DESCRIPTION

This impressive and generously proportioned 5/6-bedroom family home combines character with versatility, having been thoughtfully adapted over the years to provide exceptional living space. This offers remarkable flexibility for multi-generational living. Set at the end of a long, tree-lined shared driveway, it enjoys a large, private, and secluded garden.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall featuring wood flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor. Double doors lead into a cosy snug with wood flooring, a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and a bright triple-aspect layout. The spacious sitting room showcases exposed timber beams, a second wood-burning stove, and double-aspect views over the garden. Steps lead down to an additional double-aspect reception room, currently used as a study, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. Double doors also open into a lobby area, with further steps leading down to a generously sized, double-aspect games room, which also features French doors to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room, a later addition to the home, is a standout feature and truly the heart of the property. Bathed in natural light thanks to five electric Velux windows, this bright and airy space is beautifully designed to combine style and functionality. It is fitted with a bespoke range of hand-built cabinetry and a large central island; all topped with elegant granite worktops. The open-plan layout offers an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining, with high-quality appliances including a gas Aga, integrated fan oven with extractor hood, refrigerator, and microwave. Ample storage is provided throughout, including a generous walk-in pantry, while the large island doubles as a breakfast bar - perfect for casual dining and social gatherings. A set of double doors opens into the spacious dining room, which enjoys double-aspect views to the front of the property.

A secondary front entrance leads into a spacious hallway, providing ample room for storing outdoor wear and giving access to a second staircase rising to the first floor. From here, there is access to an additional reception room, currently used as a music room - this could also be used as a bedroom or a home gym. The utility room is well-appointed with built-in cabinetry, a sink, and a convenient shower.

The principal staircase is highlighted by a striking stained-glass window on the west-facing front elevation. The first floor features four well-sized double bedrooms and a versatile fifth room, currently used as an office but equally suited as a well-proportioned bedroom. The landing leads to the current principal bedroom, a bright triple-aspect space with an adjoining shower room. This area can easily be adapted into a private suite for a relative, au pair, or guest

SITUATION

Nestled along the River Wensum, Taverham lies just six miles from the heart of Norwich and offers an ideal balance between town and country living. The village boasts abundant green space and direct access to the historic Marriott’s Way, a scenic footpath and cycle route that stretches between the market town of Aylsham and Norwich.

A notable local landmark, Taverham Mill, was once a prominent paper producer whose output was used for The Times newspaper, the Oxford English Dictionary, and even Bank of England banknotes. Since the mill’s closure in 1899, the 100-acre site has been transformed into a picturesque nature reserve featuring walking trails and four lakes popular with anglers fishing for carp, tench, roach, perch, and pike.

Taverham offers an excellent range of local amenities, including a well-equipped village hall hosting a variety of activities, a library, and educational facilities for all age groups - ranging from primary schools to a sixth form, along with the independent Langley Prep School. The village also offers a doctor’s surgery, veterinary practice, pharmacy, dentist, scout hut, public house, and a good selection of shops and food outlets.

Norwich city centre is easily accessible and offers a rich mix of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. Highlights include the magnificent Norwich Cathedral, located in The Close by the River Wensum, as well as a wide array of restaurants, wine bars, leisure facilities, and both state and private schools.

Transportation links are excellent: Norwich’s mainline railway station - approximately 1.8 miles from the property - provides direct services to London Liverpool Street and regular connections to Cambridge. The Southern Bypass (A47) offers easy access westward to the Midlands and south via the A11 and M11 to London. To the north, Norwich International Airport provides regular domestic and European flights, with onward worldwide connections.
