5 bed detached house for sale

Main Road, Acle, Norwich, Norfolk NR13

Farmhouse in about 2.8 acres with no immediate neighbours

Description
Marsh Farm is a detached farmhouse set within approximately 2.8 acres of grounds, enjoying a secluded position with no immediate neighbours and an exceptional degree of privacy. Offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain, the property extends to over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and includes a range of substantial outbuildings. It presents a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable family home with potential for multi-generational living, alongside scope to operate a business from home, subject to any necessary consents.

The property has been partially renovated by the current owners and would benefit from some further refurbishment and finishing works, providing an excellent opportunity for purchasers to place their own stamp on the accommodation.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to a beautifully renovated open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, featuring a dual-aspect design, central island unit, integrated appliances and stylish recessed lighting. The dual-aspect sitting room enjoys direct access to the decking area and gardens beyond. Further accommodation within the eastern wing includes a cloakroom, utility room and boot room, providing excellent practicality for everyday family life.

The ground floor also incorporates a self-contained annexe, which offers up to two double bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home gym. The annexe further benefits from a kitchen, separate boot room, conservatory and a four-piece bathroom suite, making it ideal for extended family, guests or independent living arrangements.

On the first floor of the main house are three bedrooms, one of which is currently arranged as a dressing room with an extensive range of fitted furniture. The remaining bedrooms are both generous doubles and are served by a well-proportioned family bathroom. A thoughtfully positioned first-floor utility room provides additional convenience.

Outside
The property is approached via a long private driveway leading to an extensive parking area and a triple garage. Set within grounds of approximately 2.8 acres, Marsh Farm offers exceptional privacy and a wonderful sense of space.
The grounds are complemented by a selection of useful outbuildings, which may suit a variety of purposes, subject to any necessary permissions. Of particular note is the impressive steel barn, measuring approximately 48 ft 5 in by 28 ft 3 in, which provides excellent workshop space or could serve as secure storage for classic or collector vehicles. A number of smaller outbuildings and a large greenhouse further enhance the property's practicality and appeal for those seeking a lifestyle property.

Ideal for outdoor entertaining, a substantial decking area extends from the principal living space and enjoys attractive views across the grounds. Backing onto open countryside, the property benefits from a wonderful sense of openness and rural tranquillity, while avoiding the maintenance responsibilities associated with additional land beyond the boundary.

Location
The property is situated on the edge of the popular village of Acle, which offers a comprehensive range of amenities and facilities comparable to those of a small market town. Many attractive period properties overlook the village green, adding to its character and appeal. Local amenities include a variety of independent shops, a butcher, hardware store, convenience stores and supermarkets, a doctor's surgery, veterinary practice and well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Ideally positioned close to the heart of the Norfolk Broads, access to the renowned waterways can be gained from Acle Bridge and the nearby River Bure, providing excellent opportunities for boating and waterside recreation. Norwich, the cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, lies approximately 14 miles to the west, whilst the coastal resort of Great Yarmouth is around 10 miles to the east.
