Description
Description
Set at the end of a tree lined drive, a legacy of it’s former use as a renowned stud farm for Hackney horses, Stud Farm house is an impressive family home set in immaculate grounds of about 5.5 acres. Dating back to the 1800’s, the house enjoys plenty of Victorian influence resulting in rooms with tall ceilings, plenty of natural light, and period features throughout. Yet given its age, it provides a functionality for a thriving modern family life, with both the house and land providing a lifestyle that incorporates everything from ponies, many summer sports, outside dining and entertaining to filling the house for a cosy Christmas.
The hub of the house is the farm house kitchen, with original tiled floor, handmade cabinetry, Lacanche cooker, direct access to an outside terrace, and a wonderful view from the sink out over the land, a great measure of a kitchen. A delightful snug adjoins the kitchen, with woodburner and large Norfolk pamments which compliments the more informal part of the house. An impressive formal entrance hall sets in a change in tone, with distinctive Victorian tiling, wood burner, and a substantial bay with floor to ceiling glazing flooding this area with natural light. The hall leads into a comfortable sitting room, with dual aspect, and the dining room currently used as a downstairs bedroom with a most attractive fireplace. Like many good houses, the farmhouse has both a formal entrance, and an informal daily entrance. The latter works really well into a boot room and next to the utility and a shower room, convenient for hosing down muddy dogs or children. A useful study completes the ground floor.
Continuing the pleasing blend of informal and formal areas, the house enjoys two staircases. The handsome principal staircase leads up to a bright landing, continuing the light and spacious feel throughout the house. There are four spacious double bedrooms, with all worthy of being the main bedroom, and all with lovely views over the grounds and surrounding countryside. The bedrooms are served by a family shower room.
Annexe and outbuildings
Adjoining the house is a self-contained annexe, a brilliant asset to for the property for multi-generational living, providing an income as an Airbnb, or to simply use for working from home, as a games room or perhaps a cinema. The annexe comprises an open plan kitchen/living/dining space, which glazed doors out to a private west facing courtyard, an entrance hall, shower room and double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
There is an impressive range of outbuildings. A modern steel frame barn is an exceptional multipurpose space, measuring 13.3m x 12.2m, used for storage and work shop and even a party barn, with electric roller doors and pedestrian door. A double garage, with a depth of almost 10metres, and a further single garage provides excellent storage options. Two brick built stables are conveniently situated between the house and paddocks.
Outside
Stud Farm house is approached over a tree lined drive and through panelled electric gates, set between high brick walls, where the drive continues up to the house and buildings, with parking and turning space for many vehicles. A further entrance leads to a yard behind the outbuildings.
The gardens and grounds are a wonderful feature of the Stud Farm house. The gardens naturally surround the house, with areas of lawns, herbaceous beds and shrubberies. On the south elevation, a paved terrace, with electric awning, is perfectly positioned for outside dining and entertaining and with fine views. Estate fencing provides a fitting divide between the gardens and the wider land, and maintaining the open and expansive feel.
The land beyond is mainly laid to grass, for ease of maintenance stretching away to mature hedged boundaries and creating a parkland like setting. The well maintained grazing is sectioned into a paddock by temporary fencing, essentially providing a blank canvas for use and landscaping. A wildlife pond and wildflower meadow provide points of interest, and habitats for many species that can be seen exploring the grounds, and an orchard, former vegetable garden and hen house create further lifestyle opportunities.
Location
The house is located to the north of Terrington St John, a well-served village with village shop, public house, and primary school, with a Grade I listed church, with a unique four storey priests house. There are footpaths to enjoy through surrounding countryside. The house is very well placed for access to A47.
The historic town of Kings Lynn is about 6 miles, with medieval origins and prosperous architecture throughout the ages, a range of schools, retail offerings, recreational facilities, supermarkets, business parks, cinema and a main rail service to London Kings Cross. A further rail service is from the slightly closer Watlington Station, easily accessed given its more rural location, and an award winning and well regarded public house.
The Norfolk coastline at Heacham is about 20 miles, with the coastline as a whole providing a plethora of restaurants, gastro pubs, sailing, coastal walks and excellent bird watching.
