The original part of the home features two generous reception rooms at the front: one currently serving as a formal dining room, the other as a cosy snug.

One of the former barns, originally in disrepair, has been cleverly transformed into an elegant outdoor entertaining area, perfect for al fresco dining and gatherings.
This home effortlessly combines period charm with modern family living, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a truly idyllic location.
MORTON ON THE HILL Nestled in the picturesque Norfolk countryside, Morton on the Hill is a tranquil village offering a slice of rural charm. Located about 8 miles northwest of Norwich, this quaint settlement is steeped in history and surrounded by lush landscapes.
The village is home to St Margaret's Church, a fascinating Grade I listed building with a rich medieval history. Its flint construction and peaceful churchyard provide a glimpse into Norfolk's ecclesiastical heritage.
Surrounded by rolling fields and woodland, Morton on the Hill is ideal for walkers and nature lovers. The nearby River Wensum meanders through the area, offering scenic spots for picnics, fishing, or birdwatching.
Though a peaceful retreat, the village is just a short drive from the vibrant city of Norwich and offers frequents buses to the city centre.
Norwich, an ancient city steeped in a millennium of history, has long been a haven for writers, radicals, and independent thinkers, fostering a rich culture and creative spirit. Its meticulously preserved medieval streets host a thriving community of small businesses, a dynamic culinary scene, and a vibrant arts culture. As a gateway to a county renowned for its pristine landscapes, expansive skies, and untouched vistas, Norwich continues to inspire.
