The Property
Set behind a striking gated entrance and nestled within approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds (STMS), Birch House is an exceptional six-bedroom home that perfectly blends timeless architectural charm with the ease and sophistication of contemporary living.
Extending to nearly 5,000 sq. ft. this substantial residence has been finished to an impeccable standard throughout. From the moment you step inside, the sense of scale and attention to detail is immediately apparent. A grand entrance hall sets the tone — spacious, welcoming, and flooded with natural light — with a magnificent three-storey solid oak staircase providing a true architectural centrepiece.
The interiors combine clean, modern lines with rich character features. Exposed reclaimed timber beams bring warmth and texture, while the stunning oversized reclaimed fireplace in the sitting room anchors the space with timeless presence and style — an ideal setting for both entertaining and quiet evenings by the fire.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room – a beautifully designed and highly practical space. Bespoke cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and natural materials create a seamless blend of luxury and function. Twin sets of bi-folding doors open onto the west-facing terrace, framing uninterrupted countryside views and providing effortless indoor-outdoor living year-round.
A dedicated formal dining room offers a refined setting for special occasions, while the luxurious cinema room presents a relaxed space to enjoy family film nights or evening entertainment.
Upstairs, six generous bedrooms are spread across the home, three of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms. Each room offers its own charm and outlook, with well-proportioned layouts, high-quality finishes and thoughtful design details throughout. The principal suite is a calm and elegant retreat with views over the grounds and rolling fields beyond.
Externally
Outside, the gardens have been landscaped with the same care and quality as the interiors. The west-facing rear garden enjoys total privacy and glorious sunsets, making it the ideal setting for summer gatherings or quiet relaxation. A bespoke outdoor kitchen offers a fantastic space for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a children’s play area makes this an ideal family home.
Additional features include a double garage, a large driveway with ample off-road parking, and a private, gated entrance which not only enhances the sense of arrival but adds a further layer of privacy and security.
Birch House is a rare find — a home of real presence and proportion, perfectly tailored for modern family life. Whether you’re hosting guests, working from home, or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside, this is a home designed to elevate every day.
For those seeking space, style and serenity in equal measure, Birch House offers a truly outstanding opportunity in one of Norfolk’s most picturesque rural settings.
