Description

DESCRIPTION Old Farm House comprises a stunning period home of great character beautifully positioned in an unspoilt area of countryside and formerly part of the Honing Estate. Constructed of mellow Norfolk brick under pantile roof, with the lower two storeys composed of brickwork of the 16th or early 17th century in a rough English bond. Crostwight Hall and the associated buildings were purchased by 'Hanger Developments' c1985 and were commended with an award in 1991 by RICS for their sensitivity and skill using flint, stone, and brick quoining to harmonise with the old buildings.

Old Farm House offers well-arranged accommodation on three floors and is presented in immaculate order throughout with wood burner to the double height sitting room and shutters to both sitting room and front door. The ground floor enjoys a stunning stone floor, with access provided to the kitchen dining room and the principal dual aspect sitting room. Of particular note is the balcony above the sitting room which enjoys an excellent range of fitted book shelving. Further rooms to the ground floor include a utility room and cloakroom.

There are four bedrooms over two floors: bedroom two with en-suite bathroom on the first floor with the principal bedroom, two further bedrooms and a shower room on the second floor. The house offers versatility with the second bedroom currently used as a lovely upper sitting room/snug with access to the balcony through the ensuite. The principal bedroom enjoys fine views over the grounds to both front and rear.

The gardens and grounds are a major feature. The rear garden faces east and the grounds to the front of the property are south and west facing. The gardens have been lovingly tended and are mainly laid to lawn with a delightful range of herbaceous beds and borders. A particular feature is the terrace which enjoys fine views down towards the gardens and distant woodland. There is a large outbuilding positioned centrally ideal for garden furniture and tools, constructed of brick and flint with a corrugated iron roof, and a double garage accessed by the rear driveway with additional parking for two vehicles.

The property is accessed via a tree-lined private drive from Heath Road, either to the front, where parking is available to visitors and access is enjoyed via a pretty, shingled path, or to the rear. There is a private woodland to the east including wild bluebell and garlic woods beyond the driveway. The rear garden is completely private, including patio with herbaceous border and further down the garden opens up to include a secluded area on the right, with a red brick patio bordered by the brick walls and the rose-covered flint wall of the outbuilding - a former piggery.

The surrounding properties also carry a fascinating history, and the development is beautifully maintained. The original Crostwight Hall belonged to the First Prime Minister of Great Britain, Robert Walpole who acquired the property in 1720.

Services: Mains water and electricity. Heating via LPG tank. Communal private drainage. 

LOCATION Crostwight is a small village and former civil parish in the north-east of Norfolk just off the A149.
