A Grade II listed farmhouse with six reception rooms and a separate barn has come up for sale in Hethel, near Wymondham, for £800,000.

Corporation Farmhouse dates back to the late 17th century and is described by selling agents William H Brown Select as being "beautifully presented", with five good-sized bedrooms and extensive gardens.

Later additions were made to the property in the 18th and 19th centuries, including roof changes and a gault brick facade, and according to Historic England it achieved listed building status in 1951.

Inside, the ground floor features a wonderful sitting room which has glazed double doors opening into the conservatory and a fireplace with a slate hearth and wood-burning stove.

There is also a formal dining room, breakfast room and kitchen, which the owners have re-fitted with stylish base and wall units, wooden worktops and a Butler sink with swan neck tap. It also has a central island with breakfast bar, space for an American-style fridge/freezer and a brick fireplace which houses another wood-burning stove.

Elsewhere, the ground floor has an office which doubles as a TV/cinema room, as well as a utility room and games room complete with shower. This could therefore offer potential as an annexe or ground-floor bedroom.
