DESCRIPTION

Malthouse Farm offers an exceptional first impression, approached via a charming drive and set in an idyllic rural location surrounded by open countryside. Located on the edge of the sought-after West Norfolk village of Beachamwell, this beautifully presented country home sits behind an elegant carriage driveway and is nestled within just over four acres (STMS) of beautiful, landscaped grounds. The property has been tastefully and fully refurbished and thoughtfully extended, blending modern comfort with historic charm. With its carefully preserved period features and graceful proportions, this remarkable home is a true celebration of its heritage.

This fully refurbished property presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in ready home with no major work needed. The renovation includes three brand-new roofs, new plumbing, and a full electrical re-wire, ensuring modern safety and efficiency throughout. Additional improvements, such as new guttering and a professionally installed damp proof course to the ground floor, offer long-term structural protection. Every detail of the home has been thoughtfully updated, making it a smart investment. Carefully designed to enhance natural light, improve flow, and introduce modern functionality, this property blends fresh, contemporary energy with the timeless character of its historic roots.

The scale and elegance of the home are immediately apparent. High ceilings adorned with period detailing, expansive sash windows, and a wealth of natural light set the tone for what lies beyond—a masterful fusion of timeless character and modern functionality.

At the heart of the home lies the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room (31’10 x 27’8)—a space designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Warm and inviting, it features a log burner, two striking roof lanterns, and three sets of French doors that open onto the wrap-around terrace and landscaped gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is equipped with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry and premium worktops, combining style with practicality. It boasts ample storage, a double sink, and an array of high-spec integrated appliances, including two fan ovens, an additional steam-function oven, microwave, wine cooler, and a sleek induction hob with overhead extractor. A dedicated built-in space is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a large fridge-freezer, ensuring the kitchen meets the demands of modern family life.

An archway with a practical sliding door leads into the study/library (17’7 x 13’3). Quiet, dual-aspect, and bathed in natural light, this beautifully appointed space is lined with bespoke fitted cabinetry and shelving, making it ideal for reading, reflection, or remote working in peace and privacy.

Blending the ease of open plan living with the charm of more intimate, traditional spaces, the home also features a series of elegant reception rooms. Both the sitting room (21’10 x 19’3) and formal dining room (20’4 x 18’3) exude warmth and sophistication, enhanced by beautiful bay windows, log burners, and bespoke mouldings that reflect the home’s fine craftsmanship. A concealed drinks cabinet in the sitting room adds a playful yet refined touch—one of many thoughtful details that elevate the property’s design and comfort.

At the far end of the home, a generously proportioned reception room (19’7 x 17’0) offers exceptional flexibility—whether used as a snug, games room, or a self-contained space for multi-generational living. Conveniently located near the rear entrance, it adjoins a beautifully crafted bespoke utility room (14’4 x 8’5), boot room (18’1 x 9’7), and downstairs WC (7’3 x 5’3). Thoughtfully designed, the utility area also lends itself perfectly to use as a second kitchen—ideal for seamless entertaining or for keeping the main living areas clutter-free during busy family gatherings and special occasions.

Upstairs, five generously sized double bedrooms provide peaceful and private retreats for family and guests alike. Each room is individually styled, bathed in natural light, and effortlessly blends period charm with modern comfort. The principal bedroom (19’4 x 18’3) is a standout feature, boasting a vaulted ceiling, dual-aspect views, a walk-through dressing room (13’7 x 7’4), and a luxuriously appointed en-suite (13’3 x 7’4) with a large walk-in shower, double basin vanity, WC, and heated towel rail. Two additional bathrooms—one featuring both a separate bath and shower (11'6" x 11'2"), and a second, a well-appointed shower room (8'2" x 5'11")—serve the remaining bedrooms with ease and elegance. A Jack-and-Jill dressing room (12’1 x 5’0) further enhances the practicality of bedrooms three (12’9 x 12’3) and four (12’10 x 12’4), adding to the home’s thoughtfully designed layout. Bedrooms two (18’0 x 13’8) and five (12’11 x 10’9) are spacious rooms, currently serving as guest accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The grounds at Malthouse Farm are a captivating feature, offering a perfect blend of formal beauty and practical spaces. The part-walled garden provides a peaceful sanctuary, while sweeping lawns offer plenty of room for outdoor activities.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property includes paddocks and a manège, ideal for training or leisurely riding. A collection of outbuildings, including stables, a tack room, garage, and storage rooms, offers significant potential—whether for conversion into additional living spaces (subject to planning), creating dedicated hobby rooms, or simply maintaining their current use for practical purposes. With a variety of outdoor options, the grounds offer both functionality and opportunity.
