Description
Henstead House is a single non-estate new build home of wonderful scale and quality. Built by locally renowned developer Lambford Homes, this beautiful farmhouse-styled five bedroom home sits proudly in the centre of the desirable village of Bramerton, just a few miles south of Norwich.
The ground floor offers a welcoming hallway, extremely spacious dual aspect sitting room with fireplace with wood burning stove, a second spacious reception room and at the heart of the home a wonderful kitchen dining room overlooking the garden. There is also a spacious utility room with door to the outside and a ground floor WC.
All five bedrooms on the first floor can comfortably accommodate double beds if desired. There are two with en-suites, a family bathroom and the principal bedroom also has a pair of large fitted wardrobes creating a walk-through wardrobe/dressing area.
Specification is as you would expect of a luxurious property, blended seamlessly with the notable traditional craftmanship. The exterior too is of wonderful proportions with the extensive frontage offering gated entrance, large driveway and double cart lodge whilst the rear garden is partly walled and features large patio areas laid in Indian sandstone. Carpets are included throughout with the buyer able to choose, upon agreement with the developer, and these would be installed prior to completion.
Viewings are strictly by appointment – please be aware that at the time of this release work is still in progress to finish the property which is anticipated in the final quarter of 2025.

BRAMERTON
On the outskirts of Norwich, Bramerton blends rural charm with effortless access to the city’s cultural and economic heart. Nestled along the southern bank of the River Yare, it is celebrated for its scenic beauty, unspoilt woodlands, and the gentle pace of life that comes from being part of the Norfolk Broads National Park. Here, winding lanes lead to open fields, nature reserves, and the wide river.
The Water’s Edge bar and restaurant, situated on the side of the River Yare, is a hidden Norfolk Gem and favourite stop for walkers and boaters alike, offers unspoilt views across the water, with sailing, paddleboarding, and riverside strolls making the most of its peaceful location.
Despite its serene setting, Bramerton lies just five miles from Norwich, making it an ideal base for those seeking both countryside calm and city convenience.
With Norwich railway station close by and the A47 offering swift connections across the county, Bramerton stands as a riverside retreat that offers the best of both worlds—idyllic village life with the vibrancy of the city within easy reach.
