Location

Aldborough is a thriving agricultural village in North Norfolk, just three miles west of the A140 between Aylsham and Cromer. Steeped in history, its name is thought to have Viking origins, and it appears in the Domesday Book with Roger Bigod listed as landowner. At the heart of the village is a traditional Green with a pond, surrounded by houses spanning from the 14th to the 20th century, creating a timeless setting and focal point for community life.

The village is well-served with everyday amenities, including a shop, post office, pub, surgery, primary school, and parish church, alongside a range of clubs and events that foster a strong community spirit.

Set amidst rolling countryside, Aldborough offers scenic walks, cycling routes, and easy access to the nearby Weavers’ Way trail. The North Norfolk coast, with the sandy beaches and fresh seafood of Cromer, lies only a short drive away. Excellent road connections via the A140 provide links south to Norwich, with its cultural attractions and rail services to London, and north to the coast.

Aldborough offers the perfect balance of rural charm, local history, and modern convenience, making it an attractive place to call home.

The Green

Upon entering this beautifully restored home, you are immediately struck by the care and craftsmanship that has gone into every detail. The property has been much improved over the years and now offers a flowing ground-floor layout that blends period charm with modern refinements. From its pamment flooring and exposed beams to its sash windows and bespoke fittings, this is a home that celebrates its heritage while offering a high standard of presentation throughout.

The entrance hall, with pamment flooring, underfloor heating, spotlights and an electric Velux skylight, sets the tone for the rest of the house-bright, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. Off the hall lies a re-fitted downstairs shower room, featuring a modern suite with a drench-head shower, wall-hung wash basin, low-level WC, built-in cupboard and double-glazed window.

At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for both family living and entertaining. The bespoke fitted kitchen includes quartz worktops, a walk-in pantry, an oil-fired aga, plumbing for a dishwasher, and space for a fridge/freezer. The adjoining dining area enjoys double-aspect views, Velux skylights, and sliding doors to the rear and side, creating a seamless connection with the garden. Pamment flooring with underfloor heating continues through this space, adding comfort and character.

The lounge, a triple-aspect room, features a curved sash window, exposed beams, and a wood-burner stove inset into a traditional brick fireplace. This inviting space also benefits from pamment flooring, a TV point, and an under-stairs cupboard.

From here, a characterful Norfolk winder staircase leads to the first floor.

Upstairs, the landing reveals exposed timbers and wooden flooring, leading to three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom One is generously sized with a curved sash window, while Bedroom Two is a double-aspect room with fitted wardrobes and access to a Jack & Jill en-suite bathroom. The en-suite comprises a bath, vanity unit with wash basin, low-level WC, radiator, and wooden flooring. Bedroom Three completes the first-floor accommodation, offering versatility for guests, children, or a home office.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A wooden gate opens onto a generous, fully enclosed garden that has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully landscaped. A brick pathway meanders through well-stocked beds and a vegetable garden, providing a tranquil retreat.

A range of outbuildings enhances the property’s appeal, including a games room with wood-effect flooring and spotlights, a home office with exposed beams, skylights, and heating, a utility room with sink and plumbing, and a log store.

These versatile spaces lend themselves to work-from-home setups, hobbies, or potential additional accommodation.

With off-road parking, a blend of old and new, and an abundance of characterful features, this home offers not only comfort and practicality but also a wonderful lifestyle in a setting full of warmth and individuality.
