DESCRIPTION

The ground floor of Hawthorn House immediately impresses with its sense of scale, light and thoughtful design, perfectly suited to modern family living.

A spacious and welcoming entrance hall (16’2 x 13’3) sets the tone, featuring a striking split staircase rising to the first floor with elegant galleried landings above. Cleverly designed built-in storage cupboards beneath the staircase provide practical everyday convenience, while a well-appointed downstairs cloakroom (4’9 x 4’9) is positioned discreetly off the hall.

The versatility of the accommodation is evident from the outset. A generously proportioned dual-aspect reception room (12’9 x 11’10) offers flexibility as a formal dining room, study or playroom, flooded with natural light and adaptable to suit a family’s changing needs.

The principal sitting room 23’9 x 17’3) is a superb triple-aspect space, bathed in natural light throughout the day and offering generous proportions for both relaxing and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors, while a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point for the colder months — the perfect balance of elegance and comfort.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area (26’11 x 17’1) — a superbly proportioned space designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Two sets of bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the rear terrace, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and creating a wonderful setting for summer gatherings.

The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of built-in base and wall cabinetry, complemented by a classic butler sink and a range cooker. There is space for a freestanding American-style fridge freezer, while a large central island incorporates an additional built-in refrigerator and provides excellent preparation and storage space. The room comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table, creating a true family hub for everyday meals and entertaining alike.

Leading directly from the kitchen is a practical utility room (13’3 x 7’5) fitted with further built-in cabinetry, a sink, and space and plumbing for two appliances. A door provides convenient access to the garden, making it ideal for muddy boots, pets, or everyday family life.

With underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and double-glazed windows enhancing comfort and efficiency, this beautifully arranged space combines style, practicality and contemporary living in equal measure.

The first floor continues the home’s theme of light, space and well-considered design, with four generous double bedrooms, each enjoying dual-aspect views that create a wonderfully bright and airy feel throughout.

The principal bedroom (16’8 x 15’11) is particularly impressive, benefitting from an easterly aspect overlooking the rear garden and the countryside beyond. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an attractive outlook. A walk-in wardrobe offers excellent storage, while the stylish en suite is fitted with a large walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Bedroom two (17’0 x 11’1) is positioned to the front of the property and features a built-in double wardrobe along with its own en suite, comprising a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and heated towel rail — ideal for guests or older children seeking independence.

Bedrooms three (13’4 x 11’8) and four (17’1 x 11’8) are also well-proportioned doubles, with bedroom three overlooking the front of the property and bedroom four enjoying a rear aspect. Both rooms offer flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working.

The family bathroom (13’3 x 7’3) is beautifully appointed and serves the remaining bedrooms, featuring a classic roll-top bath, separate walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail — combining traditional style with modern comfort.

Altogether, the first floor provides generous and versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to the needs of a growing or established family.

OUTSIDE

Set back from the road and screened by mature natural hedging, this attractive home enjoys a welcoming approach and impressive frontage. Electric gates open onto a generous driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to a detached double garage, with light and power points and fully boarded roof space which offers excellent additional storage.

Well-maintained lawns extend to the side and rear, creating a delightful outdoor setting, while a paved terrace provides the perfect space for al fresco dining and entertaining. A substantial high-quality timber cabin (25’4 x 22’0), constructed from premium materials with exceptional craftsmanship, is equipped with light and power points — offering an ideal environment for remote working, a studio, or gym. In addition, an elevated octagonal summer house (11’0 x 11’0) on stilts adds further character and versatility to the garden.

All complemented by attractive views, this property successfully combines practicality with an enjoyable outdoor lifestyle.

SITUATION

The large village of Taverham sits along the River Wensum and offering 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 7.8 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.
