A nine-bedroom, Grade II listed farmhouse with two self-contained annexes, heated swimming pool and grass tennis court has come up for sale near Cromer for £1.75m.
Manor Farm, in Northrepps, was originally built in the 17th century and sits on three acres of farmland including a field of solar panels, which provides most of the property’s electricity.
Selling agents Savills describe Manor Farm as “a house of style and charm, hosting comfortable and high-end interiors – with an endearing mix of landscaped gardens of yew, wisteria, alliums and buxus topiary”.
Commenting on the property, Ben Rivett of Savills said: “This house has it all and is a pleasure to be selling.”
The Grade II listed principal house has undergone a programme of sympathetic and thorough renovation – and is now a family home of almost 5,000 square feet over three floors.
The bespoke kitchen is the focal point of the house, boasting a substantial central island and Aga, and opening into a sitting area with fireplace and French doors out on to a south-west facing terrace.
A set of bi-fold doors open from the kitchen to a sheltered south-facing courtyard, ideal for outside dining and entertaining.
There is a dining room adjoining the kitchen, and a further two spacious reception rooms – both with fireplaces – can be found off the impressive entrance hall with distinctive tiling.

The ground floor also includes a utility, garden room/study and two WCs.
There are six bedrooms and two family bathrooms on the first floor of the principal house, all linked via a central landing. This includes the master bedroom with en suite bath/shower room and a further en suite bedroom.
On the floor above is an impressive attic room with vaulted ceiling, currently used as a dressing room.
The two self-contained annexes are situated at opposite ends of the house. To the south is a well-appointed single-storey annexe, with an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area, a bath/shower room and a bedroom.
A further single-level annexe, to the north of the farmhouse, is formed from part of the original house and is more traditional in layout – with a large sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The two annexes offer scope for a variety of uses, including as a holiday let to generate additional income.

Like the house, the gardens at Manor Farm have been equally well rejuvenated to frame the property and create an impressive approach.
An arched entrance between neighbouring cottages leads into the shingled parking and turning area, with an outbuilding providing a two-bay car port and workshop.
Wrought iron park fencing separates the parking area from the gardens, with a path leading to the main entrance to the house.
The immaculate front lawn is framed by steel-edged herbaceous beds of box topiary, grasses, alliums, sage and lavender, with high hedges of yew and beech on the outer boundary.
The majority of the land is to the west of the house, with large expanses of lawn sweeping away from a paved terrace to a heated swimming pool with electric cover – and beyond to a further area currently used as a grass tennis court and football pitch.
Beyond this is the field of solar PV panels and a cricket net with artificial wicket.
