Oxnead, NR10 5HP

Tucked away in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, Oxnead Mill is a truly exceptional property - a quintessential period home accompanied by an awe-inspiring four-storey, Grade II listed water mill.

The approach sets the tone beautifully: a long private driveway follows the tranquil River Bure, creating a memorable first impression.

Lovingly owned for over 60 years, the main house presents all the charm and character one would expect from a classic English country cottage, yet with well-proportioned and thoughtfully laid-out interiors.

The ground floor offers a welcoming reception hall, a delightful sitting room, an elegant dining room perfect for entertaining, a well-appointed study, a fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, pantry, and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor provides flexible and generous accommodation.

Three spacious bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, while a separate large studio flat - complete with its own bathroom and additional shower room - offers an excellent degree of privacy.

This arrangement makes the property particularly versatile, whether for family living, guest accommodation, or independent use.

Adding to its appeal, Oxnead Mill boasts an indoor swimming pool and a very useful, self-contained annexe - ideal for accommodating relatives or generating additional income.

Just across the driveway stands the Grade II listed Water Mill, a spectacular structure that straddles the River Bure. Extending to approximately 8,250 sq.

ft over four floors, it offers tremendous potential for a variety of uses (stpp) - from a unique commercial venue to an extraordinary residential conversion.

In previous years, the former owner used the mill to house a remarkable collection of cinema organs, hosting concerts, parties and other memorable events that celebrated its dramatic setting.

Today, the mill also features a working water turbine that supplies renewable energy to the main house.

Set within approximately 3.5 acres of stunning, mature grounds, the property is a haven of peace and natural beauty.

The formal gardens feature sweeping lawns, established borders, and majestic specimen trees, all framed by the gently flowing river.

Wildlife thrives here, making it a sanctuary for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity.

Oxnead Mill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark property that seamlessly blends heritage, lifestyle and potential.

With its idyllic riverside position, extensive grounds and the extraordinary presence of the water mill, it offers an unrivalled setting for those seeking a truly unique home in the heart of Norfolk.

OXNEAD Oxnead is a fascinating lost settlement and former civil parish, now forming part of Brampton in the Broadland district of Norfolk.

Steeped in history and rural charm, it lies around three miles south-east of the popular market town of Aylsham, with its array of independent shops, cafés, schools and regular markets.

Today, the hamlet is best known for the magnificent Grade I listed Oxnead Hall, once among the grandest country houses in England and still a landmark of historical and architectural importance.

Alongside it stands St Michael’s Church, a beautiful medieval building with close ties to the influential Paston family, providing a striking reminder of Oxnead’s rich past.

The River Bure meanders through the landscape, creating an idyllic backdrop of water meadows, wildlife and rolling farmland.

Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, Oxnead is well connected: Norwich is within easy reach by road, offering rail links to London, while the Norfolk Broads and North Norfolk coast provide endless opportunities for leisure and recreation.
