As you approach you are taken through the five bar gate to a rural sanctuary. The gravelled driveway provides plenty of parking and access to the thriving holiday let annexe. Dairy Farm has been sympathetically renovated and updated throughout. Flooded with light, the characterful, versatile and well-proportioned rooms offer plenty of space to relax, to enjoy the views of the garden as well as to entertain.
The spacious entrance reception hall sets the tone for the property with a wonderful period fireplace. The sitting room has windows on three sides and is a light and spacious room in which to relax and enjoy some downtime, with an open fireplace to sit by in winter. Leading off it is a flexible area which is currently used as an office.
The kitchen, being the hub of the home, is perfectly located. Space for a kitchen table makes it ideal for informal dining, with double doors leading out to the side terrace, a delightful spot for breakfast in the summer months, where you can enjoy views across to pastures and hills beyond. The terrace to the back of the house is a suntrap for sundowners. A useful utility room is tucked around the corner, complete with a traditional pantry. Leading off the kitchen/dining room, the family/music room is a great place to enjoy entertaining, whilst warmth radiates out from the focal wood-burning stove.
As a self-contained cottage, Dairy Farm Cottage offers huge potential. Currently used as a thriving Airbnb rental, it would also be an ideal annexe for a relative or long term let. The space flows really well, with a sitting room with double doors leading onto a private terrace, and a superb fitted kitchen. With a spacious bedroom and bathroom, it's the perfect self-contained abode.
The great outdoors! Dairy Farm is a property you just want to be outside enjoying. The formal gardens are well stocked with a wide variety of established planting, sweeping lawns, east and west-facing terraces, mature boundary hedging, and a large vegetable plot with raised beds.
When it comes to outbuildings, there are plenty, and our sellers have improved these greatly, with many being recently re-roofed. The original dairy makes a great workshop, hobbies room or storage space. The larger barn offers so many uses, and is ripe for conversion, subject to the relevant planning permission. The grounds include a separate paddock accessed from the driveway alongside the barns. Whether you seek the sun or shade, there's always a spot to sit and enjoy the tranquil setting of Dairy Farm.
SWARDESTON The pretty village of Swardeston is in south Norfolk, close to the city of Norwich and the popular residential areas of Mulbarton and Cringleford. Swardeston Common is a haven for wildlife and is popular with walkers and there are numerous footpaths on the doorstep. There's a friendly and welcoming community, and the cricket pitch and pavilion are well used by the village residents.
About five miles away, Norwich's perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture.
Named as one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK's most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, the lanes lead you toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.
To the north of the city the University of East Anglia is a remarkable example of brutalist architecture, and the campus is also home to the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art, gifted by the Sainsbury family.
When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
This is a city that reveals itself the longer you stay - a city to fall in love with - a city to be a part of.
SERVICES CONNECTED Mains water and a well. Mains electricity and drainage. Oil fired central heating.
