Yaxham, Dereham

Guide Price £500,000 - £525,000. This rare and wonderful opportunity allows you to own a truly characterful home, seamlessly blending country cottage charm with modern comforts. Nestled in a peaceful village setting, Quince Farm sits on a generous 0.63-acre corner plot, offering the perfect balance of privacy, space, and a thriving village lifestyle.

Stepping inside, the heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, where exposed beams, rustic brickwork flooring, and soft natural light create an inviting space to gather. The kitchen is both charming and practical, with ample storage and countryside views, while the dining area is perfect for long, leisurely meals with family and friends. After dinner, retreat to the cosy sitting room, where a wood-burning stove provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere—ideal for unwinding on a quiet evening.

The cottage is further enhanced by a separate dwelling, most recently used as two art studios. These versatile rooms offer excellent potential for guest accommodation, a home office, or even a rental opportunity. In addition, three outbuildings provide further scope for development, whether for creative pursuits, storage, or additional living space.

The outdoor space is a true highlight, with its expansive, beautifully maintained gardens. A haven for nature lovers, the grounds offer plenty of room for relaxation, gardening, and outdoor activities. Whether enjoying a summer barbecue on the patio, watching children play on the lawn, or simply unwinding with a book beneath a tree, this is a garden to be cherished.

Despite its tranquil location, Quince Farm is conveniently close to local amenities, schools, and the market town of Dereham. The nearby countryside and scenic walks only add to the appeal, making this an exceptional opportunity to embrace the best of rural living in a truly special home.
