Birchwood House, High Oak Road, Wymondham, NR18 9QP

Set in a peaceful rural location yet just minutes from the thriving market town of Wymondham, Birchwood House offers a rare fusion of high-end family living, leisure facilities, and a proven income stream. This detached country residence is more than just a home — it's a business and a lifestyle opportunity wrapped into one expansive and beautifully curated estate.

The main house is thoughtfully designed and impeccably presented. With a contemporary country style throughout, the property welcomes you into a series of warm, functional, and generous spaces. From the elegant sitting room to the formal drawing room and a striking, triple-aspect family room, the home is perfectly suited to both relaxed everyday living and stylish entertaining. The main living area features floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the outside in, wooden flooring, and a central fireplace with a wood burning stove — the heart of the home.

The kitchen blends style and substance, with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a central island ideal for social cooking. A separate pantry, utility room, and laundry area ensure that every practical need is taken care of behind the scenes. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms offer space for family, guests, or even B&B-style accommodation. Three bedrooms enjoy their own en suites, while a large family bathroom supports the remaining rooms.

The standout feature — and a major draw for both personal enjoyment and guest use — is the indoor swimming pool. Enclosed and climate-controlled, it extends the luxury offering and increases year-round rental potential for the holiday lets.

To the rear of the main home, five self-contained holiday units sit discreetly in the landscape. Each unit is complete with its own kitchen, bathrooms, and tastefully finished interiors, and has been configured for flexibility — from romantic couple retreats to family-friendly stays. The layout allows each guest privacy, while offering ample parking and access to communal grounds and amenities.

Outdoors, the estate continues to impress. There's a full-size tennis court, south-facing terraces for alfresco dining, lawns bordered by mature hedges, and spaces designed for both play and relaxation, including a children's climbing frame and picnic area. A wildflower meadow and fruiting orchard enhance the biodiversity and natural appeal of the property.

The estate spans approximately 2.2 acres — perfect for investors looking to scale operations with additional units, event hosting, or equestrian facilities (subject to planning).

The location is equally advantageous. Wicklewood, a charming village with an Ofsted “Outstanding” primary school, is nearby, while Wymondham offers comprehensive amenities, supermarkets, independent shops, and a vibrant local community. The highly sought-after Wymondham College, one of the UK's top state boarding schools, lies within catchment and just over a mile away — a compelling selling point for future family or guest appeal.

For commuters or weekend visitors, the A11 is just a few minutes away, linking to Norwich and London. Wymondham Station offers regular services to Cambridge and London King's Cross (via Ely), enhancing its appeal for city dwellers seeking a country escape or flexible remote working base.

Why Birchwood House?

For investors, Birchwood House offers more than just bricks and mortar — it offers multi-stream revenue potential, significant lifestyle benefits, and future development flexibility, all in one of Norfolk's most desirable rural locations.

This is an investment in quality, in location, and in a lifestyle that pays dividends — both personally and financially.
