Upper Street, Horning, Norwich, Norfolk, NR12 Property for sale

Church Farm is a most attractive former farmhouse offering beautifully presented and highly characterful accommodation, complemented by a versatile one-bedroom barn annexe and a substantial barn workshop. Set within grounds of just under one acre, the property enjoys a delightful rural position on the edge of the picturesque riverside village of Horning in the heart of the Broads National Park.

Originally a pair of cottages dating from the 1800s and forming part of the historic Church estate, the property was later combined to create a single residence. The current owners purchased Church Farm some forty years ago and have since undertaken a thoughtful programme of renovation, improvement and extension, carefully preserving the property’s rich character and period charm.

The house retains a wealth of original features including impressive red brick inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and an oil-fired Aga cooking range, all contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The immaculately presented accommodation comprises a reception hall, sitting room with exposed beams, red brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, study, bright and sunny garden room, and a dining room with striking inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room centres around the Aga and is complemented by a utility room with WC. On the first floor the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, alongside three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

A particular feature of the property is the detached barn annexe, which offers excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, extended family living or potential holiday letting. It comprises a living room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and mezzanine level, together with a kitchen and bathroom.

Further enhancing the property’s appeal is a substantial 43 ft x 23 ft barn garage/workshop, equipped with an extensive bank of photovoltaic panels and an EV charging point.

Church Farm occupies attractive grounds of just under one acre, offering a peaceful and private rural setting. The charming Broadland village of Horning is within easy reach and provides a range of local amenities including village shops, a post office, pubs, restaurants and cafés, a primary school and sailing club. The River Bure winds through the village, offering wonderful opportunities for sailing, fishing and enjoying the unique wildlife of the Broads.
