Description

A delightful Grade II Listed 17th Century farmhouse with later additions situated in a superb rural position in the heart of 6.37 acres with a range of outbuildings offering considerable potential subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Property - The property is a charming Grade II Listed farmhouse with an abundance of character and a wealth of period features. For those seeking rural life with convenience then it is perfectly situated in a rural hamlet to the the north of Harleston. Approached from the road via a driveway offering parking for several cars. The front door leads to an entrance hall. To the left is currently a one bedroom annexe with bed/sitting room, shower room and kitchen. This could easily be reconfigured for additional living space. There are two principal reception rooms, both with impressive fireplaces and exposed timbers. There is a double aspect kitchen with comprehensive range of farmhouse units and range plus a large pantry. A corridor divides the principal house with the conservatory and there is a utility room with a w.c.

For those seeking the 'good life' the land would work perfectly. There is a large area of lawn with established borders. There is an excellent vegetable garden ready to be brought back into productivity next spring, plus a paddock and small area of woodland. In addition, there are two fields, one with road access.
