A Georgian farmhouse located in Southburgh has come on the market for a guide price of £1.1m.
The farmhouse is Grade II listed and was originally built in the 17th century before the Georgian façade was added later, which was typical for many gentrified farmhouses throughout Norfolk.
The home is for sale with selling agent Savills and Ben Rivett, joint head of residential sales at Savills in Norfolk, said: “What struck me about Chase Farm House is the quality of architectural detail that elevates it above other similar houses. From the elegant fan light above the front door, large sash windows with shutters and deep lead flashings.

Chase Farm House has been subject to a thorough programme of sympathetic improvement by the current owners during their 15-year custodianship, including changes to the layout of the house to suit a modern and functional lifestyle and major roof work.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a drawing room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom.
The well-proportioned drawing room is the perfect place to relax and features an open fire, while the sitting room has a wood burner.
The kitchen/breakfast room has space for a dining table and chairs for family mealtimes, as well as high ceilings and a wood burner. A pantry provides further food storage, and the utility room adjoins it.
The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom, with WC and hand wash basin, plus there's a set of stairs down to a basement, which has potential to be transformed into a new versatile space.
Heading upstairs, the landing provides access to five bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is dual aspect, and you can enjoy the sunrises in the morning from the eastern aspect.
All the bedrooms offer views over the surrounding gardens and land. The fitted family bathroom has a bath, WC and hand wash basin.
Outside, Chase Farm House is approached by a sweeping gravelled drive that leads to a turning area in front of the house, with ample room for cars in the main parking area.
The home also has a range of outbuildings and even an annexe, which was converted in 2016.
The annexe features an open-plan kitchen/living room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, with planning consent granted that would add an extension featuring an en suite, living/study area and principal bedroom.

Other outbuildings include a garage and workshop, stable and wood store, and a contemporary office/studio that would be perfect as a work from home space.
Formal gardens are to the south of the house, with a large, paved patio that is useful for outside entertaining.
An orchard is enclosed by low flint walls, picket fencing and hedging, and there is a decked area with pergola, which enjoys the evening sun.
Beyond the outbuildings is an area of lawn and a kitchen garden with greenhouse.
The front of the home overlooks a meadow, and the property is bordered by woodlands with walkways.
Chase Farm House is in Southburgh, a rural village three miles from the town of Hingham, where you will find a variety of independent shops, supermarket, doctors surgery and schooling.
Attleborough is five miles away and has good transport links to Cambridge, and then onto London Kings Cross.
