3 bedroom cottage

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to present Wents Farmhouse, a beautifully presented three-bedroom detached family home situated on a sizeable plot of around three acres (STMS). This charming property is set in a peaceful rural location, surrounded by open fields and located on the edge of the popular village of Methwold. This chalk-built cottage was built approximately 200 years ago and has later been extended to create a spacious home which seamlessly blends traditional character with modern conveniences. On the ground floor, the accommodation includes a large central living and dining room, a stunning farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy snug, a wonderful garden room and a spacious bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable double bedrooms along with a convenient WC. A standout feature of this property is the outdoor space, which includes delightful gardens that wrap around the property along with a large field which is currently used to keep the owner's horses and donkeys. Wents Farmhouse has been a cherished family home, and viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the property via the spacious entrance hall, which features stairs rising to the first along with two useful storage cupboards. Situated in the heart of the home is the fantastic open-plan living/dining room, which is generous in size and a great entertaining space, with ample room for a table and chairs at one end and a delightful seating area at the other. There are also charming exposed brick fireplaces at either end, which add a cosy feel to the space. The stunning farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is located just off the dining area and enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the garden. The kitchen features beautiful block-weaved flooring along with an electric Aga with exposed brick surround, a butler sink, a useful storage cupboard and plumbing/space for a washing machine and dishwasher. On the opposite side of the property is a cosy snug with a charming fireplace, which could also be used as an office for those who work from home. Leading off the snug is a wonderful garden room which enjoys a triple aspect and a vaulted ceiling, which creates a bright and airy space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the spacious bathroom, which features both a bath and shower along with a wash basin with vanity unit and a WC.

Navigating upstairs, you will find the tastefully appointed bedrooms and WC arranged around the landing area. All three bedrooms are comfortable double rooms which are adorned with exposed wood flooring and an array of beautiful timberwork. All three bedrooms share impressive field views, with bedrooms 1 & 2 also benefiting from a built-in wardrobe. A convenient cloakroom WC completes the first-floor accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a five-bar timber gate, which allows access to the large shingle driveway that provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The driveway also provides access to the adjoining field and the large double garage situated next to the home. The delightful gardens wrap around the front, side and rear of the property and are mostly boarded by mature hedging. The front garden is laid mainly to shingle, along with a patio area, which is ideal for entertaining in the summer. This shingled area continues along the side of the property, where you will find a hot tub and multiple sheds. A larger lawned area can also be found at the side of the property, where you will also find a summer house which is equipped with power. At the rear of the property is a large patio area, which is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy views of the adjoining field. Also included is a small equestrian paddock along with an adjoining field (approximately 2.6 acres), which is enclosed via Tornado fencing.
