A charming family home on the edge of a rural hamlet, with about 1.5 acres.
Description
The Property
Holly Farmhouse is a delightful family home, with a pleasing blend of architectural styles and ages, with an original thatched 18th century cottage that has been extended in both the Victorian era and more latterly and extensively in 2013 by the current owners.
The house now presents an impressive and spacious home with plenty of character, functional space and style. The most recent addition created a substantial living/ music room, with wood burner, triple aspect and direct access to the south to south west facing patio via French doors. Above this is the exceptional master bedroom enjoying plenty of natural light with vaulted ceiling and en suite shower room. In the original part of the house the kitchen has recently been transformed with a bespoke shaker style kitchen with great attention to detail and thoughtful layout, complete with new Aga eR7 and central island. This leads through to a comfortable dining room, with further cabinetry and wine cooler. At the heart of the house is a spacious sitting room with fireplace, a bespoke fitted study, the essential utility room and shower room. A further four bedrooms are on the first floor with family bathroom and WC, with most rooms including bespoke cabinetry providing plenty of storage throughout.
The house is in excellent order throughout, and all rooms enjoy views out over the gardens.
Garden and Grounds
Holly Farm House enjoys a peaceful and private setting on the edge of the hamlet, approached through a pair of wooden five bar gates on brick pillars. A gravelled driveway sweeps round to an area of parking for many cars, with the drive looping back to the gates.
The wonderful grounds compliment the house perfectly. To the south is a landscaped area of well stocked herbaceous borders, framed by brick pathways and low brick walls, with seating areas and wisteria clad façade. The majority of the garden is mainly laid to a large expanse of lawn that sweeps from south to west, interspersed with shrubberies and leading to a wooded area with mown paths meandering through.
Within the gardens are a hard tennis court, sheltered via established hedged boundaries. Immediately adjoining the house is a south west facing patio, ideal for outside dining, with a further patio behind the house again used for outside dining overlooking the koi pond and water feature and with direct access from the house.
The substantial outbuilding has been utilised by all the family at various points, and is currently configured as a gym, party room and storage, but could clearly be adapted in many different ways.
Location
Sloley is a small and unspoilt scattered rural hamlet about a mile from the village of Worstead, a most attractive conservation village famous for its fine 14th century church. Worstead also has a well regarded village school and gastro pub together with a train station with direct line to Norwich within walking distance of the house.
The hamlet is about three miles from the market town of North Walsham, also with a direct rail service to Norwich. The town has a variety of shops and facilities, including a Waitrose supermarket. The house is convenient for the Norfolk Broads network nearby and is very well placed for education options including state and public schools including Greshams, the Norwich schools and Aylsham.
The Norfolk coastline is about seven miles away, providing sandy beaches at a number of points and a network of coastal footpaths to enjoy alongside bird watching and sailing.
Norwich, the cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, lies about 12 miles to the south, with thriving retail, culture and business sectors with state and public schools through to the University of East Anglia. The city provides good transport links with a direct line to London Liverpool Street, and an international airport to the north.
