in detail

Having been in the same family since the 1960's, Wood Farm dates back to 1632 and represents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner. This style and location of property together are rarely available. The grade II listed farmhouse proudly stands on a plot of approximately 1.7 acres (STMS) and offers a rural lifestyle, while being only a mile away from the centre of the thriving market town of Swaffham, with all its modern conveniences. The sprawling accommodation is spread over two floors with the possibility of further accommodation in the huge attic space. Which, if converted would add a third floor. In addition to the four double bedrooms, this versatile property boasts generously proportioned reception rooms with bright, airy interiors and cosy open fireplaces. Externally the home boasts approximately 1300 square feet of outbuildings which are currently used for a mixture of storage and kennels. Part of the outbuildings have a lapsed planning permission for conversion into an annexe.
