abbotFox Bespoke presents High London Farm, an idyllic country retreat with the perks of a modern family home surrounded by three acres of private gardens with field views in every direction.

From Our Sellers

“We love spending time in the sitting room, whatever the time of year. It’s cosy in winter and in summer, we can watch the sun set over the garden. It’s absolutely beautiful.”

Introduction

High London Farm combines the presence of an idyllic country retreat with the perks of a modern family home.

Inside

Exposed brick and beams combined with vaulted ceilings and spacious reception rooms give this five-bedroom home a truly timeless feel.

It feels much older than it is and there’s real flexibility to its living spaces. Its distinctive h-shaped layout is reminiscent of a traditional hall house and its reception rooms feel both private and sociable.

The open-plan kitchen and breakfast room would be ideal for dinner parties or gatherings at Christmas, but there’s also a great deal of intimacy in the snug and study which can be found in the opposite wing.

Upstairs, five good-sized bedrooms are accessed off a central hall, all with farmhouse-style vaulted ceilings.

Outside

High London Farm offers the best of both worlds. It’s surrounded by three acres of private gardens and enjoys field views in every direction, but with Winfarthing and Diss just short distances away, it still doesn’t feel too far off the beaten track.

A large terrace provides the perfect place for al fresco dining and there’s also a lovely summerhouse which has its own TV point.

There’s plenty of off-road parking thanks to a good-sized driveway and two bay garage, which also has a modern studio apartment above it. Further storage is provided by a large oak-framed outbuilding.

Reception Rooms

Much of the ground floor is dominated by the sitting room, which extends to over 570 sq ft. Its full wall of windows offers almost-panoramic views over the garden, French doors lead outside and, on the opposite side, there is a cosy gas fire housed by a large brick chimney.

A wide opening in the sitting room leads through to an kitchen breakfast room, which has a good-sized dining area and enjoys access to the terrace.

Elsewhere, a snug provides a smaller and more informal space in which to relax.

Bedrooms And Bathrooms

Five double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms are located on the first floor, accessed by a u-shaped staircase and set off a large and airy landing.

Most of the bedrooms have windows to two sides and countryside views, and two also have their own en suites.

The family bathroom is large in size and has a shower as well as a freestanding bath.

There is also an additional cloakroom downstairs.

Features

The hall house-style sitting room provides a warm welcome and is a great focal point, drawing together the two wings and providing a really sociable living space.

Overall, accommodation is well-arranged and finely balanced, combining a traditional, farmhouse-style aesthetic with a much more modern finish.

The property’s sprawling three-acre grounds are a real highlight, combining beautifully manicured lawns with an eye-catching pond and fountain.

The extensive terrace, which links around the property, is a great extension to the indoor living space, and encourages guests to filter in and out, especially on warm summer days.

Practicalities

The kitchen is exceptionally well-fitted with bespoke, handmade cabinetry that runs from floor-to-ceiling around the room, and black granite worktops which provide plenty of worktop space - making it ideal for more than one cook. Carrying on the farmhouse-style vibe is a large range cooker, which is set into a hearth, and there is also a good-sized breakfast bar in the centre.

Just off the kitchen there is a separate utility room, which includes a small cloakroom and fitted cabinets, and the ground floor also has a useful study.

Outside, a large oak-framed outbuilding provides plenty of storage space and there is a modern studio apartment above the double garage. This is fitted with a bathroom and kitchen.

Services

Mains electricity and water. Heating is provided by an air source heat pump, and there is an lpg gas fire. The property also has its own private drainage and treatment plant.

Location

High London Farm is situated in three acres of private gardens and is a short drive from Winfarthing, a small south Norfolk village just under four miles from Diss.

Winfarthing is home to a pub, village hall, primary school, church and community farm.

Families

The property is ideal for those wanting to embrace life in the country thanks to its beautiful surroundings and countryside views.

The local pub is family-friendly and serves homemade food, but further amenities can also be found in the nearby town of Diss, which has a number of shops, pubs, eateries and a leisure centre. Its mere, located just off the high street, is particularly well-loved by young families.

Diss offers a mainline railway station, connecting the town to Norwich, London and Ipswich, and good road links thanks to its proximity to the A140.

Family-friendly attractions such as Bressingham Steam and Gardens and Banham Zoo are also closeby, and the surrounding villages are well-served by several small primary schools. The nearest high schools are in Diss, Attleborough and Thetford.
