Wilderness Farm is a characterful Grade II listed farmhouse dating from the 1600s, set within approximately 1.53 acres (sts) and backing onto open countryside. The principal house offers five reception/bedroom-sized rooms across about 1,700 sqft, period features, inglenook fireplaces and exposed timbers, plus a conservatory overlooking substantial south-facing gardens. It is offered freehold and chain free.
Two detached barns to the west come with full planning permissions (timber-framed: 2019/1166; steel-framed: 2024/0476) for conversion, presenting clear redevelopment potential for an owner-occupier wanting extra living space or an investor seeking barn-conversion returns. The plot is large with hardstanding and an existing Dutch barn; garden and yard space could be reallocated depending on use.
Buyers should note material constraints: the farmhouse is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and will require listed-building consent; the property is on private drainage and heated by oil. The location is a remoter hamlet classification with average mobile signal and fast broadband — appealing for rural living but less convenient for frequent commuting.
This offering suits purchasers seeking a substantial period home with conversion upside, those wanting generous outdoor space and rural views, or investors prepared to manage listed-building constraints and conversion timelines. All planning references are available on South Norfolk County Council’s website.
