5 bedroom house

'Green Farm House' is a substantial, detached 16th century Grade II listed farmhouse standing in glorious formal grounds of around 1.9 acres (STMS), with flexible period outbuildings and nestled discreetly in the heart of Hunworth village. This fine landmark residence has been significantly but sympathetically extended over the years to provide a wonderful period country home that boasts elegance and style throughout. The main residence, together with several flexible outbuildings, extends to over 6,000sq. ft. to provide the ultimate country residence. The accommodation is very well presented throughout and retains a wealth of period charm and detail including pamment tiled flooring, exposed brick and flint walls and exposed ceiling timbers. The principal rooms are well proportioned and light and are set out in a versatile manner whilst the kitchen, which has been beautifully upgraded in recent years, provides the essential hub of the house.
The main residence is set over two floors and extends to around 3,500sq. ft. that briefly comprises; Formal entrance hall, dual aspect drawing room, formal dining room with wood burner, study/home office and a wonderful handmade in-frame 'Shaker' style kitchen/breakfast room with Aga. The kitchen is perfectly accompanied by a generous pantry/cold store and separate utility room. An informal side porch/boot room, that is accessed from the private courtyard, provides practical space. To the first floor you will find a sumptuous principal bedroom suite that features a dressing room and opulent en-suite bath/shower room, an impressive second bedroom suite provides the perfect guest options with its own dressing room and en-suite shower room. Three further individual double bedrooms complete the bedroom accommodation and served by a spacious house bathroom.
'Green Farm House' enjoys a formal entrance off King Street via electric wrought iron gates opening onto a shingled driveway that is flanked by attractive soft landscaping. Sweeping beyond the main residence the driveway arrives at an enclosed central courtyard that provides extensive secure parking and creates a most attractive arrival. Surrounding the courtyard is a cluster of attractive brick and flint buildings that have been cleverly and sympathetically adapted to provide functional and flexible ancillary space. A substantial two storey barn has been converted to provide additional accommodation although further work would be required to achieve habitable space. Off the main barn there is a spacious workshop, garden store, double bay open cart shed and enclosed garaging. These delightful and attractive buildings offer excellent scope for further development subject to relevant consents.
The glorious private grounds, that extend to around 1.9 acres (STMS), are wonderfully mature and private and create an enchanting backdrop for the house, and a discreet and peaceful environment. The gardens feature a selection of sun terraces, shaped lawns, vegetable garden and hard surface tennis court. The gardens gently fall away from the house and meet up with the River Glaven.
'Green Farm House' is located on King Street, a pretty and eclectic country lane just off the picture postcard setting of Hunworth Green where you will find the fantastic 'Hunnybell' village pub and restaurant. Hunworth is arguably one of North Norfolk's most idyllic and traditional villages where property rarely comes to the open market and has the benefit of being just a couple of miles from the historic Georgian market town of Holt.
 

HUNWORTH The beautiful village of Hunworth is situated approximately 2 ½ miles from the picturesque town of Holt in the vale of the Glaven.
