The Manor House Burnham Road, South Creake, Fakenham, Norfolk NR21 9JG

Detailed Description

Lot 1 of Manor Farm, South Creake (3.36 acres)

The Manor House is a grade II listed farmhouse understood to date from the 17th Century with later 18th century and 20th century detailing. The varied construction forms and periods of the building give it a great sense of history and character. The house also benefits from oil fired central heating and a recently modernised kitchen.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with additional attic space on the 2nd floor. There are three main reception rooms, a farmhouse style kitchen, utility area and office on the ground floor, and seven bedrooms with three bathrooms on the first floor.

The property is approached off the Burnham Market road and can either be accessed via the main driveway adjacent the house, or from a secondary driveway through the neighbouring barn conversion complex. Parking is typically on a grass area to the rear of the house and adjacent to the garden outbuilding.

The gardens, which extend to around half a hectare are a particular feature of The Manor House. The main lawn and bed areas are to the east and south of the house and they are enclosed by walls and trees, offering great privacy. There is the old vegetable garden, now lawn, a small gravel and paved sitting area and lawns running down to the River Burn. Alongside the river are beds planted with ferns, poppies, Lily of the valley, wild roses, delphiniums and aquilegia, to name but a few.

There is a traditional brick and pantile building divided into 5 different stores that are ideal for garden equipment, furniture and log storage. On the end of the house is an outside wc with butlers sink and a small garden workshop.

The property includes a paddock extending to 0.52 hectares (1.28 acres) which is currently home to the farm's flock of geese. The paddock is a mix of meadow grass, mature trees and wet scrapes for wildfowl.

As a whole the property extends to 3.36 acres.
