Nestled amongst mature trees within a tranquil, rolling Norfolk countryside scene, Walks Farm House presents an idyllic opportunity to begin your next chapter with an enviable lifestyle accompanied by a truly enchanting home with many a story to tell.

A wealth of period features provide a timeless window into an eclectic past whilst over 3,500 sq. ft. of highly versatile accommodation ensure that the home retains all the flexibility required to accommodate the ever-changing demands of a modern family life. Combine a magical home with no less than eight acres (STMS) of varied and highly practical grounds, and Walks Farm House cements itself as an idyllic and rarely paralleled home in which to carve out a truly fulfilling next chapter of your story.

Beyond the front door, the warm embrace of this home is immediately evident, with pamment tiled floors, exposed timbers and quintessential carpentry showcased at every turn.

A selection of splendid receptions include the dining room and sitting room, both with extraordinary fireplaces. The classic farmhouse kitchen, with space for a breakfast table, makes for a timeless family space to look forward to returning to each day, or indeed to welcome guests with a homely embrace. A large study/snug and ground floor shower room provide all important versatility and functionality to the ground floor.

The first floor is home to three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with every bit as much character as found in the receptions, with original timber flooring and exposed beams on full display. Generous ceiling heights are filled with reams of natural light via windows adorned with lovely countryside views. A large family bathroom serves these bedrooms whilst one also benefits from an en-suite WC.

The accommodation continues to sprawl up to the second floor, where no less than three further double bedrooms can be found, boasting all the charm of being set amongst the eaves with fully vaulted ceilings.

Naturally a noteworthy feature of this home is the enviable plot in which it sits; eight acres (STMS) of grounds boast an array of formal gardens and sprawling sun terraces to enjoy long summer evenings with friends and family.

The further grounds on the other side of the country lane showcase two well-defined paddocks with a central field shelter and water supply.

Elsewhere, the grounds provide the space for an array of outbuildings; including two large garages with adjoining store, and a full run of stables with tack room alongside the spacious hard standing.
