A 17th century farmhouse set in around 1.7 acres of land is for sale in Happisburgh for offers in excess of £950,000.
Holly Farm is Grade II listed and offers buyers a profitable holiday let business as well as a characterful family home, all located just a 15-minute walk from the beach.
The property includes a one-bedroom annexe in a converted stable block and an adjoining paddock which has permitted use for five pitches for caravans and motorhomes. According to selling agent Winkworth, the vendors generated £25,000 from the most recent year of business.
The farmhouse itself is beautifully presented and accessed through a traditional entrance hall and lobby which has two sizeable reception rooms either side.
The family room is particularly lovely, enjoying views over the gardens, and the sitting room is large and bright with a range set into a large fireplace at one end of the room.
Considering the age of the property, a surprisingly modern kitchen adjoins the sitting room before leading into a good-sized dining room, which enjoys garden views.

Two utility areas lead off from the kitchen, and a family bathroom completes the ground floor.
The first floor is accessed by a staircase leading to a central landing, while the main bedroom is particularly well-proportioned.
The large family bathroom offers both a shower and a bath and serves each of the bedrooms, all tastefully decorated in neutral colours.
The third bedroom sits over the lobby and features the exposed bricks of the chimney stack, which act as an interesting focal point.
The main house is linked to the self-contained annexe by a good-sized barn, which also features two sets of double doors leading to the front courtyard.
As a space, the barn offers so much potential; it could be converted into accommodation for the main house or used as another holiday home, subject to planning, as well as potential event or studio space. It also has a further storage area at the rear offering garden access.
The annexe itself is set to the far end of the property, in what was the property’s former stables, and has its own designated garden.
The accommodation has been beautifully finished and includes an open-plan reception area with a kitchen and breakfast bar, characterful double bedroom, complete with a stable door, and a good-sized shower room.

Outside, Holly Farm is approached over a shingle driveway which splits into two and provides a separate parking area to the annexe.
Several outbuildings are also included in the sale, including a three-bay stable block and orangery, which could be adapted to suit a range of uses, subject to planning, and may even provide additional income.
The rest of the grounds are mainly located at the rear of the property and are predominantly laid to lawn with a large selection of mature shrubs, ornamental grasses and fruit trees.
The paddock is also accessed off the rear and hosts five pitches for caravans and motorhomes, with all necessary power points, and there is also an area of copse and separate road access.
