Grade II listed country house requiring renovation with detached barn, outbuildings and glorious countryside views
Description
The Property
North Farm House represents an incredibly rare opportunity to renovate a country house in an excellent location north of Wroxham. Formerly part of the Hoveton estate and dating back to 1587 this historic Grade II Listed property now requires a comprehensive programme of renovation and modernisation but offers huge potential and scope seldom found in this location.
The property retains its original character features and fireplaces with particular note being the original Tudor staircase. A magnificent Hall reception room benefitting from plentiful natural light and an excellent place to entertain large groups of family and friends is the centrepiece of the accommodation.
Currently comprising of six bedrooms but with scope for more should this be required via the conversion of an attic room. A well-situated study to the top floor benefits from far reaching views over farmland and an ideal place to work from home.
Outside
Sitting in an envious, commanding position nestled between open farmland the property benefits from no near neighbours and excellent privacy. Accessed via a long driveway which leads to the property and the outbuildings providing parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens and grounds extend to about 2.5 acres and are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs planted. Far reaching views across the Hoveton estate surround all sides to give wonderful vistas from all boundaries.
The property boasts a collection of useful outbuildings which could offer potential for development subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. A detached barn of approx. 1500 sq ft would provide perfect annexe accommodation should one be required and the planning obtained.
The remaining outbuildings adjoin the house and could either be incorporated to increase the size of accommodation or provide ideal storage for classic cars.
An old cattle shed faces onto an area of sunken garden which would make a wonderful spot for an outdoor swimming pool if the necessary permissions were granted.
Location
North Farm House is situated in an unspoilt rural position adjoining open farmland about 3 miles from Wroxham, the acknowledged centre of the Broads network. Wroxham has excellent shopping, banking and transport facilities including a railway station with trains to the North Norfolk coast at Sheringham and to Norwich with connecting trains onwards to London Liverpool Street with a fastest journey time of about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Norwich (12 miles), the Cathedral City and regional centre of East Anglia, has a thriving retail and business centre with cultural and leisure activities for most tastes, a university, schools and an airport with expanding domestic flights with most international destinations via Schiphol.
