The ground floor continues with a dual aspect lounge with a feature inglenook fireplace and a separate snug, ideal for relaxation or use as a reading nook. An additional study offers flexibility for remote working or a quiet retreat.
Upstairs, 5 bedrooms await with 2 of the bedrooms enjoying en-suite facilities. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A standout feature is the mezzanine-style landing with balcony, offering a unique vantage point. Throughout the home, original features including the historic bread oven and preserved post office window reflect the building’s unique heritage - this is a truly distinctive family home that successfully blends the old with the new.
OUTSIDE
Located in the charming village of Forncett St Peter, this stunning period home sits on a generous plot of approx. 0.15 acres. The property features a driveway accessed by double wooden gates, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the left of the parking area is a mature hedgerow separating it from the front garden and house. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a standout feature, offering a mix of lawn and patio areas. The main patio area, accessible from the kitchen/breakfast room is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. Two spacious outbuildings, complete with French doors, decking, light and power, provide versatile spaces for work or leisure. The garden is further enhanced by raised flowerbeds, providing a tranquil setting perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
LOCATION
Forncett St Peter is a peaceful and rural Norfolk village, offering a quintessential countryside lifestyle with strong community spirit. Surrounded by rolling fields and quiet lanes, the village provides a truly tranquil setting while remaining within easy reach of nearby towns such as Long Stratton and Wymondham. The area is popular with families and those seeking a slower pace of life, with well-regarded schools and local services accessible in neighbouring villages. Forncett St Peter is also just a short drive from the A140 and A11, making it a convenient choice for commuters heading to Norwich, Thetford or further afield. With its beautiful rural surroundings and sense of seclusion, the village offers a charming retreat from the bustle of modern life.
DIRECTIONS
Head out of Wymondham on Silfield Road and turn right at the new development to continue on Silfield Road. Head over the A11 and continue on this road before turning right onto New Road. Follow the road to the end and turn right onto Norwich Road, then left onto Long Stratton Road. Follow the road round the corner and turn left onto Bentley Road where the property can be found on the left-hand side.
