The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer Willow Cottage Farm, a charming character home occupying beautifully maintained grounds of around 6 acres, in a private and peaceful setting on the outskirts of Dereham. The property is perfectly set up for equestrian enthusiasts, with 5 acres of paddocks, a well-equipped stable yard, a 40m x 20m training arena, and a sand and rubber turnout area with a stable. The property offers well-proportioned and adaptable accommodation, with a stunning array of original features on display within the original part of the house. There is the added benefit of a self-contained 1-bedroom annexe, known as Sundance Barn, which has provided a useful source of additional income, but could also easily be incorporated into the main house if required. The rural surroundings of Badley Moor create a pleasant atmosphere of peace and privacy; however, the property is only a two minute drive away from major road networks and a 5-minute drive into the centre of Dereham.
WILLOW COTTAGE FARM
Visitors are welcomed through the porch into a dual aspect reception room (listed as the snug), which has an original fireplace and dual aspect views. The snug leads into the stunning 21ft sitting/dining room, which displays a wealth of character features, including a beamed ceiling, exposed brick and flint work, and a wood burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is another well-proportioned family space, with an extensive collection of storage units alongside an oil-fired Aga, with plenty of room for a breakfast table with chairs. The adjacent utility/boot room provides additional storage space, as well as having a door into the inner hall. The ground floor bedroom accommodation includes a large master room and a second double room, served by a neatly appointed bathroom.
Upstairs in the original part of the cottage, there are three further more compact bedrooms, one of which has served as a dressing area. The first floor enjoys a warm and characterful atmosphere, with exposed wall timbers and brickwork.
SUNDANCE BARN
In addition to the main house, the annexe has provided the owner's with a useful additional income, as well as serving as a useful bolthole for visiting guests. The main living space is an open-plan area with a wood burning stove and a compact kitchen area, with room for a dining table alongside lounge furniture. The bedroom is a comfortable double room with an en-suite shower room.
GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
The property is approached over a private road, with gated access onto a private driveway which provides plenty of parking in front of the house and extending to the side of the property to a large parking area at the rear. The driveway is comfortably wide enough for a horsebox or lorry to gain access to the yard at the rear of the house.
The front gardens are a pleasant feature, with an array of mature trees interspersed throughout a neatly maintained lawn, which also houses a pond which serves as a haven for local wildlife.
The equestrian facilities are located to the rear (north) of the house. Beyond the parking area is the stable block, equipped with 7 loose boxes, 2 tack rooms and a 40ft open-fronted barn. The buildings are arranged around a block-paved yard, which also includes a utility/kitchen.
The paddocks extend along the northern boundary, measuring over 250ft at the widest point and equating to around 5 acres of delightful tree-lined pasture. This area also incorporates a fenced 40m x 20m sand and silica training menage.
