A grade II listed family home with self-contained annex.
Originally dating back to the 1520s with later additions, Holgate Farm is a beautifully preserved Grade II listed home set within approximately half an acres. Rich in character and charm with many original features retained, the property offers versatile family living space across three floors, along with a separate, self-contained two-bedroom annex perfect for multi-generational living, entertaining or as a source of additional income. Situated in Bunwell, a rural village easily accessed via the A11 with excellent amenities including a primary school, church, community hall, children's playground, village store, post office and garage, and is in close proximity to two market towns and both with excellent private and state secondary schools.
Spanning approximately 2,860 sq ft, the main house is full of period features including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. You’re welcomed into an entrance porch that leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room which is the hub of the house and features a kitchen island with a breakfast bar, a traditional four oven Aga and underfloor heating. Off the kitchen is a spacious living room with an exposed brick fireplace and wood burner, and a dining room from which you can access the garden, as well as a large utility room and cloakroom. From here, you can access the dining room. A study and further office provide flexible space for work or hobbies.
Upstairs, the first floor presents a striking principal bedroom with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower. Two further bedrooms and a family shower room complete this level. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.
The annex offers independent accommodation with its own kitchen/breakfast room, including electric Aga, a ground floor shower room, and large sitting room with patio doors leading to the garden and private patio. A second bedroom is located on the ground floor, while the principal bedroom is upstairs. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams continue the characterful theme throughout. A workshop at the end of the Annex provides plenty of storage space.
Outside, the property is approached via a horse-shoe gravelled drive with two five bar wooden gates and leading to a double garage. Behind the garage is a gravelled area for additional car parking. A pretty front lawn is framed by mature shrubs and trees, while the rear garden features a large patio area and a raised decked pergola perfect for entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature deciduous and evergreen trees and is bordered by hedging and enjoys open views across the surrounding fields. An abundance of birds and other wildlife is enjoyed by the owners.
In total, the property, annex, and outbuildings extend to approximately 4,393 sq ft.

What stood out to me about this property is the amount of character it house with exposed beams and brickwork.
