5 bed detached house for sale

Anchor House, Anchor Road, Spa Common, North Walsham, Norfolk NR28

Once the village’s public house and believed to date back to around 1880, this impressive detached residence has been thoughtfully converted to offer versatile and spacious accommodation, perfectly suited to the needs of a modern family. Rich in character and history, the property retains its original charm while delivering all the comfort and convenience expected of a contemporary home. Ideally located near the thriving market town of North Walsham, the property benefits from easy access to a wide range of local amenities, including schools for all ages, a train and bus station, supermarkets, leisure facilities, medical practices, and more.

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a low-maintenance frontage providing off-road parking and access to a former garage, currently used for storage but easily reinstated for vehicle use if desired. To the rear, a covered terrace provides a welcoming space for alfresco dining and entertaining, leading out to a spacious lawned garden bordered by mature trees and established shrubs, offering both privacy and room for outdoor enjoyment.

Inside, the accommodation is equally generous and flexible. An enclosed porch leads into a large lounge featuring a wood-burning fireplace and double doors that open directly to the rear garden, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxation. From here, access is granted to a ground floor bedroom with an adjoining study, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The well-proportioned kitchen flows into a dedicated dining room with double doors opening to the front porch, while a separate utility room, store, and rear hall with a bath and shower room add further practicality to the ground floor. Upstairs, the accommodation continues with four additional bedrooms, two of which feature built-in storage, and a cloakroom, providing comfortable and adaptable family living space.

The property’s appeal is further enhanced by its proximity to Norfolk’s stunning coastline, just six miles away, and the picturesque Norfolk Broads, approximately ten miles to the south. The cathedral city of Norwich, with its vibrant retail, dining, cultural attractions, and transport links, is just eighteen miles away—making this an ideal base for enjoying both countryside and city life.
