Church Farm, Bungay Road, Thwaite

The property comprises a traditional farmhouse together with converted annexe, farm buildings, arable farmland and grassland, in all 46.80ha (115.64 acres). The farmhouse faces St Mary`s Church with the original farm buildings being immediately to the rear with the farmland beyond. Church Farm is an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a farmhouse and range of buildings in original condition, the house will require complete modernisation and refurbishment.

The house is surrounded by established beds and borders with grass gardens beyond largely to the south east. There are some mature fruit trees within the grassland, there is a small swimming pool with pool house to the south west of the house. There is a gravel drive to the front of the house and a parking area to the north of the house adjacent to the annexe.

Annexe - The former garage has been converted to provide additional accommodation with planning permission granted by South Norfolk District Council reference 2011/1642/F. It is believed that an additional part of the adjoining building has been converted to residential accommodation albeit we are not aware of planning permission having been granted for this additional conversion.
