Saxlingham Lane, Tasburgh, Norwich, NR15

Grade II listed farmhouse set within stunning grounds of about 3.2 acres.

Description

Manor Farm is a most attractive Grade II listed period property originally of timber frame construction and dating from the 17th century with later alterations in the 19th century when it was faced in red brick.

The current owners have maintained and improved the property in their tenure and the centerpiece is the stunning country kitchen complete with central island unit fitted by local firm Baker and Burrage. A flexible array of ground floor reception rooms allow for superb opportunities to work from home, enjoy the cosy reception spaces with inset wood burners, or to entertain friends and family in the kitchen. There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms over the first and second floors providing ample accommodation and should a buyer require multi-generational living, an annexe with separate access allows for an ideal self-contained space.

Outside
The house is approached through a five bar gate leading to a large gravelled drive with ample turning and parking for numerous vehicles as well as where the garaging, barn and annexe are situated.

The rear gardens enjoy superb privacy and offer various areas to enjoy such as the generously proportioned patio terrace, perfect for entertaining, a large pond which the owners have maintained to provide an excellent habitat for local wildlife and wooded area which borders the River Tas providing a serene setting to enjoy the aspect back up to the house.

The large barn provides wonderful storage or if a buyer was to desire and subject to necessary permissions, could create further parking for classic cars or perhaps a gym.
