Built some 300 years ago to be the hub of a large and busy coastal farm, this six bedroom redbrick house has evolved over the centuries to become what it is today, an idyllic family home in an idyllic setting...

Whilst there is a central and more formal front door, this is a farmhouse in Norfolk so of course it is entered via the kitchen door, the closest to the garage and parking. This room absolutely sets the tone for the rest of the property being substantial without imposing, comforting yet practical. Of course there is an Aga at one end, the double butler's sink overlooks the drive so you can see who is coming and going and there is a large walk in pantry. There is ample space for a family sized breakfast table and, possibly its best feature come the winter time, a raised open fireplace. Whilst not completely open plan, there are no doors to the drawing room next door which even at 33ft has formal proportions yet at the same time, with a mirroring raised fireplace, feels cosy and incredibly welcoming and these two rooms flow together very naturally. Beyond this is what we might describe as the central entrance hall with the front door out and the staircase up, yet this space has been given the double utility of also being the more formal dining room, ideal for those larger family gatherings when the kitchen table simply won't do! At the far end of the house is a very generous double bedroom suite with its own door out to the garden so perfect for guests or grandparents alike. Finally, at the far end, there is the business part of the house with a large laundry room and access down to the wine cellar

Upstairs a full length corridor links all the accommodation as well as providing panoramic, elevated views over the Titchwell Nature Reserve and the coast beyond from its seaward facing windows. On the first floor there are four large double bedrooms, three with en suites and all with wonderful southerly views over the gardens and open farmland beyond. The principal bedroom suite is at the eastern end and has a vaulted ceiling, a large dressing area and of course a sumptuous bathroom suite. A further set of stairs takes you up to the second floor and bedroom six which has fantastic views of Thornham and the coast westwards and also bedroom seven.

Outside
The gardens and grounds are a key component to life at Mulberry House, with almost two acres of partly walled gardens, opening out to wide views of farmland to the south. The house is approached through high wrought iron gates, to a private parking and turning area where there is an array of garages and brick outbuildings as well as a small cloistered courtyard immediately off the kitchen which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and BBQs that the British summer cannot spoil! Along the entire southern elevation of the house there are patioed areas that follow the sun around, with an initial formal area of garden. A gardens sweep away from the house to an orchard, a ha-ha and two sides remain of what was once the kitchen garden.
