Forge House is a substantial period family home set in the heart of Yaxham, offering flexible accommodation across the main house and a self-contained annexe. The property blends original character — exposed beams, sash windows and an open fireplace — with a large modern kitchen/breakfast room, multiple reception rooms and a cellar for useful storage. With six bedrooms and five en suites, the layout suits multi-generational living, home-working or a viable holiday/lettings income stream from the annexe.
Externally the home sits on a very large plot with a gated shingle driveway, single garage and substantial outbuildings equipped with power and lighting. The courtyard-style garden is low-maintenance and private, while the site’s scale offers scope for landscaping or further outbuilding use (subject to consents). The property’s setting in a quiet village close to Dereham gives pleasant semi-rural living with local amenities and good schooling nearby.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the house is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated (typical of pre-1900 builds), and broadband speeds are reported as slow. Council tax is above average and services/appliances have not been tested; a purchaser should commission their own surveys and service checks. Overall this is a rare, adaptable period home for a buyer who values character, space and flexible living within a peaceful village setting.
