For Sale5 Bedroom House in Stiffkey Road, Binham, Norfolk, NR21 0DJ£1,450,000

An imposing home, with a wonderful setting in about 2.86 acres, and fine views of Binham Priory. On the edge of a village that goes from strength to strength, and is often asked for by buyers, Ford House is a wonderfully positioned home. South facing, elevated and with superb views to Binham's Benedictine Priory, the house enjoys an entirely peaceful and private existence, amongst its own 3 acres surrounded by countryside. Built in the latter part of the 19th century, Ford House stands tall, with accommodation over four floors. Highlights include the drawing room and dining room, with large Victorian sash windows allowing in plenty of light, fireplaces, and tall ceilings. A functional kitchen leads on to a breakfast/garden room, running the width of the house with lovely views of the gardens, which are directly accessed through French doors. An extremely practical lower ground floor includes a utility room, cellar, and plenty of storage. The bedrooms are over the first and second floors. The two bedrooms on the first floor could both qualify as the principal room, both with adjoining bathrooms albeit one is more spacious than the other and may be the clincher for which room is used as the main bedroom. The stairs continue up to the second floor where there are three further bedrooms, served by a bathroom. All bedrooms are double rooms, with features including fireplaces, tall ceilings and all with charming views of the countryside and gardens. Outside The house has a wonderful approach, from the south sweeping up a gravel drive, lined with fine beech trees, to an expansive gravelled parking and turning area at the back of the house with room for plenty of cars and boats. The gardens are predominantly to the south and east of the house. Herbaceous beds, mixed shrubs and rose bed are to the east, with swathes of lawns that then open out and away from the house, to the south. To the rear of the house are raised terraced and well stocked beds, with steps down to a courtyard between the house and outbuildings. These comprise a set of dog kennels of traditional brick construction and pantile roof, which continues to a studio/office building which has the look of a cottage, and which is a great asset to the house. To the north-east of the house is a timber stable block, with loose boxes and feed room, with an archway through to the gravel parking. A large paddock, with stock proof fencing, runs from north to south beside the gardens, and is ideal for animal grazing , playing children or to landscape as wild flower meadow. An orchard is within a further fenced area. On the other side of the country lane is a further fenced paddock of about half an acre, with the land in total amounting to three acres.
