TOWN FARM provides a location, facilities and accessibility that make it an ideal family home which has well-served the current owners for the last 30 years.

THORNAGE is an attractive village with a square-towered flint church and many fine period properties that all contribute to its Conservation Area designation. It lies within the Glaven Valley which consists of beautiful rolling countryside with a good range of footpaths and bridleways for walkers (with or without dogs) and cyclists to enjoy.

There are a variety of local eateries including pubs in the neighbouring villages of Hunworth and Letheringsett and the popular farm shop and restaurant, Back to the Garden, all around a mile away.

The village lies approximately 3 miles south-west of the Georgian market town of Holt with its wide range of independent boutique shops which include Bakers & Larners, Byfords and several excellent galleries, restaurants and other amenities along with the renowned Gresham’s Public School (providing co-ed private schooling from pre-prep to sixth form for both day pupils and boarders). The equally-renowned Beeston Preparatory School (day and boarders) lies around 15 minutes’ drive away.

The North Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is only 5 miles away, with long stretches of uninterrupted beaches and nature reserves and sailing from Blakeney and Morston.

The cathedral city of Norwich is about 25 miles and offers a full range of entertainment, shopping and cultural amenities. Its railway station provides a regular service to London Liverpool Street (about 110 minutes) and to Cambridge (about 70 minutes). Norwich International Airport is on the northern outskirts.

Alternative train services, most-easily accessible at Downham Market, are provided on the King’s Lynn to Kings Cross line (97 mins) with connecting services at Ely to the Midlands and the North and at Cambridge for Stansted and Gatwick Airports.

An hourly bus service passes through the centre of Thornage with further connections at Holt.
