Elegant Georgian Home Set in an Elevated Tranquil Position ELEGANT GEORGIAN HOME SET IN AN ELEVATED TRANQUIL POSITION HIGH HOUSE THORPE ST. ANDREW, NORWICH, NORFOLK, NR7 0EZ PART OF A LARGE COUNTRY HOUSE WITH A WONDERFUL FEELING OF PRIVACY AND SECLUSION CLOSE TO NORWICH HIGH HOUSE 36 SOUTH AVENUE, THORPE ST ANDREW Ground floor: Entrance porch w kitchen/dining room w drawing room w boot room w bedroom w shower room w verandah Basement: Wine cellar w family room/study First floor: Main bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and bath/shower room w bedroom with en-suite bathroom w bedroom with en-suite shower room w laundry room Outside: Triple garage with office/gym above w terrace w mature parkland-like gardens w in all 1.733 acres (est) Norwich train station: 1.9 miles, Norwich city centre: 2.9 miles. The Property High House originally consisted of a large estate on the eastern outskirts of Norwich. There is little evidence as to the original date of construction but the house is believed to be circa 1810 and Georgian with Regency influences and later additions. The house was divided into three properties during the 1930s and this eastern end has only had two owners since 1934. In addition to the main house, the servants’ wing at the rear of the property was also converted. Various families have lived at High House throughout its history including one well known banking family, the Birkbecks, who we understand lived there in the 1800s. High House No4 is at the far southeast end of the building and is approached via a large, communal gravelled area which leads to its garage, private driveway and main entrance. The property has a beautiful façade on the south side overlooking the parkland setting. The drawing room, and main bedroom above, have a fine bay, high ceilings and period detail including working shutters. Both these rooms overlook the woodland and lawn on the east and south side. The current owners purchased the property in 2003 and undertook a lengthy total re-model and renovation programme. Great care and sympathy was taken to maintain the character and many period details. Major works undertaken included making the cellar full height (now part wine cellar and adjoining family room/study). A new heating system was installed with underfloor heating to many rooms including the kitchen and all bathrooms. The plumbing and wiring systems were also renewed. The kitchen/dining extension was added with door leading out onto the east side. An area was in-filled double height to create a boot room and an en-suite shower room to the bedroom above. Original windows at the front of the property were restored and the new windows added elsewhere are sealed double-glazed units. In addition to the renovations above, a three car garage with electric doors was constructed at the entrance to the private driveway sympathetic to the setting. There is a fully functioning alarm system. We draw your attention to the floor plans for a full explanation as to how the flexible accommodation is arranged. Outside The triple garage is on the left hand side of the driveway and has external steps leading to an office/gym above. The driveway provides a large, gravelled, parking area for several cars leading to the main entrance of the house. On the east side, the garden slopes steeply away leading to the boundaries of Thunder Lane via a substantial wooded area with a variety of fine trees, shrubs and plants. This leads to a walled garden with pedestrian gate to Thunder Lane and a further natural/wild area beyond. The wide path around the east side of the house leads to the formal garden on the south side. It has a large gravelled and sandstone terrace with steps leading to a lawned garden with a wealth of mature trees, shrubs and plants, giving a parkland-like feel. The south entrance to the house is approached via the original veranda providing a delightful seating area to enjoy the gardens and sun. Situation High House is situated in an elevated position at the very top of South Avenue in the ever popular residential area of Thorpe St. Andrew. It enjoys a wooded, secure and secluded location just under 3 miles from the city centre. Norwich train station is nearby offering a regular service to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street. The property is within easy access to the A47 Norwich Southern Bypass. At the bottom of South Avenue there is a popular café and the attractive River Green with its grassed seating area overlooking the River Yare, as well as public houses and St Andrew’s Church. The pedestrian Thorpe Ferry crossing can be taken to Whitlingham County Park. There are further shops including a large Sainbury’s supermarket within a mile and good schools nearby in both the private and state sectors. Agent's Notes 1. There are shared rights of way over the unadopted driveway and gravel courtyard serving the three main houses and others. 2. A pedestrian right of way is in place along the far south boundary providing access along a footpath for the three main houses to access South Avenue. Directions Leave Norwich via Thorpe Road which after about a mile becomes Yarmouth Road. Upon reaching the River Green after Thorpe St. Andrew Church on the left, take the next left into South Avenue. Proceed up South Avenue and as the road continues into a private unadopted road, proceed to the top and across the gravelled courtyard. At the far end of the courtyard, the entrance will be found straight ahead. The postcode for the property is NR7 0EZ. Services Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • River Wensum Strategy
    1 The need for a strategy 1.1 The River Wensum flows from its source in north-west Norfolk through the Greater Norwich area, to its confluence with the River Yare at Whitlingham to the east of the city. This strategy focuses on the section of the river within the city boundary and also includes the Whitlingham area. 1.2 The River Wensum has had a major influence on the development of Norwich over the centuries. As the city’s oldest and most important highway, industry grew up on its banks and influenced the city’s early development. Despite its location close to the attractions of this historic city the River Wensum generates little in the way of river-based businesses and leisure activity. 1.3 Over recent decades Norwich City Council has sought to maximise the potential of the river corridor for residents and tourists, resulting in the creation of over 11km of riverside walk through its planning policies, and the development of three new bridges since 2001 – the Novi Sad Friendship Bridge, Lady Julian Bridge and the Jarrold Bridge. The River Wensum is within the Broads National Park (up to the head of navigation at New Mills), and the Broads Authority has also had a key role in securing these bridges and improving public access to the river. In recent decades the city council has also encouraged major retail, residential and leisure developments on both sides of the river, with developments designed to face the river to encourage its attractiveness and leisure potential. 1.4 Despite recent achievements, much remains to be done to make the most of this key but under-utilised asset, both in terms of its management and through physical enhancements.

  • The Archaeology of the Broads a Review
    The Archaeology of the Broads: a review For Norfolk County Council, Historic Environment Service & the Broads Authority Peter Murphy BSc MPhil MIFA Final Report December 2014 The Landscape of the Broads from Burgh Castle. This was part of the Great Estuary in the Roman period, but now shows many of the features of the modern landscape – open water, reed-swamp, grazing marsh and a farmhouse and drainage mill. Visible features of the historic environment form a key component of the landscape, easily understood by all, but buried archaeology is less well understood and less appreciated. Introduction Compared to other wetland, or former wetland, areas of the East of England the archaeology of the Broads is comparatively under-investigated (Brown et al 2000). The historic legacy of records seems scarcely to exist here. Finds made during medieval peat extraction would have gone completely unrecorded and Post-Medieval extraction of peat seems not to have been under the direction of large landowners, so the workings would have been less likely to be seen by educated individuals who could acquire and report on what was found. Bronze Age swords may not literally have been “beaten into ploughshares” – but they may have been re- cycled in other ways. Groundwater has been maintained at a higher level in many areas compared with, for example, the Fen Basin, and so deposits are often less visible and accessible. The masking of valley floor sites in the region by later alluvium further conceals low-lying sites from aerial survey and prevents conventional surface fieldwalking. Although some parts of the Broads are subject to relatively intense development for infrastructural and retail/housing development (e.g.

  • Memories of Thorpe St. Andrew Between the Wars
    MEMORIES OF THORPE ST. ANDREW BETWEEN THE WARS My name is Henry Bussey and as one who was born in Thorpe St Andrew as the Great War ended and lived in the village until enlisting in the Royal Norfolk Regiment just before the outbreak of World War Two I have been asked to record my memories of those days. Alas, they can only be random memories as I have now reached the ripe old age of eighty-one. My father was born at Great Plumstead, one of a family of six boys and three girls and they lived in a two bedroom cottage adjacent to Keys farm. Living conditions were appalling, there was no bath and washing facilities comprised a pail of water from the well in a brick outhouse. The girls shared a bedroom and water was carried upstairs in a bucket. It seems these conditions were the norm in those days. As the boys entered their teens the lack of sleeping accommodation in the cottage meant fresh arrangements had to be made and the problem was solved by sleeping in a stable at Keys farm. My father and two of his brothers eventually found work in the area and the others took to the road. One to become a successful fruit farmer, one killed in an ammunition explosion and the other found work on the railway. All the children attended Great Plumstead School during the 1880s and the teachers name was Miss Dale, a dedicated teacher by all accounts as they all left school literate and numerate. I was able to confirm this in later years when I saw some of the post cards they exchanged.
