Lower Farm Stud comes to the market offering a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional Norfolk farmhouse with the valuable additional of a high specification, detached outbuilding providing generous ancillary accommodation. Set in mature grounds of over 3 acres the house is estimated to date from about the late 18th century, in traditional carrstone faced walls and galletting and pantile roofs. Accessed via a tree lined lane this is an exceptional opportunity for rural countryside living whilst still being within only an 8 mile drive of all the amenities offered in nearby King's Lynn. The current owners purchased the property around 2014 and have made numerous improvements and upgrades in that time including a new bathroom suite, the creation of an ensuite to the master bedroom and wool carpet being laid in the first floor bedrooms. Finishing touches such as premium traditional toggle switches have been added and all windows and external doors to the main house were replaced with new bespoke solid oak frames by Bullen Joinery, Cromer. The principal reception rooms to the ground floor benefit from functioning fireplaces with a multifuel stove in the sitting room, woodburning stove in the dining room and an impressive York stone fireplace in the drawing room ready for a stove to be installed. Of particular note is the detached two storey outbuilding providing extensive ancillary accommodation.
