The Location

Set in north Norfolk, Smallburgh is a straightforward, friendly village set within The Broads National Park. It’s surrounded by open countryside and close to the waterways that make this part of the county so well known, but it isn’t cut off or remote. Life here feels steady and unhurried, without being isolated.

The village sits less than seven miles from the Norfolk coast, so places like the beaches at Sea Palling and Waxham are an easy drive. It’s also about fourteen miles north-east of Norwich, which means shopping, entertainment, healthcare and rail connections are all within reach. The nearby town of Stalham provides everyday essentials, including shops, schools and services, so most practical needs are covered close to home.

Within Smallburgh itself, there’s a parish church and a primary school, along with a village hall that supports local events and activities. The village is also home to a traditional pub, providing a welcoming place for residents and visitors to meet, eat and socialise. Like many Norfolk villages, it’s a place where people tend to know one another and where community life ticks along quietly in the background.

Road connections are simple and practical, with country roads linking to the wider network across north Norfolk. Public transport options are more limited, as you’d expect in a rural setting, but nearby towns offer bus services into Norwich and surrounding areas.

Yarmouth Road, Smallburgh

Tucked away in a wonderfully private position within the Broadland village of Smallburgh, this charming detached period home enjoys a secluded setting away from the road, surrounded by generous gardens and mature greenery.

Occupying grounds of approximately 0.4 acres (STMS), the property offers an enviable combination of character, space and versatility, creating a superb family home in a highly desirable location with easy access to both the Norfolk Broads and the beautiful North Norfolk coastline.

The accommodation has evolved over time to create a home that balances period charm with practical modern living. At its heart is a beautifully arranged kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of storage and workspace, while a walk-in larder provides excellent additional pantry storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, a useful utility room ensures day-to-day household tasks can be kept separate from the main living areas, while a boot room and cloakroom add further practicality, particularly for families and those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

The property benefits from a selection of inviting reception rooms, each with its own individual character. The formal dining room is ideal for family meals and entertaining, featuring attractive period details and useful built-in storage.

A cosy snug provides the perfect retreat during the colder months, centred around a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and atmosphere. Beyond, the impressive living room offers an exceptional amount of space for relaxing and socialising, with a second wood-burning stove creating a striking focal point. French doors open directly onto the gardens, allowing the outside space to become a natural extension of the home during the warmer months.

The conservatory enjoys delightful views across the gardens and provides a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the changing seasons. Filled with natural light, it offers a seamless connection to the outdoor space and enhances the flexibility of the accommodation.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with five bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook over the gardens and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families, visiting guests or those seeking work-from-home space, while the family bathroom serves the household with ease.

A particularly appealing feature of the landing is a dedicated area perfectly suited as a reading corner, study space or quiet retreat overlooking the grounds.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Extending around the home, they provide a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. Expanses of lawn are complemented by mature trees, established shrubs and attractive planting, creating colour and interest throughout the seasons.

A striking red brick wall partially divides the grounds, lending character and definition while enhancing the property's sense of history. A gravelled terrace adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee or summer entertaining.

Further enhancing the property's appeal is an excellent range of outbuildings located towards the rear of the grounds. Incorporating a garage, workshop space, storage areas and a dedicated office, these buildings offer tremendous versatility for a variety of lifestyles, whether for home working, hobbies, storage or practical family use.
