Elm Tree Farm is an elegant period farmhouse which has been transformed into a stunning country home with stylish interiors and grounds of approximately four acres – and it’s now on the market with no onward chain for £1,990,000.
Described by selling agent Sowerbys as an “archetypal Norfolk farmhouse”, the four-bed property in Ashwicken, near King’s Lynn, dates back to the 1800s.

In a project lasting four years, it has undergone a complete transformation and restoration journey, with the current owners paying “great attention to detail to ensure the integrity and character of a now stylish and functional family home is completely reinstated”.
Approached down a bridleway off the main road in this tranquil, rural location, Elm Tree Farm’s carrstone and flint façade stands out on the horizon, with its well-maintained wraparound grounds creating a luxurious exterior to match its impressive interior.
All the floors throughout the property have been re-levelled to eliminate the often impractical uneven flooring found in period homes, and underfloor heating has been installed on the ground floor. The farmhouse also benefits from solar panels with a feed-in tariff.
Entering through the front porch, you are immediately welcomed into the striking, open-plan kitchen/family room with modern fittings, a range of integrated appliances and views over the open fields surrounding the house.
Sowerbys says: “This bright and spacious heart of the home boasts an unparalleled finish throughout – a wonderful room for everyone to gather together.”
An adjoining larder and utility offer plenty of space to make day-to-day chores and storage simple, while the rear sitting area features double doors into the garden.
A separate reception room boasts a charming inglenook fireplace and bay window doors to the outside, creating a more secluded space for cosy evenings in front of the fire.
There is also a well-appointed study to the front, a snug with doors to the outside and a shower room next to a secondary staircase.
Upstairs, the spacious landing provides access to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Both the principal and guest bedroom include attractive features such as full glass walls and en suites, and all of the rooms enjoy “splendid” views over the countryside.
Elm Tree Farm also has a separate ancillary building which Sowerbys says would be an ideal space for an Airbnb or multi-generational living. This was actually the first building on the lot to be converted and was occupied whilst the main house was being renovated.
It features an open-plan kitchen/dining room, a sitting area and several rooms on the first floor which would suit a range of uses. In addition, the current owners have created a self-contained gym, shower room and sauna completely separate from the house – perfect for health-conscious owners.
Outside, Elm Tree Farm offers ample parking and garaging. The grounds in total extend to almost four acres (subject to measured survey), but there is an opportunity to acquire an additional 131 acres, 103 of which are common land, by separate negotiation.

To the rear of the property, a walled patio area with steps down to the lawn is well-suited to al fresco dining, and there are multiple spacious green areas, including a football pitch.
Ashwicken is a quiet village with a 14th century church and a primary school. The beautiful Sandringham Estate is just 15 minutes away by car, and the market town of King’s Lynn is 20 minutes away.
