The dining room provides an elegant entertaining space, with access to a cellar comprising two atmospheric barrel-ceilinged rooms. A well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, offering generous storage and work surfaces, flows effortlessly into a superb south-facing garden room.

The gardens are a true highlight, south-facing and bursting with colour, featuring a wide variety of flowering perennials and thriving fruit trees. The summerhouse tucked at the bottom of the garden makes for a wonderful spot to soak in the tranquillity of the surroundings . Manor Farmhouse forms one of just three homes set within approximately a third of an acre (STMS), offering the perfect balance of privacy, character, and country living within easy reach of local amenities.

LINGWOOD
The village of Lingwood is set just off the A47 with good access for Norwich. Lingwood has a good community spirit with a variety of clubs and organisations making use of the village hall. It also benefits from a railway station.

Lingwood merges with the village of Strumpshaw, which is celebrated for its natural allure and rich historical landmarks. Surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Norfolk Broads, this charming village offers a wealth of activities including boating, fishing, and birdwatching, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Adding to its allure, Strumpshaw Hall, an impressive Georgian mansion set within expansive parkland, graces the village with its grandeur.

Nature lovers are drawn to the nearby RSPB Strumpshaw Fen Nature Reserve, renowned for its diverse avian population and tranquil surroundings. Lingwood’s character is defined by its collection of traditional cottages, each nestled within the peaceful countryside, providing residents with a serene and authentic rural lifestyle.

The village’s convenient location offers easy access to the A47, facilitating straightforward journeys to Norwich City Centre and the stunning Norfolk coastline. Additionally, the proximity to local amenities ensures residents have everything they need within reach.

With its idyllic setting and accessibility to both urban amenities and natural wonders, Lingwood embodies the essence of a perfect countryside retreat and remains an ideal place to call home.
