SITUATION
Manor Farm stands in a wonderful rural setting on a quiet by-road which is a loop road giving access to Manor Farm and a small number of other properties and thus carries very little traffic. The house is surrounded by open countryside and enjoys far reaching views. The nearby market town of North Walsham offers a wide range of amenities including supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, and Lidl), shops, primary and secondary schools and the prestigious Paston College, dentists, two doctor’s surgeries and a cottage hospital, as well as good public transport (bus and rail) to Norwich and Cromer.
To the east and north there is access to Norfolk’s renowned coastline with bird reserves, sandy beaches (2 miles), sailing facilities, and several golf courses nearby, namely Sheringham, Cromer and West Runton. The Norfolk Broads network is within easy driving distance (3 miles to Horning) and the Cathedral City of Norwich is within 17 miles.
The Cathedral City of Norwich has a vibrant business community and as the regional centre has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including the Norwich City football club, the Riverside leisure development complete with cinema and numerous restaurants and pubs. The city has an excellent range of state and private schools and is well known for its excellent shopping, with a combination of independent retailers along with several premium department stores. Norwich has a mainline railway station with a service to London Liverpool Street and the expanding Norwich International Airport is just to the north of the city.
