A Grade II listed farmhouse with development potential is for sale in Morley St Botolph, near Wymondham, at an asking price of £875,000.
Available with no onward chain, Willow Farm offers “a wonderfully rare opportunity to live in a delightful property with history and character”, said selling agent TW Gaze.
The home sits in approximately 3.6 acres of grounds, including landscaped gardens, multiple outbuildings and fenced paddocks ideal for equestrian use.
Since moving into Willow Farm in August 1990, the current owners have carried out “a progressive, carefully planned programme of improvements”. This includes upgrading the electric systems and replacing all exterior doors, while the farmhouse and cart shed were recently re-roofed by a heritage roofing specialist.
Inside, the property offers versatile accommodation and a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and wood burners.
Entering the property, there are two sitting rooms either side of a small entrance hall, one of which opens to a garden room with adjoining wet room.

The other sitting room leads through to a dining room, and then into a classic farmhouse kitchen featuring a pamment tiled floor, AGA, solid timber worktops and butler sink.
The kitchen is complemented by a fitted-out utility room, ideal for use as a boot room.
Adjoining the utility is a ground-flower shower room with WC, twin wash basins and shower cubicle.
Beyond the garden room is a large home office, which is a conversion of the former dairy barns and originally designed to accommodate a self-contained annexe. It opens out to a paved terrace area abutting the driveway.
Upstairs there is a long landing that opens to four characterful bedrooms with the opportunity for further development.
One bedroom has an en-suite WC, and all are served by a family bathroom with roll-top bathtub, WC and wash basin.
Original winding staircases lead up to the first floor and onwards to the generous attic space above.
Outside, the expansive grounds include a formal landscaped garden to the side and rear, as well as a charming orchard area with five-bar gate leading to an outbuilding with views over the rewilding garden.
A further two paddocks are fenced and come with stabling and water for horses.

The land has been well maintained and offers grassland and wildflowers with several ponds offering a haven for wildlife.
Willow Farm is approached by a gravelled driveway offering ample parking. There is also a convenient three-bay cart lodge for undercover parking and storage.
Located in the rural village of Morley St Botolph, the property enjoys a countryside setting while being just three miles from the market town of Wymondham – known for its abbey, farmers market and independent shops and pubs.
The town also offers several restaurants, supermarkets and schools, plus rail connections to Norwich, Cambridge and London.
Further amenities can be found in Attleborough, which is four miles away.
