A property with excellent potential and wonderful privacy with 5.5 acres.
Surrounded by countryside, Craymere Farm is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a period farmhouse set within 5.5 acres. With no neighbours in sight, and rolling farmland all around, the farm has the rare commodity of complete privacy, as well as peace and quiet given the rural North Norfolk location.
The period farmhouse, likely early 1900's, of Norfolk red brick and a pantile roof, was extended in the late 1980's to create a comfortable family home. This addition added a spacious triple aspect sitting room, with sliding glazed doors to the south, and a fireplace, and a first floor principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The original house hosts an impressive open plan dining/living room of 10.2m x 3.5m, with the traditional group of kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, pantry, utility and WC at the back of the house. Alongside the principal bedroom and en suite, the first floor hosts two further double bedrooms, a bedroom/study, and a smaller room suited to storage or an office. These are served by a family bathroom and WC.
The house has been owned by the same family from 1970, with upgrades and extension in 1987. The house would now benefit from updating, and given the setting, and outbuildings in close proximity, there is clearly tremendous potential subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The house is not listed.
Gardens and grounds
The gardens and grounds of Craymere Farm are a brilliant asset to the lifestyle the property could provide. From the initial gardens to the house, to the meadowland and outbuildings, there are so many opportunities to create something very special.
The entrance to the farm is to a parking and turning area adjoining the house and garage. The drive then continues to a former yard and to the entrance to the meadows. The gardens to the house are predominantly to the west and south, with an area of lawn to the west set between outbuildings, and further lawns to the south that sweep round to an orchard to the west, and greenhouse.
An arch through beech hedging leads to grassed area, formerly the stable yard, with traditional brick and flint outbuildings providing tack room and a workshop of 7.9m x 4.75m, and a pair of brick built stables opposite. Further outbuildings include the extensive garage measuring 14.6 metres long, and a stand alone three bay cart lodge with enclosed and open fronted storage space. All the outbuildings could be utilised to suit personal requirements, and provide obvious potential.
The majority of the land is a large meadow, of about 4.6 acres, with established grazing land enclosed by mature hedging and oak trees. The land has been used for horses, sheep and hay crops, and is divided into two large fields and one smaller field. At the entrance to the meadow is a dutch barn.

I love the rural position of Craymere Farm, and the amount of scope there is to let the imagination run will on changing things to suit a specific lifestyle.
