Wonderful Detached Bungalow with Equestrian Facilities and 4.5 Acres in Wicklewood

Follyfoot Farm is a substantial four-bedroom detached bungalow set within approximately 4.5 acres (STMS) in the Norfolk village of Wicklewood, offering an unusually versatile combination of family accommodation, land and established equestrian facilities.

The property is particularly well suited to buyers looking for space to keep horses or other animals, pursue equestrian interests, or simply enjoy a larger rural holding without being isolated from everyday amenities. The extensive grounds include four individual paddocks, while the equestrian facilities comprise a 40m x 20m Manège and indoor arena, three stables and a substantial covered barn area, providing excellent scope for private use, storage and a range of countryside pursuits.

The detached bungalow provides spacious single-storey accommodation with four double bedrooms, making it practical for family living, guests or those requiring flexible home-working and hobby space. The accommodation is centred around generous living and kitchen/dining areas, with the layout offering plenty of opportunity for the new owners to adapt the property to their own requirements. There is also potential to extend the accommodation further, subject to the necessary planning consent (STPP).

Outside, the scale of the holding is a key attraction. The combination of paddocks, indoor arena, stabling and covered working/storage space creates a property that can accommodate both residential and equestrian requirements, while the surrounding land provides a degree of privacy and space that is increasingly difficult to find within easy reach of a town.

The property also benefits from double and single garage provision, giving useful secure parking and additional storage for vehicles, equipment and rural essentials.
