Impressive family home in sought-after location
3 Wensum Road is an impressive family home in the sought-after South Norfolk village of Stoke Holy Cross. Offering about 2500 sq ft of flexible accommodation over three floors, this attractive detached residence is located on the well-regarded Watermill Meadows Development and was built in 2018.
Upon entering the house, the welcoming hallway sets the tone, offering access to three versatile reception areas that cater to both formal and informal living. The expansive sitting room runs the full length of the house, bathed in natural light from its dual aspect window and elegant French doors that open onto the garden. A cosy woodburner and bespoke shelving create a warm and inviting space—perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. Opposite, a flexible snug/study offers a quiet retreat. Currently used as a playroom, this space features attractive custom shelving and a fold-down desk, making it ideal as a home office, informal lounge, or even a formal dining room. To the rear, the heart of the home unfolds in an attractive open-plan kitchen and dining area. Modern cabinetry, integrated appliances, and generous proportions make this a superb space for family life. A practical utility room with garden access adds convenience and functionality.
The well-proportioned bedroom accommodation is set over two upper floors offering much versatility for growing families or multi-generational living. The principal suite features a dedicated dressing area leading to a four-piece bathroom. A second spacious bedroom with en suite provides a perfect guest retreat. The first floor also includes a third bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom. On the second floor, two large double-aspect bedrooms with charming dormer windows share a shower room—ideal for older children seeking privacy and independence.
To the rear of the house, an unusually large garden offers a peaceful haven with a generous terrace for summer dining, and a picturesque backdrop of woodland and open fields. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet moments, this outdoor space is a highlight.
A further feature of the property is the double garage, offering both front and rear access for added convenience. Fully equipped with power, lighting, and ample storage space, it’s ideal for secure parking, workshop use, or additional household storage.
Complementing the garage is a private driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles, ensuring ease of access for residents and guests alike.

The current owners had the opportunity to purchase additional land to the rear and I feel it has transformed the garden, creating a wonderful terrace for outdoor entertaining with woodland and then fabulous open field views beyond.
