For Sale5 Bedroom House in Black Carr, Besthorpe, Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17£875,000

Tucked away amidst the rolling fields and big skies of the English countryside, this enchanting five-bedroom country home offers an exceptional blend of historic charm and modern-day comfort. Believed to date back to the 16th century, the property is a beautifully preserved slice of rural history that has been lovingly and sympathetically restored over the last 25 years by its current owners. From the moment you arrive, the character of this home is unmistakable. The warm tones of the clay-tiled roof, traditional sash windows, and hand-crafted wooden beams are matched inside by exposed brickwork, timber framing, and period details at every turn. Yet, despite its age, the home flows beautifully for modern living. At the heart of the house is an expansive open-plan reception space, spanning over 32 feet in width. Comprising of a cosy living room with a brick inglenook fireplace, a formal dining area, and an inviting study nook, this space is perfect for hosting everything from intimate gatherings to larger social events. The kitchen is a true country classic — warm, spacious, and filled with charm. The heritage shaker style kitchen features wooden worktops, and an range cooker which takes centre stage, with a large farmhouse table providing a place for friends and family to gather. The garden room and sitting room both open out onto the home's crowning glory — over half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. Lovingly maintained and rich in colour and texture, the gardens offer secluded seating areas, blooming borders, and uninterrupted views across open fields. Whether you're sipping morning coffee as the sun rises or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, this truly is a countryside haven. Upstairs, the first floor plays host to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all accessible via the landing. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a pristine and classically styled family bathroom. A second staircase on the landing leads to the fifth bedroom on the upper floor — a peaceful and private space ideal for older children, guests, or anyone seeking a dedicated home office. Outside, the sense of space and serenity continues. A gravel drive winds through mature trees and hedgerows, arriving at the main house and the detached barn. Currently used as garage and storage space, the barn holds enormous potential. Whether you're dreaming of a self-contained annexe, a boutique holiday let, or a creative studio, the opportunities are endless. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a home that effortlessly combines the romance of history with all the essentials of modern country living.
