Feltwell

Tucked away on the northern edge of the charming village of Feltwell, Hill Farm House is a property that instantly captures the heart. A masterclass in sympathetic restoration, this magnificent family home weaves its historic past into modern living, offering a rare blend of character, comfort, and charm.

Believed to date back over 400 years and once two separate dwellings—including a former Methodist Minister’s residence—Hill Farm House now stands as a substantial, unified home. Its origins are proudly showcased through original oak beams, flint and chalk walls, and a variety of fireplaces—from grand inglenook hearths to intricate Victorian surrounds—all seamlessly paired with stylish, modern enhancements.

From the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, with its intricate tiled floor and elegant staircase, you’re met with a warm sense of history and hospitality. Lovingly updated by its current owners since 2006, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced in both form and function.

A trio of beautiful reception rooms offers flexibility for every season and occasion. Whether hosting in the formal dining room or enjoying a peaceful retreat by the fire in the snug, every space feels considered. The showstopper, however, is the breathtaking garden room—with vaulted oak beams and doors opening onto the rear terrace, it’s filled with natural light and invites you to linger.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen-breakfast room—a nod to the property’s farmhouse roots—with plenty of room to gather, cook, and connect. It retains its rustic charm while delivering the open-plan flow ideal for contemporary life.

A basement, accessed via the snug and currently used as a wine cellar, adds a further layer of character and practicality to this exceptional home.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms each have their own story to tell. All are generous, bright, and brimming with character, while two beautifully appointed family bathrooms—each with a separate bath and shower—serve the household with both style and ease.

Beyond the main house, a detached annexe offers its own private sanctuary, complete with a shower room—ideal for multigenerational living, a creative studio, or guest accommodation. There is also a double cart lodge and a single garage for practical convenience.

Outside, the grounds wrap gently around the home, with a south-facing garden that captures the sun all day long. Meandering lawns, private terraces, and mature planting offer an idyllic setting for both relaxed mornings and lively summer gatherings. The rear garden also benefits from a pop-up irrigation system, keeping the landscape lush and vibrant with ease. At the front, a carriage driveway framed by electric gates provides a most impressive and secure welcome.

Situated just a few miles from Brandon station, Hill Farm House offers the best of both worlds—peaceful village life with excellent transport connections. A stroll around Feltwell reveals a wealth of local history and countryside walks, while nearby attractions such as Lynford Arboretum offer the perfect escape for family outings or dog walks.

This is more than just a house. It is a story: rich, characterful, and lovingly written. A true forever home.
