Chain Free in South Walsham

Field House is an impressive and beautifully positioned home, set on an elevated plot with far-reaching views towards South Walsham Broad and beyond. Offering plenty of potential, there’s exciting scope to extend upwards (subject to the necessary consents), which could unlock truly breathtaking vistas. That said, the property as it stands already offers spacious and well-balanced accommodation, ideal for a variety of lifestyles.

Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property enjoys a generous parking area with access to a covered cart lodge and garage. The ground floor accommodation is both expansive and filled with natural light throughout. The L-shaped family room provides distinct zones for dining and relaxation, complemented by an open fireplace, while double doors lead through to a stunning vaulted sitting room. This beautiful space features a central fireplace with wood-burning stove for the cooler months, and double doors opening onto the rear terrace for summer entertaining.

The modern, well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is a keen cook’s dream, offering ample storage and generous workspace. The three ground floor bedrooms are conveniently grouped together, one benefiting from a contemporary en-suite, with a separate modern family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.

Upstairs, a useful study area opens onto a balcony with delightful views - a perfect spot for morning coffee or quiet reflection. The first floor also houses the principal bedroom suite, complete with a walk-through dressing room and a superb en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 0.8 acres (STMS), with sweeping lawns, mature planting, and established boundary hedging. A well-appointed rear terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, while a charming greenhouse sits nestled within the garden. For boating enthusiasts, there is access to a nearby slipway (available for a small fee), and local moorings can be arranged - costs may vary.

SOUTH WALSHAM
South Walsham, a charming Broadland village, is perfect for those who enjoy sailing or paddle-boarding. Located a mile from South Walsham Broad, it features Fleet Dyke with free 24-hour moorings for exploration. A footpath leads around the Broad’s staithe, suitable for rowing boats, revealing a green surrounded by thatched cottages.

The village boasts a hall with regular events, a bar, and function room, The Viking. A recreation ground hosts a football pitch, cricket club, and play areas for children, with a Pre-School and Primary School nearby.

Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, once part of the South Walsham Estate, served as a WWII convalescent home before its transformation by Major Henry Broughton, 2nd Lord Fairhaven. Over 15 years, he restored it into a stunning garden, opened to the public in 1975. Visitors can enjoy its award-winning tearoom and gift shop selling local produce.

Two medieval churches, St Mary’s (13th century) and St Lawrence’s (14th century), share a churchyard. St Mary’s is still in use, while St Lawrence’s, damaged by fire in 1827, is now a centre for training and the arts.

Close to Norwich and Norfolk’s beaches and forests, South Walsham offers a quintessential village lifestyle with excellent rail links and rural charm.
