Cropstone occupies an imposing and elevated position within the Wensum Valley.
Built for themselves in the early 1900s by the Woods family, well known and respected stonemasons who remain in business today, Cropstone is a substantial and impressive family house of brick elevations with stone quoins, string coarse and bays with mullions (from a variety of quarries around the UK) under a steeply pitched peg tiled roof.
The elegant and well proportioned accommodation radiates on a formal basis from a central reception hall, principally over two storeys with extra bedroom accommodation on the second floor.
The design and layout encourages flexibility in the occupation of Cropstone allowing comfortable family living and the potential for great entertainment. The gardens, and particularly the raised south-west facing terrace, have been designed to be incorporated and used with the accommodation again flowing in and out of the house.
This balustraded terrace offers a splendid suntrap from mid-day until dusk, with views over the lovely gardens and down to the River Wensum. The gardens descend gently with expanses of lawn incorporating an artificial ("Casolon Carpet") tennis court and light woodland under-planted with a variety of spring bulbs including a blanket of daffodils; then extending further across a small dyke to a water meadow and the Wensum itself - being upriver of Norwich, motorised craft are prohibited in this part of the river.
The peaceful country feel of Cropstone is remarkable since it is so close to the centre of the fine cathedral and university city of Norwich, with its vibrant metropolitan life and mainline railway. The open countryside of the gentle Wensum Valley is within a short walk. Drive a mile or two and one is immersed in rural Norfolk - a bus stop sits about 50 metres from the gate and half a mile along Low Road one can join a level riverside cycle path running directly to the heart of the old city.
The county of Norfolk offers a wide range of attractions including the network of the Norfolk Broads; the North Norfolk Coastline, now designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its sailing, walking and bird watching; numerous well known country houses and estates together with a number of charming market towns and villages.
