Description

This characterful farmhouse, part of the renowned Holkham Estate in West Norfolk, blends Georgian architecture with Victorian enhancements. Set amidst tranquil park-like surroundings, Lodge Farm presents a unique investment opportunity for those looking to restore its charm and character. With over 8,700 square feet of living space, including six reception rooms, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a two-bedroom annexe, this unlisted property opens the door to creative renovations without the restrictions of listed building consent. The exterior features striking warm-toned brickwork and well-proportioned sash windows that capture expansive views over the countryside and landscaped grounds. A thoughtful restoration could reinstate the original sweeping drive and enhance the southern façade's elegance. Internally, period fireplaces and historic features await revitalization throughout the home. Accompanying this residence are single-storey outbuildings suited for various uses—be it garaging or stabling—pending necessary permissions. The surrounding 3.89 acres encompass established gardens with a pond and mature woodlands showcasing impressive tree specimens. Additional land is available by negotiation, enhancing this investment further. Situated in a secluded location near Castle Acre—a village steeped in history—and close to amenities in Swaffham and Fakenham as well as the scenic North Norfolk coast, Lodge Farm is ideally positioned for both restoration enthusiasts and those seeking a serene retreat.
