3 bed detached house for sale

Aylsham Road, North Walsham NR28

Behind its gates, a secret lingers - a Victorian home once built for a master of stone, now reimagined with grace and comfort. Hidden from the road yet moments from the heart of North Walsham, it is a retreat that balances heritage with modern ease. The kitchen diner steals the show, where quartz worktops, vaulted ceilings, and pendant-lit island create a space both theatrical and welcoming. Bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between house and garden, inviting life to spill effortlessly outdoors. Beyond, the conservatory, study, and bay-fronted sitting room offer light, warmth, and quiet corners for every mood. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a boutique-style bathroom with roll-top bath speak of indulgence and ease. Outside, south-facing gardens bloom with orchards, wisteria, and colour, wrapping the home in privacy. With garage, parking, and everything the town and coast within reach, this is a house that whispers history and celebrates life.

The Location

Set within a sought-after corner of North Walsham, this home enjoys all the benefits of a thriving market town celebrated for its community spirit, rich heritage, and welcoming atmosphere. Everyday life is made effortless, with supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, and a leisure centre complete with gym and swimming pool all close at hand.

Yet beyond the bustle, the great outdoors beckons. From here, you are perfectly placed to explore the scenic Norfolk countryside, wander the waterways of the picturesque Norfolk Broads, or escape to the coast, just a short drive away. Sandy beaches, big skies, and timeless landscapes lie within easy reach, giving you the best of both worlds - vibrant town life and the serenity of nature.

Aylsham Road, North Walsham

Step through the gates and into a home that wears its history with pride and its beauty with ease. Once the Stone Mason’s House, this Victorian gem now stands as a rare retreat, a place where craftsmanship and character meet modern comfort in the most seamless of ways.

Hidden from the road yet close to every convenience, it feels like a secret waiting to be discovered.

The heart of the house beats in the kitchen diner, a space that defies the ordinary. Quartz worktops gleam beneath vaulted ceilings, light pours in from Velux windows above, and a set of striking bi-folding doors open wide to let the garden spill inside. A central island anchors the room, its pendant lighting casting a warm glow across the space - a subtle stage light for life’s best moments: Laughter around the table, sunlight breakfasts, and late-night glasses of wine with the doors flung open to the night air.

With every detail considered, from the Villeroy and Boch sink to the warmth of underfloor heating, this is more than a kitchen. It is theatre, sanctuary, and gathering place all at once.

Beyond lies a series of spaces that invite connection. A sitting room with bay window frames the greenery outside while offering the promise of roaring fires and quiet evenings. The conservatory, drenched in light, welcomes you with a door framed by beautiful stained glass windows - a detail that catches the eye and floods the space with colour. A dedicated study waits to become your creative hub or reading escape.

Practicality is no afterthought here. The utility room, complete with a shower, is given its own touch of charm with a stable door that opens into a porch - proof that even the humblest of spaces has been treated with care.

Upstairs, three bedrooms unfold with a sense of ease and proportion. The family bathroom has all the drama of a boutique hotel - a freestanding roll-top bath with claw feet, a separate digital shower, and solid wood flooring underfoot. It’s a space for indulgence, for long soaks.

And then, the gardens. South-facing and alive with colour, they wrap around the home in a cloak of privacy. Mature trees stand alongside a young orchard, flower beds explode with life, and paved terraces offer endless excuses for dining under the sky.

Sunshine follows you from morning coffee to evening cocktails, while wisteria trails gracefully across the façade, softening brick and stone with its seasonal charm.

Practicalities are quietly taken care of too: A garage, off-road parking, and easy access to North Walsham’s vibrant town centre. Shops, schools, cafés, a train to Norwich or the coast - everything you could need is right on your doorstep, though once inside this sanctuary, the world feels a little further away.

This is not just a house. It is history reborn with soul and a family home where every detail has been considered. It is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often - a hidden gem waiting to be lived in, loved, and celebrated.
