Ickburgh

Life at 61 Ashburton Road is all about space, flexibility and a setting that makes day-to-day living feel easy. Tucked into the heart of Ickburgh, this is a home that grows with you - whether that means family gatherings, working from home or simply finding quiet corners to unwind.

The ground floor is designed for modern living, with a choice of reception rooms that let everyone have their own space while keeping a natural flow through the home. Picture the main lounge for cosy evenings, a dining room that easily becomes the hub for Sunday lunches, and another reception that works just as well as a playroom or home office. At the centre, the kitchen brings it all together - practical for weekday meals but also ready for entertaining, with the utility and ground-floor WC making sure there’s no compromise on convenience.

Upstairs, four bedrooms give the whole household room to spread out. The main suite, complete with its own shower room, offers a little privacy at the end of a long day, while the remaining bedrooms are generous in size - whether that’s for children, guests or the dressing room you’ve always wanted. The family bathroom means mornings run smoothly, no matter how busy the household.

Step outside and the lifestyle continues. A garden that feels private and manageable offers space for barbecues, a patch for the children to run around or simply a quiet moment with a coffee in the morning sun. To the front, the drive provides plenty of parking along with a garage, making comings and goings simple.

And then there’s the location. Ickburgh is a village that gives you the best of both worlds – a community feel and countryside surroundings, with the A11 close by for easy access when you need it. Whether heading out to work, welcoming friends for the weekend or enjoying the quieter pace of village life, 61 Ashburton Road is a home ready to fit around the way you want to live.

ICKBURGH
Ickburgh, a small village nestled on the edge of Thetford Forest, is a place where the pace of life slows to meet the rhythm of nature. Surrounded by some of Norfolk’s most expansive woodland, it offers a rare combination of tranquillity, community spirit and easy connections beyond the village. Here, life is shaped by the open skies, the gentle flow of the nearby River Wissey and the beauty of the surrounding Breckland landscape.

Though modest in size, Ickburgh enjoys a sense of warmth and neighbourliness that defines rural living. The village itself sits just a short distance from the historic market town of Swaffham, with its Georgian architecture and bustling Saturday market, while Thetford and Brandon provide additional shops, schools and rail links. For those seeking outdoor adventure, Thetford Forest is on the doorstep, offering miles of walking, cycling and riding trails.

Positioned close to the A11, Ickburgh is well connected, with Norwich, Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds all within easy reach. This makes it an appealing choice for those who want the calm of countryside living without losing touch with the energy of nearby towns and cities.

Property here reflects the village’s character: traditional cottages and family homes sit alongside more modern dwellings, each benefiting from the surrounding greenery and sense of space. It’s a place that feels tucked away yet never isolated – a village where you can retreat to peaceful living while keeping the wider world within reach.
