Only Two Detached Homes Available at Oakridge, Great Bircham

DETACHED HOMES AT OAKRIDGE

These two impressive double-fronted detached homes share the same thoughtfully designed layout, each extending to almost 2,000 sq. ft. and arranged as an ‘upside down’ home to make the most of the far-reaching countryside views. One is finished in traditional brick and flint, while the other has a red brick exterior, offering a choice of character while retaining the same generous accommodation within.

On the ground floor, all of the principal rooms lead from a central entrance hall. Each of the three bedrooms is a generous double and benefits from its own en-suite, while a separate home office provides a quiet space for working from home. There is also a practical utility room positioned beside the back door, ideally placed for returning home after a walk through the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the open-plan living space is undoubtedly the heart of the home. With its vaulted ceiling and abundance of natural light, it creates an impressive setting for everyday living and entertaining. The space naturally divides into three distinct areas, with a contemporary kitchen centred around a sociable island, a dedicated dining area and a comfortable sitting space positioned to take in the sweeping south-facing views across the North Norfolk countryside.

With just two detached homes available, now is a wonderful opportunity to discover this distinctive house type.

Great Bircham is a charming village, with a local deli and pub within walking distance for morning coffees and memorable evenings with friends.

PROVEN EXPERTISE

Strand Homes brings together extensive experience in development, construction & project management, supported by a practical understanding of what is needed to keep a build running smoothly from start to finish.

The business was originally established as Strand Development Limited, providing quantity surveying, estimating & project management consultancy services. After several years of supporting clients with their own developments, the company naturally expanded into full construction services.

This background gives Strand Homes a thorough understanding of both the planning behind each project & the detail required on site. With experience across groundworks, domestic, commercial, demolition & housebuilding sectors, the team has established a strong reputation across East Anglia for quality, adaptability & a clear, client-focused approach.

ROOTED IN HISTORY WITH RURAL CONVENIENCE

Great Bircham is a characterful Norfolk village with a strong sense of identity and a welcoming community at its heart. Bircham Stores & Café provides a much-valued general store, deli and café, while the King’s Head offers a relaxed setting for drinks, dining and time spent with friends. The village Social Club is another popular meeting place, supported by local volunteers and a varied calendar of activities.

One of the village’s best-known landmarks is Bircham Windmill. Built in 1846 and carefully restored, the working mill retains its traditional character, alongside its bakery, tearooms and family attractions. St Mary the Virgin Church has watched over the village for centuries and remains an important part of community life, with the annual French Fair bringing residents and visitors together for food, crafts and entertainment.

The surrounding area also has a fascinating aviation heritage. Nearby RAF Bircham Newton opened in 1918 and later served as an important Coastal Command station during the Second World War. Its story is now preserved through the RAF Bircham Newton Heritage Centre, which brings together photographs, memorabilia and personal accounts connected with the former airfield.

King’s Lynn railway station is approximately 12 miles away, providing direct services to Cambridge and London King’s Cross, with the capital reachable in under two hours.

Norwich Airport is the nearest passenger airport, offering flights to a range of destinations alongside onward international connections. The Sandringham Estate, Burnham Market and the North Norfolk coast are also within easy reach, while King’s Lynn provides a wider choice of shops, leisure facilities and everyday services.

With strong road links across West and North Norfolk, Great Bircham offers the balance of rural village life with convenient access to the coast, countryside and larger towns.
