The Property
End Farm is a wonderful collection of traditional farm buildings with a handsome Grade II listed farm house at the heart of it all, set within about 9.5 acres of paddocks and gardens.

The main house is of timber frame, with a brick skin including the attractive west facing façade, with distinctive bays. The principal rooms display some fine beams providing some insight into the importance of the house to the local area. The sitting room is double aspect, with open fireplace, with an adjoining dining room, both with views over the walled garden. At the rear of the house is the functional kitchen with lovely views of undulating countryside, alongside a large utility room. A useful study is at the front of the house.

The first floor comprises of two spacious double bedrooms with cupboards and exposed beams, a further double bedroom and two bathrooms. On the second floor is the fourth bedroom, leading through to useful storage rooms.

The house would now benefit from updating, but has the right attributes to start from.

Outbuildings
A major asset to End Farm are the range of outbuildings, totalling over 11,000 square feet of usable space. There is a pleasing mixture of traditional and modern construction, providing an abundance of scope for all manner of uses.

The barns have charming originality, the majority having
been unaltered and preserved. There are tack rooms, stabling, hay barns, cart sheds, workshop, threshing barn, garaging as well as a steel frame general purpose barn measuring 89'3”x 47'8”. There barns are divided into five distinct detached units.

Gardens and Grounds
The farm is approached from the west, on the edge of Fritton Common, to a parking and turning area adjoining the three bay open fronted vehicle stand. The drive continues into the walled garden in front of the house, via a five bar wooden gate, where there is further parking.

The walled garden is mainly lawned, with a high south facing brick wall, and beds of hydrangea and roses, with clipped yew. It is ideally orientated with a south to south west aspect. A further field gate leads from the walled garden into the main gardens that wrap around the house from south to east. This is a substantial area of undulating lawn, with a wildlife pond, mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous beds, with a gravelled path leading to some useful outhouses.

The remaining land comprises mainly established meadowland, divided into paddocks by post and rail or stock fencing, with hedging and mature trees along the dividing fence lines. There are hardstanding areas between the outbuildings, areas of woodland and ponds. The land is private and with good views of surrounding countryside and the common.
