Description
Description
West End Farm, located within the broads, is a characterful collection of family home, outbuildings and charming walled garden, paddock and young woodland, presenting a wonderful lifestyle opportunity.
The Grade II listed farmhouse, with attractive main façade, has been extensively updated by the current custodians, to now present a comfortable and well appointed home over three floors. Typically for a Norfolk farmhouse of this vintage, the main door enters into the staircase hall, however day to day comings and goings are via the eastern elevation taking in the walled gardens. Formal and informal rooms give the house a lovely balance, including an elegant panelled drawing room and a spacious dining room, alongside a comfortable sitting room; all the aforementioned have fireplaces. The kitchen is a great focal point for life at West End Farm, with fitted cabinetry, Aga and companion, and breakfast table, and dual aspect. A glazed link access the Victorian outhouses which have been cleverly converted into a utility room, WC, boot room and pantry, with a useful cellar at the heart of the house. An oak frame addition links the house to the garage block, part of which has been converted to a ground floor double bedroom, with en suite wet room, and therefore future proofing the house.
The first floor, accessed by either of two staircases, has three spacious double bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and a particularly large en suite bath/shower room, with a further double bedroom at the front of the house again with original wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A panelled library room presents a calming space to enjoy, with high quality joinery. This room leads on to a further double bedroom, with wardrobe doors along one wall that cleverly conceals an entrance to an en suite shower room with a fine view over neighbouring countryside, and a walk in wardrobe. The second floor has two double bedrooms, one of which has been used as an office with plenty of plug points, with a bathroom between the two rooms. Further attic rooms provide excellent storage.
Gardens
The gardens and grounds are a delightful feature of West End Farm, and much like the house they have been carefully improved and added to, to compliment the house perfectly. The entrance sweeps up to the house, to a turning circle framed with clipped box hedging, with parking in front of the house. A second drive leads into a substantial courtyard, framed by a line of outhouses with wood stores and general storage, and the original garage block. Both the aforementioned provide considerable scope for a buyer to tailor the buildings to suit their needs.
The walled garden opens from the east of the house, and is truly charming, with many points of interest. Expanses of lawn are divided by gravelled paths, bordered with beds of lavender and box topiary and well stocked herbaceous beds. A stand of pleached hornbeam is visually impressive and serves to divide the garden into rooms, together with clipped yew hedging. A deep long border runs the length of the south-west facing high wall, well stocked and with roses and other trained plants adorning the wall itself. Nestled in one corner of the walled garden, behind its own wall, is an ornamental pond fashioned from the original swimming pool, with summer house and wisteria clad pergola. This is a wonderfully private and sheltered area to enjoy.
Beyond the walled garden is a thriving kitchen garden with soft fruit, espaliered fruit, productive beds for rotating vegetables and salads, fruit cage, and an established orchard. The land then opens up to an expanse of wild flower meadow, with mown paths meandering through it, beyond which is a young wooded area with a variety of native trees, with a belt planted along the northern edge of the meadow. The gardens are a haven for wildlife, and enjoy all the elements of a country lifestyle on a manageable scale.
