Honingham

Set amongst 4.5 acres (STMS) of idyllic and varied grounds, this handsome Georgian Farmhouse has undergone an impassioned schedule of renovation under the current ownership and now boasts approximately 4,000 sq.ft. of elegant, timeless interiors showcasing every bit of character one could hope for alongside the subtle modernity required to accompany a busy and fulfilling family life in the country.

Accessed via a long, sweeping driveway lined by handsome mature trees and well-tended lawns, the embrace of Grange Farm is evident the moment you drive through the gates. The prototypical ground floor showcases a classic Georgian tiled reception hall flanked by a pair of formal receptions including the double length sitting room boasting a full spectrum of character features, flooded with light via double glazed sash windows complete with functioning shutters. A formal dining room features some original kitchen cabinetry, making for a splendid room in which to host those near and dear whilst soaking up the views across the front gardens and paddock.

As one continues through the home, the grand formal receptions are balanced with every day family rooms, including the study at the rear of the home, a charming snug and, of course, the sociable kitchen/dining room – an all-important hub to grab some time together around busy schedules. Elsewhere on the ground floor, an excellent wing of essential practicalities includes a handy boot room/alternate entrance alongside a well-equipped utility room and guest WC.

Rising to the first floor, no less than five double bedrooms bring superb versatility to the home. An opulent principal suite enjoys superb proportions alongside a luxurious en-suite with a walk-in shower and free standing bath whilst a further en-suite guest room is complemented by three additional double bedrooms, well served by the central family bathroom.

In a superb addition to the principal home, a newly converted portion of the substantial barn outbuildings now showcases a fully self-contained two bedroom annexe. The finish and styling in here is every bit as inspired and luxurious as the main home with two double bedrooms being served by the well-appointed shower room and the open plan kitchen/sitting room enjoying all the drama of the vaulted ceiling and pleasant views toward the rear garden.

Of course, one of the most noteworthy features of this fine home is the exceptional plot in which it sits. Being positioned so centrally within the grounds means it is totally absorbed within its own environment packed with variety. Two fenced paddocks, one to the front and one to the rear both measure circa 0.9 acres (STMS) whilst the immediate grounds include a quintessential English walled garden and a wonderfully productive kitchen garden in which to while away the hours. A side garden offers sprawling lawns for younger family members to stretch their legs and houses the well-kept tennis court. Along the eastern boundary, there is a magical section of well managed woodlands offering picturesque walks and a natural haven for wildlife and family members alike.

Grange Farm offers a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully renovated period home with extensive grounds, versatile living spaces, and superb ancillary accommodation—ideal for modern family life in a truly exceptional country setting.
