Private Country Home with Extensive Grounds in Emneth

Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000

Appleyard Farm is a home with a story woven deeply into its surroundings. In the same family for several generations and once a thriving working farm, today it offers something increasingly difficult to find, a wonderfully private home surrounded by approximately seven acres of gardens, orchard and open grassland.

Built around 1990, the house offers generous accommodation designed with family life and entertaining in mind. There is an abundance of space and a versatile layout, providing an excellent foundation for a new owner to introduce their own style.

The ground floor is centred around two substantial reception rooms. The lounge has a welcoming feel, with exposed timbers and a brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove creating a natural focal point. The generous dining room provides plenty of space for larger gatherings and retains a decorative fireplace from the original property, a lovely connection to Appleyard Farm’s past.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent guest accommodation. The principal bedroom is especially generous, complete with its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

A substantial garage and collection of outbuildings add another dimension, most notably the large detached barn. Together, they offer considerable versatility and potential for a variety of future uses. Part of the original farmhouse also remains closer to the roadside, adding another layer to a property that has evolved through successive generations. For many local people, Appleyard Farm is remembered as a place where they once came to pick strawberries and apples; for the family, its connection runs through grandparents, parents and generations who lived and worked upon the land.
