Whimpwell Green, Happisburgh, Norwich, Norfolk, NR12

This stunning Grade II listed 17th Century farmhouse offers a wealth of character and is set within a plot of around 1.7 acres, with the paddock making up around an acre of this.

The property offers buyers a profitable holiday let business which encompasses both a one-bedroom annex which is regularly let out to holiday makers, along the adjoining paddock which has permitted use for five pitches for caravans and motorhomes.

Holly Farm’s traditional entrance leads you into a lobby with two sizeable reception rooms set to either side. The family room is a lovely relaxing space with views over the garden.

The principal sitting room is a large and bright room perfect for entertaining, and it still retains a range set into the large fireplace to one end of the room. The kitchen adjoins the sitting room and is a modern affair with a contemporary styled range of units which compliment the historic nature of the property. A door leads to a generously sized dining room which also offers a view out over the garden. There are two utility areas leading off from the kitchen along with a ground floor bathroom.

The first-floor landing is charming with stairs leading up to the rooms set on either side. The main bedroom is well-proportioned and is set next to the large bathroom which offers both a shower and bath. The two other bedrooms are also generous with bedroom three offering an area which sits over the lobby and also has the exposed bricks of the chimney stack making a feature to the room.

There is a lovely barn accessible from the main house with two sets of double doors leading to the front courtyard. A further storage area is set to the rear with doors into the garden. This area offers potential for conversion into either further accommodation for the main house, or perhaps for a further holiday home (S.T.P).

The annex is set to the far end and offers an open plan reception area with twin doors looking out over its own designated garden. The annex main room is light and appealing with a Velux window adding extra light, to one wall is a range of kitchen units offering a built-in hob, oven, and a breakfast bar. The bedroom has a stable door and an arched window adding charm. The annex is served by a shower room which is finished with a quality suite with contrasting tiling.

Outside, the property is approached over a shingle driveway which splits to offer an area of parking to the annex. The courtyard is wall-enclosed with a stable block offering three bays along with an orangery which again offers potential for other uses. To the rear, the grounds wrap around the property which are predominately laid to lawn with a large selection of mature shrubs, ornamental grasses, and fruit trees. A five-bar gate opens into the paddock which hosts the five pitches for caravans and motorhomes with the necessary power points. In one corner is a copse of trees making it a green and leafy space. A separate access gate leads on to the road for direct access tp the site. The property is well-presented throughout, finished in neutral and warm shades. Both the main house and annex have their own independent heating systems and the annex is on a separate electric meter.

Offering flexible accommodation along with further potential for development of the barn, this is a property that needs to be visited in person to be appreciated.

NB There is an uplift of 50% for 8 years for any development of the paddock.
