SITUATION

The small village of Morston is situated with an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty right on the coast and offers direct access to Blakeney Pit which is the largest sheltered harbour on the North Norfolk Coast.

This area is famous for its wildlife all year round – spectacular wildfowl in the winter, nesting terns in the summer, and large colonies of grey and common seals all year round with many seal watching trips leaving from the quay.

.
Sailing and boating are popular in this large area of sheltered water when the tide is in. Long walks and spectacular views are available all year round. Morston is also home to a pretty parish church, the fabulous Michelin-starred Morston Hall, and the popular Morston Anchor pub which provides good local food.

The neighbouring village of Blakeney is within walking distance, this is a year-round lively village, as well as a holiday destination and offers a wide variety of shops including a fishmonger & delicatessen, pubs and restaurants, a fine parish church, tennis courts, playing field, doctors’ surgery, and a primary school.

The nearby Georgian market town of Holt is renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide range of independent shops, as well as Bakers and Larners (a privately-owned department store), boutiques and cafes, doctors’, dentists’ and veterinary surgeries, banks, post office, good butchers and fishmongers and independent book shop.

OUTSIDE

Hall Farmhouse is of brick and flint construction under a pantile roof and dates from the 1986 with later additions in the 90’s and 2008. The property is surrounded on three sides by woods and mature landscaping and enjoys lovely open country views to the west.

Approached over a shared gravelled roadway, the house also benefits from its own separate entrance drive which is currently unmade and not used regularly. Double iron entrance gates open to a private gravelled driveway lined with a wonderful array of shrubs and trees. The garden is landscaped with several entertaining areas, pathways, a mixed variety of trees, rose arbours and herbaceous borders. The kitchen garden is fully fenced with raised borders and beyond this is a chicken run.

The paddock is stock fenced and there is an adjacent fully enclosed sand ménage. A substantial stable block provides 3 stables, hard standing, and a tack room making this the perfect small equestrian home.

A fine timber clad “barn style” building constructed in 2008, houses the 15-metre indoor swimming pool, with a modern efficient ultraviolet treatment system which keeps the water clean with automatic dosing system for the very little amount of chlorine required. The barn also has a steam room, changing room, shower, WC and gym. Bifold doors open to a south facing terrace to allow enjoyable summer use and an air handling system that keeps the humidity perfect at all times for an ideal swimming environment.

There is a plant room that houses all control systems, gas fired boilers and hot water storage for the entire site and at the other end of the stable block a large garage building, big enough for boat and car storage. A further lean too shed provides an area of hay storage etc.

Above the garage the roof space has been converted to a studio annex which is totally self-contained with a fully fitted kitchen area, shower room and open plan bedsitting space.
