Beautifully proportioned throughout, its generous rooms and high ceilings create a sense of light and spaciousness that defines this remarkable residence. Entering through the formal front door, you’re welcomed by a broad, inviting hallway with warm wooden floors, an introduction to the home’s refined yet relaxed character. To the left lies the kitchen, thoughtfully extended by the current owner in 2018 to create a superb dual-aspect space designed for both cooking and entertaining. At its heart stands a classic cream electric Aga, complemented by bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry hand-crafted by renowned joiners, Kitchens Etc. Marble worktops and a central island add elegance and practicality, while integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge. A partly glazed door leads to a well-appointed utility room and pantry, complete with fitted shelving, ample storage, and a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer. Double doors open from the kitchen into a side hall and boot room, a good everyday entrance, with access to the garden, and a cloakroom finished with cream tiling throughout. The adjoining dining room is a striking, south-facing space overlooking the parterre garden, with its tall, shuttered window, original brick fireplace fitted with a Charnwood log burner, and generous proportions. This room seats up to ten people. A back hall extends from the rear of the house, creating a sense of symmetry and flow. Off the back hall is a large study/library - equally suited as a drawing room - featuring another south-facing window with shutters, a substantial log burner, and bespoke floor-to-ceiling bookcases. From the back hall, wide pamment-tiled steps descend to an impressive, dry wine cellar - a rare and characterful feature. To the front of the house, a charming sitting room provides an inviting retreat, complete with painted fireplace, log burner, and built-in bookcases. French doors open directly onto the courtyard garden. Adjacent to the sitting room is a second study, which could easily serve as a ground-floor bedroom, conveniently positioned next to a shower room. Upstairs, the south-facing side of the house has two generous double bedrooms, each beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Large windows frame views over the parterre garden and open countryside, while fitted cupboards provide practical storage. The bedrooms also feature a fireplace, adding character to these rooms. Opposite, a well-appointed ensuite bathroom is fitted with classic white sanitaryware, including a bath with handheld shower attachment, heated towel rail, and separate shower enclosure. Cleverly designed, the layout allows the doors to be aligned, creating a private en suite for the main bedroom if desired. To the front of the house are two further double bedrooms, each with fitted cupboards and a calm, restful atmosphere. A second family bathroom was fully renovated last year and offers a contemporary feel with a spacious walk-in shower, sleek vanity unit with basin, and heated towel rail. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ OUTSIDE A gravel drive leads to Home Farm House, where ample parking lies conveniently beside the property. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of distinct “rooms,” each offering its own atmosphere and charm throughout the seasons. To the back of the house \(historically the front\), a delightful south-facing walled garden has been beautifully landscaped with box-edged borders and abundant herbaceous planting. Hydrangeas, roses, and salvias fill the beds with colour and scent, while a stone water trough adds the soothing sound of gently flowing water. The façade of the house is adorned with climbing wisteria and roses, and in this sunny corner, a fruiting apricot and a striking Paulownia tree thrive. To the left of this garden are the old stables and a large cart shed with two open storage or parking bays. The cart shed and adjacent stables retain many original features including the old wooden animal feeders and reed insulation to the roof. It is thought that some of the walls to this building date back to the 16th century. On the other side of the house and overlooking the estate a generous lawn is framed by mature trees, and a small orchard leads towards a wild flower meadow, leased from the Bayfield Estate, the meadow borders the River Glaven and overlooks the new Home Farm Wetland. Adjacent to this sits The Old Dairy. This barn provides extensive storage and some garaging. A courtyard garden to the rear of this building provides a lovely space for entertaining. A graceful pergola, hung with both black and green grapevines, offers shade and dappled light. Nearby, a Victorian style greenhouse and raised beds provide ample opportunity for growing salads, vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers - the finishing touches to this idyllic country garden. Directly opposite the house is an impressive Coach House. This is a large unconverted building offering a wealth of opportunities \(subject to planning.\) It is a two-storey building which retains many original features including the old wooden stable dividers and ladder to the hayloft. Currently it is used for storage and as a potting shed and for lockable parking. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ SITUATION Situated on the edge of the Bayfield Estate in Letheringsett, Home Farm House enjoys a beautiful setting with far-reaching views over open countryside to both the front and rear.
