4 bedroom farm house

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this attractive period farmhouse, the original part of which dates back to the Jacobean era. The property provides generously proportioned and highly versatile ground floor reception space, which is abound with character features; with spacious and stylishly appointed bedroom accommodation upstairs. Features include original fireplaces, beamed ceilings, original flooring and a cellar. The delightful accommodation is complemented by equally impressive gardens, which extend to around 0.4 acres (stms) and include neatly maintained lawns, a vegetable patch and orchard.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the spacious reception hall which is at the heart of the ground floor and displays a wealth of character features; from the pamment tile flooring to the beamed ceiling. At the southern end of the ground floor is the well-proportioned main sitting room, complete with a brick-built open fireplace and original flooring. Across the hall is the impressive formal dining room, which also retains an original fireplace and a door which leads to the kitchen. The bespoke kitchen was handmade using reclaimed timber, under oak and granite work surfaces, with a double sink unit and a free-standing range cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which provides a further range of storage units and also has a door leading to the ground floor shower room.

The rear lobby links the main hall to the back of the house, with a stable door opening to the garden. The lobby also provides a useful space for boots, coats and shoes. An inner door from the lobby leads into a highly versatile ground floor, listed as the snug, but which has also served as a fifth bedroom, office and play room. At the south-east corner of the ground floor is the more recently added garden room, which is a delightful reception space, with a glazed roof and bi-folding doors to the garden. A pair of double doors lead back into the formal sitting room.

A central staircase in the reception hall rises up to the first floor galleried landing. Steps from the hall also lead down to the cellar, which is currently used for storage.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms arranged around the bright and spacious galleried landing, which has a trio of sash windows on the south/west facing front wall. The master bedroom enjoys the luxury of a stylish en-suite bathroom and dressing room, whilst the other bedrooms are served by an equally well-appointed family bathroom. Bedrooms 2,3 & 4 are all fitted with built-in wardrobes and all still retain feature fireplaces.

OUTSIDE

Parking for the property is available at the front and side of the house, where there are a pair of gates opening to a private driveway which also houses garage/workshop building, behind which there is a large and useful storage area. The main garden is fully enclosed and has been landscaped to include several areas which link up with clever planting and a series of lawned paths. These areas include a well-stocked vegetable patch, an orchard and a wildlife pond, as well as a central expanse of lawn with steps leading down to the garden room. Much of the garden is enclosed by an original brick and flint wall, and there are also a number of useful sheds and a greenhouse. In all the grounds extend to approximately 0.4 acres (stms).

LOCATION

Wereham is a pretty village with direct access on to the A134, just 5 miles from Downham Market and 13 miles from King's Lynn, both of which provide a main line rail service to Kings Cross via Cambridge. The village is known for its friendly and active community, much of which revolves around the church and the recently built village hall. There is also a picturesque village green and a popular pub called The George & Dragon.
