Description
All properties provide a window into the present lives of the inhabitants but very rarely do you find a home capable of providing an enchanting window into its rich history, predominantly dating back to the 17th Century, with some parts much older than this.
Willow Farm presents a wonderfully rare opportunity to live among a fascinating and eclectic history, with sprawling accommodation offering a warmth of embrace that is almost impossible to replicate today. In its older sections, this idyllic home dates back to 1495, whilst the majority of the farmhouse was added in the mid 17th Century with some more recent additions. Whilst retaining an extraordinary amount of its original character, the property now serves as a highly functional and happy home. Offering the versatile accommodation required to accompany a fulfilling and flexible lifestyle in the country, there's plenty of scope at Willow Farm for the next owner to write their own chapter in its story.
The welcoming reception hall is flanked by two delightful sitting rooms, each boasting a historic fireplace and an individual character of their own. The elegant dining room leads through to the classic farmhouse kitchen with pamment tiled floor, Aga, butler sink and solid timber worktops. The kitchen is perfectly complemented by the well equipped utility room which, with a back door, makes for an ideal boot room and even boasts an adjoining highly practical ground floor shower room.
A large study at the other end of the home enjoys far reaching views of the garden and provides the perfect threshold to what could be an entirely self-contained annexe to the ground floor. A well appointed wet room serves this space leading to a characterful conversion of an outbuilding, now providing yet more highly versatile accommodation, even having its own kitchenette.
The first floor is home to no less than four charming bedrooms including the large principal bedroom benefitting from en-suite WC, and three further bedrooms which are well served the by a central family bathroom.
Amongst the finest features of this home is the plot in which it sits. Approximately four acres (STMS) of varied and well tended grounds include a large driveway complemented by the three bay car port, and formal gardens surrounding the home consisting of manicured lawns, well stocked flower beds and interesting feature trees. Pleasingly rewilded sections beyond an orchard showcase seasonal natural ponds providing an ideal threshold to the two extraordinary paddocks. A perfect equestrian facility, the well-designed stable block stands amongst traditional grasslands, with an array of wild flowers enjoyed very much by the a variety of butterflies!
MORLEY ST BOTOLPH A small village near Wymondham, Morley St Botolph enjoys a delightful countryside setting and is perfectly placed for access to Norwich, Cambridge and further afield. The village has an excellent primary school, a village hall and sports hall, and the well regarded Wymondham College is on the doorstep.
