Idyllically set, step out of the front door at Bank House, meander through the orchard, take your private gate and stroll along the waterways of West Norfolk.

This generous farmhouse has always been a space for family and friends, having belonged to the same family until 2011 and its more recent custodian since 2020.

Wake up to birdsong, catch a look at the barn owls at dusk and search for shooting stars among our county's dark skies.
Upon arrival mature grounds extending to approximately four acres welcome you – including the fondly named 'Patricia's Field', after Patricia the donkey who lived there.

The current owners fell for the change of lifestyle this home offered; hoping to enjoy more time in the garden and to run their own glamping-site in its extended plot.

From the peace and tranquillity outside, it's time to step through the front door and into one of three large reception rooms.

The melody of friends and family coming together echoes these rooms; a perfect setting for a summer's party or a winter's night in. Cook up a feast and share a tipple in the bright and airy kitchen.
And when it comes to day-to-day family life, a convenient boot room and utility are ready for muddy shoes and wet coats to be thrown off.

When you want a moment to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, hideaway in the garden room. Whether it is morning coffee or afternoon tea, this is a spot for a peaceful moment of reflection.

Upstairs five bedrooms - including a main bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom - are ready to welcome the whole family. Everyone has their space in this traditional Norfolk farmhouse.

Continuing outside is a double garage, recently re-roofed, and additional outbuildings which cover the practicalities of everyday life and offers a great potential to be used fully.

The grounds wrap around the house and encompasses a lawn with mature borders of trees, plants and shrubs, an orchard of fruit trees, vegetable beds, chicken coops and a tarmac tennis court.

On the land opposite the house the owners have worked hard to create a glamping site, adding furnished shepherd's huts. The site has an electrical and water supply, its own drainage treatment facility, and a visitor car park so it is ready to be opened for bookings by the new owner.

For complete privacy, a gated driveway provides parking off the road for several vehicles.

Bank House is exactly what it says, a home on the banks of Norfolk's waterways with far reaching views across farmland beyond.
