Waytes House is a substantial Grade II listed village house with fine views of the church and complete with a self contained holiday let/annexe, as well as an abundance of period features with exposed ceiling timbers and fireplaces.

The accommodation is set over two floors and comprises an entrance staircase hall, a lovely sitting room with a central fireplace with a wood-burning stove, atmospheric dining room with exposed ceiling timber and an inglenook fireplace, and a well-fitted modern kitchen with a wide range of fitted units with a Rayburn.

The garden room, just off the staircase hall provides views of the rear garden, and completing the ground floor accommodation is a second conservatory leading to a utility and cloakroom.

The first floor serves bedroom one with a well fitted en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family shower room.

Outside, the property is approached via a cathedral-style gate, as well as a pedestrian gate that leads onto the driveway with plenty of parking and access to the garage. The annexe is a fine conversion and provides alternative uses such as a holiday let or a useful annexe allowing flexible accommodation or multi-generational living. The main grounds are well-planted and provide a variety of shrub borders with roses and wisteria, lawn, a lovely feature pond, and summer house.

The vaulted annexe accommodation, with exposed beams, is set over one floor and comprises a well-fitted kitchen breakfast room with a wide range of fitted units, a bright and airy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and access to the private garden. There are two well-appointed bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate bathroom. 

HORSHAM ST FAITH Horsham St Faith is a quiet village conveniently located approximately 5 miles north of Norwich, which offers a number of sought after schools and colleges as well as a large number of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and services. The Cathedral City of Norwich offers access to all the major rail links and Norwich International Airport.

Horsham St Faith itself is surrounded by delightful countryside, yet benefits from amenities including local schooling, popular restaurants/pubs and a convenience store.

Thought to have been settled in early Saxon times, the village takes its name from the River Hor, which runs through it on its way from Horsford to Horstead and a Benedictine priory, founded in honour of the French Saint Faith. The village has seen a succession of Lords sitting in the manor house, which was converted from the old priory. The monks' refectory still remains, and contains its original 13th century wall painting the only one of its type in England.

The parish church of St Mary and St Andrew is a Grade 1-listed building that includes some fascinating features. Horsham St Faith also saw action in WW2, when Spitfires were flown from the base - now Norwich International Airport.

The village offers good access to the Norfolk broads and the north Norfolk Coast with its attractive coastline, as well as delightful countryside walks and nature reserves just a few miles away.
