"We've loved how peaceful it is here, the only sounds are birds and nature around you," say the current owners of this remarkable Victorian home, dating back to the 1890s and occupying a prominent corner plot on one of Wroxham's most desirable roads. Rich in original character and period charm, the property offers seven bedrooms, four reception rooms and a beautifully refurbished self-contained two-bedroom annex, creating an exceptional amount of versatile living space. Mature gardens, extensive parking and a detached double garage further enhance its appeal, while the home's tranquil setting is complemented by excellent neighbours and a genuine sense of community. Conveniently positioned close to the River Bure, local amenities and Norwich, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful family residence in the heart of the Norfolk Broads.

An Enviable Broads Lifestyle with Outstanding Amenities on Your Doorstep

Perfectly positioned on sought-after Staitheway Road in the heart of Wroxham, this property enjoys an exceptional waterside setting overlooking the River Bure and Marina, offering a lifestyle that is synonymous with the very best of Norfolk Broads living. Despite being moments from the village centre and its excellent amenities, the area retains an incredibly peaceful atmosphere, where the sounds of passing boats, birdsong and local wildlife often replace the noise of everyday life.

Known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads, Wroxham is highly regarded for its unique blend of waterside charm and convenience. The property is within easy walking distance of the village's superb range of amenities, including the famous Roys stores, independent shops, popular cafés, restaurants and traditional riverside pubs. Whether enjoying a morning coffee at one of the village's welcoming cafés or an evening meal overlooking the water, everything needed for day-to-day living and leisure is close at hand.

For boating enthusiasts, the location is particularly appealing. The extensive Broads network is right on the doorstep, providing endless opportunities for sailing, cruising, paddleboarding and memorable days out on the water exploring picturesque villages, riverside pubs and nature reserves throughout the region. The Marina and numerous boating facilities nearby further enhance the area's reputation as one of Norfolk's premier waterside destinations.

Connectivity is another significant advantage. Wroxham Train Station is conveniently close by, offering regular services into Norwich and connecting onwards to the wider rail network, making commuting and city visits straightforward. A variety of local bus routes also serve the area, providing easy access to neighbouring villages and surrounding amenities.

Families are well catered for with a selection of respected schooling options available in Wroxham, Hoveton and the surrounding Broadland villages, while Norwich offers further education opportunities and independent schooling choices.

The nearby Northern Distributor Road (NDR) is a particular highlight and has been something the current vendors have especially appreciated during their ownership, providing quick and convenient access around Norwich and beyond. The excellent road links also make travelling to Norfolk's renowned coastline effortless, with destinations such as Sea Palling, Happisburgh, Cromer and Sheringham all within comfortable reach for days at the beach, coastal walks and seaside dining.

A Landmark Victorian Residence in One of Wroxham's Most Desirable Locations

Occupying a prominent corner plot within one of Wroxham's most desirable residential locations, this substantial Victorian residence dates back to the 1890s and offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine scale, character and versatility. Extending to approximately 4,282 sq. ft., the property provides seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, four bathrooms and a beautifully refurbished self-contained two-bedroom annex, all set within mature gardens with extensive parking and a detached double garage.

Positioned just moments from the River Bure and the heart of Wroxham, the property enjoys the best of both worlds. The peaceful surroundings create a tranquil setting where birdsong and local wildlife are often the most prominent sounds, yet the village's excellent amenities, transport connections and waterways are all within easy reach.

The current owners have particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, the excellent neighbours, the wide range of nearby amenities and the ease of access to both Norwich and the Northern Distributor Road.

Reception Hall & Principal Living Spaces

The accommodation is entered via an impressive reception hall, immediately showcasing the generous proportions and period character synonymous with Victorian architecture. The hallway is enhanced by practical grey carpeting, which complements the home's traditional features while creating a welcoming first impression.

The sitting room serves as the principal reception space and provides an elegant setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Featuring an attractive bay window, high ceilings and period detailing, the room enjoys an abundance of natural light and a wonderful sense of grandeur that reflects the home's Victorian heritage.

A particularly versatile second reception room extends to over 21 feet in length and is currently arranged as a bedroom with a small lounge area positioned within the bay window. Its generous proportions offer exceptional flexibility, allowing it to function as a substantial family room, formal sitting room, games room, home office suite or ground-floor bedroom, depending on a purchaser's individual requirements.

Completing the reception accommodation is a substantial dining room, ideal for family celebrations and entertaining on a larger scale. The room benefits from grey carpeting and provides convenient access into the kitchen, creating a highly practical layout for both everyday family life and hosting guests. Alongside this is a separate study, providing an excellent work-from-home space, library or snug.

Throughout the ground floor, many original Victorian features remain in place, offering a wonderful foundation for a buyer wishing to sympathetically restore and modernise the property over time while preserving its inherent character and charm.

Kitchen, Utility & Supporting Accommodation

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the practical heart of the home and has already benefited from modernisation. Finished in a neutral colour palette, the kitchen offers a timeless and versatile aesthetic, complemented by attractive herringbone flooring that adds both style and character.

The room provides excellent workspace and an impressive amount of storage, alongside ample space for informal dining and day-to-day family life.

A range of integrated appliances have been incorporated, including built-in refrigeration, dishwasher, multiple ovens and a built-in microwave, while a central island provides additional preparation space and creates a natural focal point for cooking and socialising.

Supporting the kitchen is a useful pantry, separate utility room and additional storage areas, all helping the property cater easily to the demands of a large family home.

Bedroom Accommodation & Bathrooms

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors, providing excellent flexibility for families, guests and multi-generational living. All of the bedrooms are well-proportioned, offering comfortable and versatile spaces that can easily adapt to a purchaser's individual requirements.

The first floor hosts four bedrooms, including two particularly generous double bedrooms which benefit from en-suite facilities. Additional bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, shower room and separate WC, ensuring practical accommodation for larger households.

A balcony accessed from the landing provides an appealing feature and an opportunity to enjoy views across the surrounding grounds.

The second floor continues the impressive accommodation with three further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. This upper floor would work particularly well for older children, visiting guests or those seeking independent living space within the home.

Whilst the bathrooms and en-suite facilities would now benefit from modernisation, they present an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create luxurious contemporary suites tailored to their own tastes and requirements.

Equally, there is scope to retain and enhance original features, such as the fireplace within one of the en-suites, allowing the character and history of the home to be beautifully incorporated into any future refurbishment.

The Self-Contained Annex

One of the property's standout features is the detached self-contained annex.

Beautifully refurbished to a modern standard, the annex provides two bedrooms alongside spacious open-plan living accommodation and independent facilities. At its heart is a stylish fully fitted contemporary kitchen, complete with breakfast bar seating, which flows seamlessly into the living area to create a highly sociable and versatile space.

French doors open directly onto a private outdoor seating area, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The accommodation is finished to a high standard throughout, with practical hard flooring extending through the kitchen and living areas, while the two bedrooms benefit from soft grey carpeting for added comfort.

The modern four-piece bathroom is particularly striking, featuring contrasting white wall tiles with black grout, creating a stylish and contemporary aesthetic.

Importantly, the annex benefits from its own separate entrance, dedicated driveway with parking for two vehicles, enclosed private garden space and a separate boiler. The complete separation from the main residence creates exceptional versatility.

The accommodation could be ideal for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, long-term guests, independent family members, those seeking flexible home-working arrangements, or potentially as an income-generating opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.

Gardens, Garaging & Parking

The property occupies an excellent corner plot with mature gardens wrapping around the house, creating a strong sense of privacy and seclusion. Well set back from the road and positioned within a particularly quiet setting, the property enjoys a peaceful atmosphere despite its highly convenient location.

Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established laurel planting, the grounds provide ample space for family enjoyment while requiring relatively straightforward maintenance. The mature surroundings further enhance the feeling of privacy, creating an attractive outdoor environment for both relaxation and entertaining.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides parking for approximately ten vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, making the property particularly well suited to larger families and those who regularly entertain guests.

Situated on the well-regarded Staitheway Road, the property benefits from being within easy reach of the town centre and its amenities, while remaining sufficiently tucked away to enjoy a quieter and more private setting.

A Word From The Vendors

"We've loved living here because it truly is a beautiful part of the world. Despite being close to everything you need, the area remains incredibly peaceful and quiet, with excellent neighbours and a real sense of community.

Wroxham offers such a great selection of amenities, from Roys and local shops to cafés and everyday conveniences, while the transport links have always been excellent. We've particularly appreciated the easy access to both Norwich and the NDR, along with the excellent local bus routes.

One of our favourite things has been the wildlife. It's remarkable how often the only sounds are birds and nature around you. The house itself is full of character, with lovely period features, high ceilings and wonderfully spacious rooms. We have always felt it is a beautiful Victorian home with enormous potential, and we believe it will be absolutely stunning when the next owners complete its journey and make it their own."
