Property
Stepping into Dulls Farm we are welcomed via the reception hall where the scale and stature of this home are instantly apparent. Our stairs rise to the first floor and doors to either side open to the two fine reception rooms. The sitting room enjoys two windows that command a view over the grounds and pour light onto the solid wood floor. A cast iron fireplace offers a cosy focal point to the space. Over the hall we step into the dining room, the proportions of this space have allowed it to serve as a comfortable snooker room. Two cupboards are set to either side of the vast open fireplace. A window looks onto the gardens and a door enters the inner hallway. Off the inner hall we find the cloakroom and large scullery which offers a versatile range of options for modern use. A door opens to the stairs leading down to the fully brick lined, arched twin cellar. At the head of the cellar stairs we step into the farmhouse kitchen dining room, offering an abundance of space and one of the best views on the ground floor. A classic range of units line the walls and provide an extensive working area above. Set to the fireplace a wood burning stove really makes this room the 'hub of the home'. At the rear, a door opens to the rear entrance where a door opens to the garden. A second staircase rise to the rear landing and a door opens to the vast utility room which echoes the character of the home whilst serving ideally as a modern laundry and utility space. Returning to the reception hall we climb the main stairs to the impressive landing and pass a door that links the front and rear portions of the first floor. Off the main landing we find two exceptional double bedrooms that mirror the proportions of the reception rooms below. The larger of these enjoys an elevated dual aspect whilst the slightly smaller offers a walk in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. At the rear the second landing leads to two further impressive double bedrooms and the vast family bathroom. The second staircase returns to the rear entrance area and completes the accommodation.

Outside
Approaching from Dulls Road which links between Loddon & Bungay we take the properties private driveway and pass through the stunning South Norfolk countryside, at the head of the drive a twin five bar gate opens to the grounds where the driveway splits leading to both the front of the house and the farm buildings. Passing the front of this imposing home we find a large parking and turning area by the northern face of the house. The formal gardens wrap around the front and rear of the farmhouse affording superb views over the grounds and surrounding farm land. On the northern boundary we find a well drained stock fenced paddock that approaches two acres (stms), whilst the remaining grounds lead from the farmyard and offer a continuous open meadow planted with grass and self seeding wildflowers. A pond divides the farmyard and the main acreage. The retired farm buildings offer a wealth of potential and consist of an expansive steel framed, open sided barn, three brick buildings and a substantial dog run.
