Set on a very large plot in a quiet hamlet, this four-bedroom detached modern-farmhouse offers flexible family living with substantial outdoor space. The ground floor has a bright kitchen/breakfast room, utility, lounge with wood-burning stove and adjoining conservatory/dining room — ideal for everyday family life and informal entertaining. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, one en-suite and built-in storage in two rooms.
Outside the plot is a standout feature: private driveway with off-street parking for several vehicles, a garage/workshop and a summerhouse, plus lawned gardens, decked seating areas, raised growing beds and wildlife ponds that will appeal to gardeners and families who value outdoor space. The property is freehold and offered at a price that reflects its generous size and plot.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The EPC is D and the property sits in a medium flood-risk area, so buyers should factor potential insurance and energy improvements into their plans. Its location is rural and quieter — approximately 2 miles from Downham Market for amenities and rail links — which suits buyers seeking a peaceful setting but may not suit those wanting immediate town-centre convenience. The local area is classified as a remoter, established farming community with higher local deprivation scores.
This home will suit a family wanting space to grow, buyers who value cottage-like gardens and an on-site workshop, or anyone planning modest energy upgrades and flood-protection measures. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, flexible accommodation and countryside setting.
