DESCRIPTION

Town Farm in Thornage is believed to date from the 17th Century with later Georgian additions, particularly the sash windows. Today, it offers the kind of lifestyle many families look for but rarely find - a substantial period home with space to grow, very easy access to Holt and Greshams schools, and grounds designed for maximum family enjoyment. Set well back from the road behind the converted former barns that are now three cottages, the house enjoys a strong sense of privacy and calm while remaining exceptionally convenient for school runs, sports fixtures, and everyday North Norfolk living.

This fine Grade II listed house combines character and flexibility, with generous reception rooms suited to both family living and entertaining. Original beams, inglenook fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and traditional detailing sit comfortably alongside practical modern living. The kitchen breakfast room, complete with oil-fired Aga, opens onto a small conservatory and the walled garden and offers further potential for extension for open-plan family space if desired subject to necessary planning permissions.

Across the two upper floors are six well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal bedroom is beautifully positioned with far-reaching views over the gardens and paddocks towards the Glaven Valley. The sixth bedroom is currently used a useful dressing room, and the house offers three bathrooms and plenty of storage and flexible accommodation for larger families or guests.

Three converted cottages provide valuable additional space, whether for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, home working, or holiday letting income.
__________

OUTSIDE

Outside, the grounds extend to around 3.7 acres with a magnificent large walled garden, established herbaceous borders, terraces for outdoor dining, a nicely presented hard tennis court, paddock, and fine established trees including horse chestnuts and a magnificent walnut tree.
Solar panels in the paddock and battery storage contribute significantly to the running of the property and cottages.

This is a house designed as much for day-to-day family life as for weekends and holidays — somewhere children can roam freely, play tennis, build dens, kick a football or even keep a pony (or two!), all within very easy reach of the coast and one of Norfolk’s most regarded schools.

SITUATION

Thornage is situated just southwest of the picturesque town of Holt and roughly six miles from the coastal villages of Blakeney and Cley next the Sea. Surrounding the village are water meadows and areas of woodland and a maze of intriguing quiet lanes waiting to be discovered. The neighbouring village of Letheringsett offers a good local pub along with Jarrolds Farm shop a popular eatery, butchers, and delicatessen.

The nearby Georgian market town of Holt is renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops. As well as Bakers and Larners (a privately owned department store), there are boutiques, cafes and bars, doctors’ surgery, dentist, padel courts and a supermarket. Holt is also home to Gresham’s pre-prep, prep and senior schools, founded in 1555. Beeston Hall is also only a short distance away and this is another very popular preparatory school.

Access to the coast is only six miles to the north at the old ports of Cley and, a little further along, Blakeney. These are Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) with one of the best bird reserves in Europe and a wide variety of other leisure pursuits available such as sailing, seal watching, golf and walking along the Norfolk Coast path. There are saltmarshes, long sandy beaches at low tides, creeks, and the quintessential north Norfolk wide, open skies.

The cathedral city of Norwich is about twenty-five miles away and offer a full range of cultural amenities. It also offers an international airport and mainline trains to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge
