The elegance of a Edwardian residence, the flow of a contemporary family home, and the connectivity of Norwich's finest residential setting, Framingham House is all three, seamlessly combined.
Positioned along Long Road, widely regarded as one of Norwich's most prestigious and desirable addresses, Framingham House is a striking, newly renovated Edwardian home that has been comprehensively reimagined to meet the demands of modern family life, while retaining the gravitas, scale and character that only a period property can offer. Extending to over 4200 sq ft across three beautifully arranged floors, this is a house that delivers both presence and practicality in equal measure.
Homes of this calibre, offering such generous proportions, architectural character and proximity to Norwich, are exceptionally rare. Here, you enjoy the privacy and space typically associated with country living, while remaining just minutes from the city centre, major road connections and the wider Norfolk network. It is a location that works effortlessly for professional life, family life and everything in between.
From the moment you arrive, Framingham House makes its intentions clear. Electric gates open onto a sweeping driveway, immediately setting the home back from the road and creating a sense of arrival that feels both discreet and distinguished. Mature trees line the frontage, providing natural screening and a feeling of seclusion that belies the home's superb connectivity.
Stepping inside, the house reveals its true scale. A light-filled entrance hall introduces the quality of the renovation and leads directly into the heart of the home, a vast open-plan kitchen, dining and family room designed for modern living at its very best. This is a space made for gathering, entertaining and everyday family life, anchored by a striking media wall with inset electric fireplace and flowing seamlessly into the garden beyond.
The bespoke Kestrel kitchen is both elegant and purposeful, finished with high-quality cabinetry and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including two Siemens ovens, induction hob, wine fridge and full-height fridge freezer. A central island defines the space and naturally draws people together, making this room the social centre of the home; equally suited to busy mornings, relaxed family dinners or hosting on a larger scale.
For quieter moments, the triple-aspect sitting room offers generous proportions and a refined atmosphere, centred around a gas fireplace and flooded with natural light throughout the day. A well-positioned study to the front of the house provides an ideal work-from-home environment, separated from the main living spaces yet still very much part of the home. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom and a practical utility room, ensuring everyday functionality is seamlessly woven into the design.
The first floor continues the sense of space and balance, with four generous double bedrooms arranged to suit both family living and guests. The principal bedroom is a calm and substantial retreat, served by a large en suite bathroom, while the guest bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are served by a stylish four-piece family bathroom, finished to the same high standard found throughout the house.
The second floor adds another layer of versatility. Here, two further double bedrooms and an additional shower room offer a flexible space that can adapt as needs change, ideal for older children seeking independence, long-stay guests, or alternative uses such as a cinema room, games room or home gym. It is this adaptability that makes Framingham House not just impressive today, but future-proofed for years to come.
Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 3/4 of an acre, offering both scale and privacy without becoming unmanageable. The detached double garage, fitted with twin electric roller doors, sits neatly alongside the driveway and provides secure storage and parking. The front garden remains discreet and private, while the rear garden opens into a generous lawned space, fully enclosed and ideal for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the setting. A thoughtfully positioned patio terrace creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining and summer evenings.
Framingham House is not simply a renovated period home, it is a statement of quality, location and lifestyle.

Pinewood represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, comprehensively transformed single-storey residence occupying approximately 15.5 acres of wonderfully private grounds.
Hidden from view and approached through an impressive automated gated entrance, this remarkable home enjoys an extraordinary sense of seclusion, with no immediate neighbours and extensive gardens, woodland and open land surrounding the property.
The original dwelling has been significantly extended and transformed to create around 3500 sq ft of highly versatile accommodation. The result is a home designed for modern family life, multi-generational living and entertaining on a grand scale, combined with an exceptional energy infrastructure that helps keep annual running costs remarkably low.
There are homes that simply provide somewhere to live, and then there are properties capable of offering an entirely different way of life. Pinewood unquestionably belongs in the latter category.
When the present owners acquired the property, it was a detached bungalow occupying an extraordinary parcel of land. Since then, it has been extensively enlarged, reconfigured and modernised, with considerable investment made not only in its accommodation and presentation, but also in its energy efficiency, security and future-proofing.
The property now offers approximately 3411 sq ft of accommodation arranged entirely across one level. Its versatile layout incorporates up to six bedrooms, a separate annexe-style wing, multiple bath and shower rooms, a cinema room, a large sitting room and a spectacular open-plan living space.
Despite the scale of the transformation, the greatest luxury Pinewood offers remains its setting. The house sits privately within approximately 15.5 acres, screened by established trees and completely removed from neighbouring homes. The peaceful surroundings are shared with an abundance of wildlife, creating a genuine countryside retreat within easy reach of Norwich.
The heart of the home at over is the stunning open plan kitchen dining living area. 31 ft in length and approximately 25 ft wide, the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room is the true centrepiece of Pinewood.
This exceptional space has been created for both everyday family life and large-scale entertaining. Expansive glazing and wide sliding doors frame the grounds and allow the interior to connect naturally with the terrace and outdoor entertaining areas.
A bespoke new kitchen is currently being fitted, with completion intended during 2026. Costing approximately £60,000, the design combines eucalyptus-green cabinetry, oak-effect interiors and antique-brass handles with polished Silestone work surfaces.
A substantial central island provides extensive preparation space and storage, while the repositioned 900mm-deep breakfast bar creates a properly proportioned four-seat dining area. Further bespoke touches include a framed glazed display cabinet, internally finished breakfast cupboard, oak storage baskets, drawer organisers, a recessed polished drainer and a premium flip-up worktop socket.
The lighting design incorporates illuminated plinths, recessed LEDs within the glazed cabinet, under-cabinet spotlights and internal breakfast-cupboard lighting activated automatically when the doors are opened.
The adjoining living and dining areas provide enough room for multiple seating arrangements and a substantial dining table, without compromising the tremendous feeling of openness. It is a wonderfully sociable environment where cooking, dining and relaxing can take place together, all while enjoying uninterrupted views across the grounds.
For quieter evenings, the separate sitting room extends to approximately 24 ft and is arranged around a wood-burning stove. This inviting reception room provides a more intimate alternative to the principal open-plan living space.
Two new wood burners, hearths and flues have been installed within the property at a combined cost of approximately £9,000, adding warmth and character to its contemporary interior.
A dedicated cinema room provides another private retreat, while the impressive games room extends to approximately 22 ft 8 in by 18 ft. Presently arranged with a full-size pool table and darts area, this room is ideal for entertaining but could equally serve as a gym, studio, substantial home office or sixth bedroom. The games room features its own en-suite shower room.
Air conditioning has been introduced to three areas of the house, representing a further investment of approximately £16,000.
The principal bedroom is an impressive private suite, measuring approximately 15 ft 3 in square and opening directly onto the grounds. It is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room.
Two further generous bedrooms are positioned within the principal section of the home, one of which also benefits from a jack and jill en suite. A stylish family bathroom and separate cloakroom complete this part of the accommodation.
The bathrooms have been finished with Porcelanosa tiling and Roca and Porcelanosa sanitaryware. Underfloor heating, with both manual controls and app connectivity, has been fitted throughout the bathrooms.
New double glazing has been installed across the property, including anti-glare glazing to the rear elevation.
A particularly valuable aspect of Pinewood is its ability to accommodate extended family members, older children or regular guests while maintaining privacy for everyone.
The annexe-style wing incorporates its own kitchen and living area, two bedrooms and a shower room. Beyond this you will find the large games room or sixth bedroom.
This highly adaptable section could be used as one substantial annexe or divided to provide separate spaces for different generations. It may also appeal to those requiring extensive work-from-home accommodation, leisure facilities or space from which to operate a business, subject to any necessary consents.
Pinewood has been equipped with a remarkably comprehensive energy-generation, storage, heating and hot-water system, installed at a cost of approximately £86,000.
The detached garage building supports 35 solar panels and two inverters, forming a 10kW system. The house is fitted with a further 54 Qcells 395W panels, two SolaX 10kW inverters and eight SolaX 5.4kW batteries. Together, the installations create a total system output of approximately 27kW.
Solar generation has also been integrated with two Sunamp hot-water systems, while a high-specification electric radiator system provides app-based, room-by-room control throughout the house.
According to information supplied by the seller, the approximate net annual energy cost for running the home including heating, hot water and charging two electric vehicles is currently around £1,200 after export and generation payments. The present tariff includes an export payment and a separate Feed-in Tariff relating to the garage installation. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding consumption, tariffs and whether any existing arrangements are transferable.
Privacy begins at the newly installed automated entrance gates, which are linked to the property’s CCTV and app-based access system.
A comprehensive alarm and CCTV installation protects the house, garage building and entrances. Approximately £20,000 has been invested in the security system, with a further substantial investment made in the entrance and gate arrangement.
The house also features an integrated fire-safety system incorporating combined smoke, heat and carbon-monoxide detection.
Much of the technology can be controlled remotely, allowing the owners to manage security, heating, hot water, individual room temperatures and selected lighting from connected devices.
Immediately outside the principal living space is a newly fitted outdoor kitchen and dining area, created at a cost of approximately £19,000.
This impressive entertaining space incorporates an integrated gas barbecue, fitted cupboards, electrical connections for an outdoor television and dedicated Wi-Fi coverage. App-controlled lighting and heating allow it to be enjoyed beyond the summer months, while its automated opening and closing system provides flexibility as conditions change.
The terrace looks across the private gardens and forms a natural extension of the kitchen, dining and family room.
Approximately two acres of the internal gardens are maintained by a GPS-controlled robotic lawnmower, operated through an app and costing approximately £8,000.
The grounds are fundamental to the identity of Pinewood.
Extending to approximately 15.5 acres, they combine open lawns, established woodland, mature trees and more natural areas that have become a haven for wildlife. Long views across the land reinforce the exceptional sense of separation and privacy.
The scale and varied nature of the grounds may appeal to those seeking space for equestrian, leisure, horticultural or business purposes, subject to obtaining any necessary permissions. Equally, they can simply be enjoyed as a peaceful private estate where children, animals and nature have room to flourish.
The entrance and driveway have been significantly upgraded, creating an impressive sense of arrival while ensuring that the house remains concealed from the outside world.
A detached garage building provides valuable parking and storage and accommodates part of the solar installation. Ducting has also been laid towards the new garage area and a possible future garden-office position, helping to future-proof the property for further development, subject to planning.
Additional investment includes:
A new Clearwater BioAir CW2 six-person sewage-treatment plant
Gravity drainage and an automatic filtration system connected to a ground soakaway
New double glazing throughout, including anti-glare rear glazing
Three air-conditioning units
Fully boarded loft storage with lighting and electrical power

Occupying a prime position on one of South Norwich’s most prestigious roads, this substantial detached residence sits within exceptional grounds approaching two and a half acres (stms), offering a level of space, privacy and setting that is rarely available.
Discreetly postioned from the road and set behind a gated entrance, the approach immediately sets the tone. A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the detached garaging and outbuildings,
The grounds are without question a defining feature of this home. Extending to approximately two and a half acres (stms), the gardens have been carefully arranged to offer a lifestyle like not other. The formal gardens are south facing and laid to lawn, providing a wide, open expanse ideal for family use, while established trees and deep, well-stocked borders create natural screening and a high degree of privacy.
A generous terrace spans the rear of the house, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the aspect and views across the gardens, creating a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months and a superb space for outdoor living.
As you move further into the plot, the gardens give way to a mature woodland walk, adding depth, privacy and a real sense of seclusion.
Set discreetly within the grounds is a substantial outbuilding/barn, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses, whether that be storage, workspace, leisure or further development (stp).
The reception hall is an impressive space in its own right, flooded with natural light and offering excellent versatility as an additional living or reception area.
At the heart of the home is an exceptional kitchen, dining and family space extending to over 33ft in length, designed with both scale and everyday living in mind. The kitchen itself is centred around a substantial island, creating a natural focal point, and is complemented by extensive cabinetry, generous preparation space and a high-specification range of integrated appliances, including twin eye-level ovens, dual full-height refrigeration, multiple dishwashers and a combination of gas and halogen hob, alongside further specialist features.
The space opens effortlessly into the dining and family areas, where full-width glazing and doors draw in natural light and provide a direct connection onto the terrace and gardens beyond, creating a seamless link between inside and out.
Importantly, the layout is well considered, offering clear definition between cooking, dining and seating areas whilst retaining the open-plan feel that modern buyers look for. A separate utility room sits alongside, mirroring the quality and practicality of the kitchen and ensuring the main space remains uncluttered.
The sitting room is a separate, well-proportioned reception space, featuring a wood burner and direct access to the outside, providing a more private setting when required.
The layout across the ground floor is particularly versatile. Three of the four bedrooms are positioned on this level, each benefiting from its own en-suite. This arrangement works exceptionally well for families, guests or those seeking single-level living. The configuration also lends itself to the creation of a self-contained annexe, subject to requirements.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a utility room, cloakroom and extensive built-in storage.
To the first floor, the principal suite occupies its own private section of the home. This is a standout space, complete with fitted wardrobes, dressing area and access onto a balcony overlooking the gardens.

Homes of this scale, set within grounds of this size and maturity on one of the area’s most established roads, are rarely available. The combination of extensive accommodation, flexibility of layout and a setting that offers genuine privacy creates a property that stands apart from the majority of what comes to the market.

Extending to over 3700 sq. ft (stms) of internal accommodation, alongside in excess of 5500 sq. ft of outbuildings and garaging, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that effortlessly bridges refined residential living with exceptional operational versatility.
Positioned within Mundham Common, the setting offers a true sense of rural seclusion, yet remains remarkably well connected with Norwich, Loddon and the Norfolk/Suffolk coastline all within easy reach. This is a location that delivers both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure.
The approach sets the tone. Electric gates open onto a sweeping driveway, framed by mature planting and seasonal colour, leading to an expansive parking and turning area. The house itself sits confidently within its plot, with open lawns stretching away and countryside views forming a constant backdrop.
Internally, the property has evolved over time to create a home of real substance and architectural interest. The entrance hall immediately sets the tone flooded with natural light via full height glazing, with contemporary tiled flooring and a sense of volume that creates a striking first impression. It acts as a central spine to the home, from which the principal rooms flow with ease.
The accommodation is both extensive and highly adaptable, with five reception rooms arranged to suit both formal entertaining and everyday family life. The sitting room provides a refined focal point, enhanced by a large floor-to-ceiling window which draws in views of the pictursque garden. A feature fireplace houses an inset AGA wood burner, while part of the room benefits from a vaulted ceiling an architectural detail that adds both character and a greater sense of space.
Centrally positioned, the family room offers a more relaxed and versatile environment, perfectly suited to modern living and seamlessly connecting the main living spaces. The formal dining room sits to the front, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the grounds, whilst the garden room delivers a more contemporary feel with a glazed roof lantern and full height windows allowing light to pour in throughout the day. Twin doors open directly onto the raised terrace, where a sunken hot tub area creates a natural extension of the living space ideal for entertaining or unwinding whilst enjoying the surrounding countryside.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both visually striking and exceptionally well considered a space designed not only for cooking, but for gathering, entertaining and everyday living. A comprehensive range of bespoke cabinetry is paired with granite work surfaces, whilst a substantial central island anchors the room, providing both preparation space and informal seating. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise both flow and usability, with wide opening connecting seamlessly into the adjoining breakfast/dining areas. A traditional AGA takes centre stage, adding both character and practicality, complemented by a wine cooler. The overall finish strikes a balance between classic and contemporary, creating a kitchen that feels both timeless and highly functional.
Flowing directly from the kitchen, the breakfast area provides a more relaxed setting for day-to-day living, with ample space for dining and unwinding. A further wood burner introduces warmth and atmosphere, reinforcing this as a true hub of the home equally suited to quiet mornings as it is to informal entertaining.
Supporting spaces have been equally well planned, with a generously proportioned utility room designed to house the home’s day-to-day appliances. With space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and fridge freezer, this area keeps the main kitchen clean, uncluttered and highly functional. Two ground floor W.C.’s further enhance practicality, ensuring the home performs effortlessly behind the scenes as well as it does visually.

A further bedroom is complemented by a dressing room, and a well-appointed four piece family bathroom completes the accommodation. Off the landing, a large walk-in airing cupboard provides excellent additional storage and practicality.
Externally, the grounds are as compelling as the house itself. Lawned gardens wrap around the property, interspersed with established trees and planting, while a raised terrace provides a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The configuration offers immediate usability for those requiring secure storage, workspace or operational capacity, whilst equally lending itself to alternative uses from vehicle collections to lifestyle or leisure-led adaptations.

A home of genuine history, scale and versatility, Wilderness House is an exceptional Grade II listed country residence occupying just over two acres of beautiful south-facing grounds in the rural South Norfolk village of Wacton. Approached along an impressive tree-lined private driveway, this remarkable period home offers almost 4300 sq. ft. of accommodation, complemented by an extraordinary collection of barns and outbuildings extending to more than 1500 sq. ft.
There is an immediate sense of arrival. Set well back from the road and screened by mature trees and established planting, the long private driveway winds through the grounds before Wilderness House gradually comes into view. Its handsome traditional façade and generous proportions create an impressive first impression, while the positioning of the house provides an excellent degree of privacy.
Inside, centuries of character sit comfortably alongside the improvements undertaken by the current owners. Exposed oak timbers, substantial beams, original joinery and magnificent inglenook fireplaces remain integral to the house, while upgraded heating, double-glazed windows and doors, contemporary bathrooms and a modern kitchen have helped create a home designed for modern family life without sacrificing its history.
The scale and flexibility of the ground floor is particularly impressive. Rather than a conventional arrangement, a succession of individual living spaces allows the house to adapt easily to family life, entertaining, working from home or multi-generational requirements.
At its heart is the generous kitchen/breakfast room, measuring over 20 ft in length and providing plenty of room for both cooking and informal dining. An island, extensive cabinetry and stone work surfaces provide a contemporary contrast to the property's period architecture, while underfloor heating adds further comfort. Practicality has been carefully considered, with adjoining utility room and additional WC.
The formal dining room creates a superb setting for entertaining and flows into an adjoining snug, while the principal sitting room is everything you would hope to find in a house of this age. Exposed beams, a substantial brick inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove combine to create an atmospheric yet highly usable everyday living room.
At the end of the house, the drawing room provides another substantial reception space, while a conservatory looks out towards the grounds. A dedicated home office and ground-floor shower room add another layer of flexibility and would particularly suit those working from home or seeking accommodation capable of adapting to different generations.
The first floor continues the feeling of space, with four generous bedrooms positioned off the landing. The principal bedroom benefits from its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, while the guest bedroom also enjoys an en-suite. A further bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite WC, with the remaining bedrooms served by a four-piece family bathroom. A separate first-floor laundry room is another thoughtful and particularly practical feature.
The second floor offers yet another dimension. Two further bedrooms sit at either end, with a central room providing an ideal dressing room/walk-in wardrobe. This entire floor could make an excellent retreat for older children or teenagers, guest accommodation, or simply provide additional space for hobbies and home working. The substantial attic space offers excellent additional scope and flexibility, should further accommodation be required.
For all the scale and character found inside, it is arguably the grounds that make Wilderness House particularly special.
Extending to approximately 2.03 acres (stms), the predominantly south-facing gardens have been thoughtfully divided into a number of different areas, giving them considerably more interest than a single expanse of lawn.
Sweeping lawns are interspersed with mature trees, established borders and numerous fruit trees, while a productive kitchen garden reflects the property's country setting. There is also a more secluded spinney, creating a wonderfully natural area within the grounds.
A sizeable paddock sits separately from the principal garden and offers tremendous versatility. It could naturally appeal to those with equestrian interests, subject to individual requirements, but equally lends itself to children's recreation, dogs, further landscaping or simply remaining as an attractive open area.
Within the main grounds is an area understood to have historically accommodated a tennis court. Its footprint remains identifiable and offers an exciting opportunity for a future owner to reinstate a court or perhaps create a swimming pool, games area or other recreational space, subject to any necessary consents.
The remains of a Victorian greenhouse provide another intriguing feature. Restoration could create a beautiful working greenhouse and further complement the established vegetable and fruit-growing areas.
A particular feature of Wilderness House is the extensive collection of traditional barns, stores and outbuildings, which together provide approximately 1555 sq. ft. of additional space, separate from the main house and garage.
The principal barns are particularly impressive, measuring approximately 20'8" x 16'3" and 20'10" x 16'3", complemented by a substantial 16'3" x 9'9" store. A further range includes a 15'1" x 10'3" potting shed, additional stores and a 19'2" x 10'6" garage, along with greenhouse facilities.
For anyone drawn to the lifestyle that comes with a genuine country home, these buildings considerably enhance the versatility of the property. They provide an exciting amount of space for collectors, classic cars, workshops, studios, gardening, hobbies, storage or home-based pursuits, allowing a future owner to adapt their use to suit their individual requirements.
Together with the productive gardens, paddock and wider grounds, the outbuildings are an integral part of what makes Wilderness House such a compelling and increasingly rare country property.
Wacton offers the increasingly sought-after combination of genuine countryside surroundings without isolation. The village lies approximately two miles from Long Stratton, where a good range of everyday amenities, schooling, shops and services can be found.
Norwich is approximately 12 miles to the north, providing extensive shopping, cultural, educational and leisure facilities, while the market town of Diss lies approximately eight miles away. Diss railway station provides direct mainline services to London Liverpool Street, making the property viable for those who require occasional access to the capital while wanting a markedly different pace of life at home.
Wilderness House is not simply about square footage. It is the combination of an historic Norfolk home, an exceptional amount of flexible accommodation, more than two acres of south-facing grounds and a collection of substantial outbuildings that makes it such a compelling proposition. From the long tree-lined approach to the inglenook fireplaces, productive gardens, paddock and barns, this is a property that delivers the space and freedom associated with genuine country living, while remaining remarkably accessible to Norwich and Diss.
