bakery, tea room, gift shop, small children’s farm and cycle hire centre.
Bircham Newton has a small, private trout fishing lake and the Church of All Saints, one of the smallest in the county, with no porch, few windows and Victorian box pews. Nelson’s daughter Horatia married Philip Ward, who was the rector and brought up a large family at Church Farm.
Bircham Tofts is recorded in the Domesday book as Stoftstan, referring to its stony soil and merged with Bircham Newton in 1719.
The closest train station is at King’s Lynn providing direct rail links to Cambridge and London King’s Cross.
