The combination of the main house, the cottage, swimming pool, outbuildings, paddock, walled garden, orchard and about 2.7 acres, yet within a couple of miles of the Norfolk coastline, is an increasingly rare offering particularly in a convenient village setting.The house is thought to have once been the site of the Guildhall, dating back to circa 1400, with some of the patterned brick work and knapped flint remains reused in the creation of the farmhouse. The main house is believed to date back to circa 1600 with later additions, with the distinctive brick and flint work on the south facing facade with striking arched Gothic windows.The current custodians of the house have made significant changes and improvements, not least with the substantial wing added to the east of the house which has underfloor heating controlled by a Honeywell system, the system also controls all the radiators in the house. This superbly designed space is predominantly open plan, with copious amounts of natural light through roof lanterns, and bi-fold doors to the east, south and west elevations. The layout has been utilised successfully with a stylish contemporary kitchen, including a large island unit, and north facing pantry. This is open plan to a dining area, a living area with TV points and a further living area, with all three areas enjoying bi-fold doors out to terraces. These are carefully positioned to make the most of morning, afternoon and evening sun with the terrace set within the walled garden of particular note, with glass balustrade and views of the established topiary.This contemporary space blends seamlessly into the original house, with the more traditional rooms including a drawing room and dining room with working fireplaces and a sitting room.
