LOCATION

Brundall is a highly desirable village that offers a wide array of amenities. It features a village shop, local pubs, restaurants, takeaways, a post office, school, and train station, along with access to the Broads. Residents can also find dental and doctor surgeries, as well as various high street stores. Additionally, the village's close proximity to the A47 provides convenient access to most of the county.

Access to the Broads can be obtained from either Brundall, located on the River Yare, or Wroxham, recognized as the central hub of the Broads network, approximately 8 miles away. Brundall is conveniently positioned near the cathedral city of Norwich, which is about 7 miles to the west. Norwich provides a diverse array of cultural and leisure activities, along with a main line rail connection to London Liverpool Street and an international airport. Great Yarmouth, roughly 12 miles to the east, features 5 miles of sandy beaches. The seafront includes the Marina and Sea Life Centre, as well as various rides, shops, and amusement arcades.

HISTORY

Built in 1925 for Captain Sandys-Winsch, a distinguished landscape architect responsible for several Norwich parks, featuring south-facing gardens designed by him. Over the past century, it has had only four long-term families as residents. The current owners value the village location for its independence for their children and the convenience of walking to the train station and Strumpshaw Fen nature reserve. Though it feels secluded, the property is well-connected, with Brundall's proximity to Norfolk beaches being a significant advantage.
