Impressive modern farmhouse in countryside setting and about 3 acres with annexe accommodation
Occupying a picturesque setting on the fringes of Winfarthing, this exceptional five-bedroom detached farmhouse enjoys an enviable position surrounded by open countryside, extending to about 3 acres (stms). Presented to an impeccable standard throughout, the property combines generous and versatile accommodation with beautifully maintained grounds, a self-contained annexe, substantial outbuildings and uninterrupted views across the Norfolk landscape. A rare opportunity, the property is a “modern” Farmhouse, having been totally redeveloped by the current owners to create a truly special home.
The property has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, benefitting from an air source heating system with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators serving the first floor.
The accommodation comprises of: a welcoming entrance hall, opening into a charming dual-aspect snug where large windows frame views of the surrounding gardens whilst flooding the space with natural light. Beyond, an inner hall with an attractive oak staircase rises to the first floor and leads through to the impressive principal reception areas.
Centrally within the house lies a superb open-plan sitting room, a wonderfully light-filled space enhanced by full-height glazing and double doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond. A feature fireplace with inset LPG fire creates an elegant focal point, while an open connection to the dining room ensures excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining.
The dining room enjoys attractive Indian stone flooring and further double doors to the garden. The adjoining kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke wall and base units beneath granite work surfaces. A substantial central island provides additional preparation and informal dining space, complemented by a Rangemaster double oven and provision for an American-style fridge freezer.
Supporting the kitchen is a practical utility room with stable door access to the rear and adjoining boiler room with separate cloakroom. A dedicated study offers an ideal place to work from home, complete with exposed oak beams and delightful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The first floor is arranged around a spacious landing where large windows continue to maximise the property's outstanding outlook. There are five well-proportioned double bedrooms, including two with en suite facilities.
The principal bedroom suite enjoys particularly impressive views across the grounds and natural pond, creating a tranquil retreat. The room is further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, vanity wash basin and WC.
Complementing the main residence is a self-contained annexe, ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or potential ancillary income (subject to any necessary consents). The annexe includes a fitted kitchen with integrated cooking facilities, an open-plan living and sleeping area overlooking the gardens, and a modern shower room.
