Grade II Listed Farmhouse Brimming with Character in Silfield

Steeped in history yet wonderfully suited to modern family life, Coll’s Farmhouse is an impressive Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date from the early 18th century, with later additions reflecting its evolution through the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, original features including exposed timber beams and open fireplaces sit comfortably alongside thoughtfully updated accommodation, creating a home that feels both characterful and practical.

At the heart of the house is the generous open-plan kitchen, breakfast and dining space, where garden views and bi-fold doors create a natural connection with the outdoors. The adjoining sitting room is a wonderfully peaceful south-facing retreat, again enjoying views across the gardens and centred around its own fireplace. A study, office and cloakroom complete the principal ground floor accommodation.

The sleeping accommodation is equally versatile. Four bedrooms occupy the first floor alongside a large family bathroom, with scope, subject to the necessary consents, to reconfigure the layout and create an en-suite. A secondary staircase leads to the upper floor, where a particularly spacious bedroom benefits from an en-suite and walk-in dressing area.

More recently, the stable block has been thoughtfully converted into an annexe and connected to the house via modern extension, creating a particularly flexible family arrangement. A spacious bedroom with en-suite has been incorporated, along with a playroom/nursery and a large games room that opens directly onto the patio – an ideal setting for children, entertaining and relaxed summer evenings.

SILFIELD
A small Norfolk hamlet, Silfield is approximately 1.5 miles from bustling Wymondham. Set amidst the gentle rolling countryside of South Norfolk, Wymondham is a picturesque and historic market town with a strong sense of community and a reputation as one of the county’s most desirable places to live. At its heart lies the magnificent Wymondham Abbey, an iconic 12th century landmark with beautiful surroundings and a rich ecclesiastical history that gives the town much of its charm.

Wymondham’s vibrant town centre is home to an array of independent boutiques, traditional pubs, and cafés, with the popular Kett’s Books and The Lemon Tree Café offering local flavour and friendly service. The town hosts a bustling weekly market and enjoys regular events including the Wymondham Music Festival and various heritage days celebrating the area’s fascinating past.

For families and outdoor enthusiasts, there are lovely green spaces and walks along the Tiffey Valley, while nearby attractions include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, offering heritage steam train journeys through the countryside to Dereham, and Wymondham Heritage Museum, located in the town’s historic Bridewell building.

Commuters are well served by Wymondham railway station, with direct connections to Norwich, Cambridge, and London. The A11 is also easily accessible, making road travel across the region convenient.

With highly regarded schools such as Wymondham College and Wymondham High Academy, along with the proximity to the cultural and retail offerings of Norwich – just 9 miles away – Wymondham offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern living.

Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres, offering a lovely balance of useful space and enjoyment. Mature trees, established gardens and generous areas of lawn provide plenty of room for children to play, outdoor dining and quieter moments away from the bustle of family life. A gated gravel driveway provides ample parking and access to the substantial outbuildings, including garages, storage and a large barn, while a further access point from Old Silfield Road adds practicality.

It is this combination of period character, generous proportions, superb flexibility and exceptionally useful outbuildings, together with a garden designed for both everyday life and making memories, that makes Coll’s Farmhouse such a special family home.
