Long Road, Framingham Earl, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

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.
