Impressive Detached Home in the heart of Burnham Market

BIRKWOOD

Situated just to the south of the village green but only a very short walk from all of the wonderful amenities that Burnham Market has to offer, Birkwood is a beautiful remodelled, double fronted Georgian style house with an abundance of living and entertaining space within.

Upon entering the house you are greeted by a wide and welcoming entrance hall that opens out into a central hallway, encompassing the grand staircase. You are naturally drawn towards the rear of the property and the most important room of any family home, the kitchen/dining room. Exceptionally generous in its proportions, this room neatly divides into three distinct living spaces. There is the bespoke handmade kitchen on one side with a huge expanse of workspace as well as a large island that doubles as a more intimate breakfast bar for cosy kitchen suppers.

Opposite this is the dining area with ample room for a dining table that could comfortably seat ten and then at the far end is the seating area where guests can relax while enjoying a cocktail or you can keep an eye on the little ones while you prepare a meal. As well as being perfectly designed for modern family living, this room also has the benefit of having three sets of bi-fold doors so, come those balmy summer days, open them all up and allow a cool breeze to gently flow through.

To the front of the house, and flanking that wonderful entrance hall, there is a sitting room on one side ideal for cosy nights in front of a film and on the other side is a large study for peace and quiet when working from home.

Follow the grand staircase up to the equally generous landing that is typical of a Georgian style house. Up here there are four large double bedroom suites with the principal bedroom being quietly situated to the rear, so best to enjoy views out over the village playing field. As well as having a walk-in dressing room, this suite also has a large bathroom with bath and separate rain shower.

As you would expect for a house of this size, there is both a boot room entrance, perfect after a muddy winter’s walk or day on the beach, as well as another entrance through the utility room and pantry, ideal for bringing in the weekly shop. Outside, and as well as off street parking to the front, there is also a garage store and carport to the side. The garden is completely enclosed and is patioed off the kitchen family room whilst the remainder is laid to lawn.

BURNHAM MARKET

Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world-famous horse trials, or an afternoon browsing pretty boutiques-there are many ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel of north Norfolk.

Located near the River Burn, the village is historically linked to Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived nearby in Burnham Thorpe.

Refined elegance defines village life. Traditional homewares at Uttings, tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli, or Gurneys Fish Shop, and handpicked wines at Satchells - this place savours the finer things. Dining out is a joy with award-winning Socius offering British-inspired tapas, and NoTwenty9’s bar and restaurant providing a relaxed spot for summer evenings.

Fashion thrives on the Champagne coast. For chic style, head to Anna’s boutique, The Hat Shop for fancy headwear, Gun Hill Clothing Company for country attire, or Joules and Jack Wills for casual wear. For culture, explore Burnham Market’s art galleries-the Fairfax Gallery and Pococks the Artmonger. If you have little ones, visit Mable’s sweet shop for traditional sweets.

Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe, and Burnham Thorpe, boast some of the finest houses on the coast. Whether your dream is a Georgian classic, a traditional cottage, or a sleek contemporary house, this is a perfect place to discover your forever home.

AVOCET HOMES

Founded by Tim King, Michael Jackson and Chris Mann, Avocet Homes has built an enviable reputation as a developer that takes a little more time to study its sites and design the perfect layout. They consider carefully how future occupants will use their homes and will never compromise on the quality of materials, construction, and finishing touches – these are the defining factors of an Avocet Homes property.

Initially, Michael and Tim worked together on several properties before joining forces on a series of barn conversions, followed by the development of two new-build houses.

With Chris joining the business as a director, Avocet Homes embarked on its first large project with the development of eight homes at Avocet Drive, Snettisham – a project so successful that every property was sold in one weekend.

Considered and well-thought, each of Avocet Homes’ subsequent projects has been approached with the same high standard and careful attention to detail, which has become a hallmark of the brand. Alongside the directors, Avocet Homes’ in-house construction and joinery teams take immense pride in crafting quality homes and working with Norfolk homeowners to deliver the same high standards.
