The property is on the market with Fine & Country for £975,000 and is located in the sought-after village of South Creake, near Fakenham, just a stone’s throw from the north Norfolk coast.
The house itself was built in the late 1800s and was formerly a set of farm cottages. Today, it has been converted into one outstanding spacious property in a plot of one third of an acre (subject to measured survey) approached by a bridged entrance over its own stream.
With views over the River Burn and a stunning walled garden with a koi pond to the rear, as well as several outbuildings, Maple House is a great opportunity for someone looking for a country retreat.
Accommodation totals around 3418sq ft, and the kitchen/family room is the focal point of the house, with its spacious, open-plan design and farmhouse style. The bespoke, hand-built units and Aga with rustic wood beam above create a really unique feel, and double doors to the garden let in plenty of natural light.
There are two other reception rooms to enjoy on the ground floor, including a 24ft lounge and an impressive conservatory which invites the outside in, all arranged around the large entrance hall with its own lift to the upper floor.
Completing the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and WC.
The property’s five bedrooms are all located off the first-floor landing. One of the largest rooms has its own en suite and a side area which could be used as a dressing area.
The rest of the bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms, and there is a useful office which could even be converted into a small sixth bedroom.
To the front, Maple House has parking for several vehicles, as well as an attached double garage with an adjoining workshop that may be suited to other uses subject to the relevant permissions.
The rear garden is a truly stunning space. It is mainly laid to lawn with a terrace area to the back of the house and a koi fishpond to the rear boundary, all enclosed by a brick and flint wall.
Maple House is nestled in a peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of the north Norfolk coast whilst still being within easy reach of everything it has to offer.
In just over 10 minutes you can be shopping the boutique stores of Wells’ high street, or in 30 minutes you could be searching for fossils in Hunstanton. The market town of Fakenham is just over five miles away.
