The Common, Hanworth

3 Bedroom Semi-Detached Bungalow for sale in Norwich

Location Hanworth is a delightful rural village some 6.7 miles north of Aylsham, 5.4 miles south west of Cromer and just under 19 miles north of Norwich. The nearest railway station is Gunton 4.3 miles east on the Bittern Line, which runs from Norwich to Sheringham and Norwich International Airport is on the northern outskirts of the city easily accessed from Broadland Way.

The Common which covers 35 acres and is protected by cattle grids, first appeared on maps going back to 1628 when the Doughty family bought The Manor of Hanworth from the Duke of Norfolk. They purchased more land from his Kingsman, the Earl of Surrey, in 1690 and at that time there were three commons, Bell House Common, Hook Hill Common and Barn Stable Common. The common has been managed by a committee of residents since at least 1909, referenced from the earliest minutes and all residents have grazing rights. Cattle now graze the common from May to October when entering the common from the west it is a truly impressive sight as the common opens up in front of you.

Aylsham whilst slightly further than Cromer is probably the easiest to access with three free car parks and a good variety of independent local shops to include supermarkets, Marks & Spencers food shop and fuel station, butchers, doctors surgery, opticians, library, town hall and schooling for all ages up to 16 years. This historic and medieval town has regular farmers markets in the National Trust market place and is close to Blickling Hall and the Bure Valley Railway.
