About this property

DESCRIPTION Holgate Farmhouse comprises a delightful family home positioned in the heart of the sought after village of Bunwell. The house, associated gardens, annexe and double garage are particularly attractive and importantly, well set back from the road. The whole is a wonderfully peaceful offering in a special part of southwest Norfolk, surrounded by neighboring farmland with lovely views across adjoining farmland.

The house is listed grade II as a property of architectural and historic interest and dates to the 16th century with later additions. The original construction is of timber frame with a Roughcast and applied lime render which was installed later creating a decorative façade. The house is very attractive being approached at the front into a small porch with space for shoes and coats which flows immediately into the hub of the home being the kitchen dining room.

This special space enjoys a vast array of exposed beams to both the walls and ceilings as well as exposed brick and attractive joinery which continue from the kitchen through to the dining area/snug. The kitchen itself benefits from a central island with a breakfast bar and there are a good range of base units with butler sink, and Aga which acts as a vital component of Holgate Farmhouse.

The principal dual aspect sitting room is approached off the inner hall from the kitchen with the hall providing access to a snug and a further hall leads through to a study and out to the garden. The remaining rooms on the ground floor all link in very well with one another and comprise a garden room, utility and cloakroom.

The bedroom accommodation is positioned across the first and second floors. The first floor provides access to the principal bedroom, guest bedroom and bedroom three as well as a shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys a super en-suite with shower. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor. All of the bedrooms at Holgate Farmhouse are comfortable doubles.

We draw your attention to the floorplan as to how the accommodation is arranged.
