As you approach Orchard Farmhouse, you'll be greeted by a truly charming country house that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Passing through the five bar gates and along the gravel driveway, you'll immediately feel the warmth and welcome of this special home.
Once inside, the expansive hallway sets the tone for the delightful surprises that await. The drawing room is a sight to behold, with its elegant décor and period detailing. It's the perfect spot for hosting formal gatherings or cosy evenings by the contemporary wood-burning stove. The cosy snug and the garden room offer inviting spaces to unwind and take in the beauty of the garden.
The heart of the home is the kitchen, which has been thoughtfully extended to create a wonderful space for cooking and socializing. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find areas for both formal and casual dining, with the bi-fold doors offering a lovely view of the garden. And don't forget the practical touches, like the laundry room, utility room, and a convenient cloakroom.
Spanning approximately three acres, the grounds offer plenty of parking and garaging. To the rear, a south-facing sun terrace provides the ideal spot for soaking up the sun, surrounded by lush lawns and enchanting woodlands with meandering walkways. And tucked behind the garaging, you'll find additional outbuildings that currently house a gym and a sauna, making this enchanting estate a truly welcoming and delightful retreat.
Gardner's Lodge is a wonderful barn conversion that is available by separate negotiation..
SAXLINGHAM NETHERGATE At the centre of Saxlingham Nethergate sits a historic war memorial on a village green. The memorial is surrounded by a mixture of thatched cottages and listed buildings, creating a picturesque village setting. There's also a primary school, and active cricket and bowls clubs. Boudicca Way, named after the Iceni warrior queen, passes through the village and provides a 36 mile walking route through south Norfolk countryside, linking Norwich and Diss. Just 9 miles south of the city, Saxlingham Nethergate is perfectly placed for commuting, whether it's into Norwich, or south to Cambridge and London.
The historic city of Norwich has everything you would desire of a vibrant regional capital. Its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, you'll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.
To the west of the city the University of East Anglia is a remarkable example of brutalist architecture, and the campus is also home to the Sainsbury centre, a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art, gifted by the Sainsbury family. There are also a number of sought after schools and colleges.
It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies. When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
