A generous six bedroom detached period house with mature gardens in attractive rural hamlet.
Cherry Tree Farm is an unlisted period timber framed house with red-brick elevations and a wealth of original features, including exposed timber beams, mullioned windows, Tudor fireplaces and traditional Norfolk pamment tiled flooring. It offers over 4,000 sq. ft. of internal accommodation arranged across three airy floors and sits centrally within a plot just shy of an acre amongst a scenic countryside location.
The oak framed front porch opens to the hall and stairway and flows into the handsome multi-aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, and a peaceful morning room, both with views of the grounds and wood burning stoves. The accommodation leads naturally through into the dining room, with bi-folding doors to a bright oak framed conservatory. Further is a spacious country kitchen, with an array of navy shaker-style cabinetry under wooden work surfaces. A utility room and an elegant family bathroom complete the ground floor.
The plentiful first floor, accessed via two separate stairways, has six adaptable and well-proportioned bedrooms with tranquil views of the garden. The rooms are well served by a large family bathroom with a freestanding clawfoot bath and separate walk-in shower and an additional shower room. The second floor reveals three further spacious and versatile rooms, currently being used as a gym/games room, a quiet home office space and a useful storage room.
This property has 0.8 acres of land.
Outside
Cherry Tree Farm enjoys a considerable private plot of just under an acre with enclosed well-established natural gardens providing a quiet secluded wildlife haven with a wide variety of mature trees including indian bean and snake bark. To the rear of the property is an ornamental parterre and a pleached lime tree walk, as well as ponds, a potager garden with raised growing beds and an orchard with pear, quince, apple, plum, damson, walnut, crab apple, cherry, mulberry and fig. The detached garden room building with brick based oak frame under oak shingle roof provides a fantastic space for entertaining with a wood burning stove. A paved courtyard with greenhouse also offers an ideal spot for al fresco dining, whilst a detached brick-built double garage beside a gravelled driveway provides ample parking, supplemented by an additional off-lane parking area for numerous vehicles.
Agents Note: Cherry Tree Farm has a right of way over the drive to the south and a right to take water from the well.
