A rare opportunity to acquire a fine late 16th century
farmhouse complimented by an extensive range of converted
barns and outbuildings on the edge of this highly sought after
village which is set amongst arguably some of North Norfolk’s
prettiest countryside.
Warners End Farm is the perfect example of a period home with
extensive outbuildings set within well-tended and landscaped
grounds of around 1 acre, subject to survey, all set amongst some
of the most celebrated Norfolk countryside the county has to offer.
The property, and its adjoining barns and outbuildings, have been
extensively refurbished by the current owners in recent years
retaining many of the original features and paying meticulous
attention to detail. Situated at the end of a quiet country lane and
surrounded by idyllic farm and woodland, Warners End Farm
enjoys the wide, open, uninterrupted views that North Norfolk is
so famed for from both the house and many of the adjoining barns
and outbuildings.

THE PROPERTY
The traditional brick and flint farmhouse under a
pantile roof is approached via a pretty covered
entrance porch. The solid oak front door leads to
an entrance hall with a traditional pamment floor
and exposed beams. The large double aspect sitting
room has a heavily beamed ceiling and a mellow red
brick fireplace with pamment hearth housing a
multi-fuel stove. A rear hall leads to a cloakroom,
recently refurbished with Italian marble, and a study
with traditional pamment flooring and fitted office
furniture. The hallway also leads to a well-
proportioned, double aspect dining room with a
mellow red brick fireplace with a wooden bressumer
beam and pamment hearth housing a wood burner.
A further inner hall leads to the kitchen/breakfast
room which has a double aspect, traditional pamment
flooring and a timbered and vaulted ceiling.
This room is extensively fitted out with a range of
handmade wooden units and a fireplace housing an
electric Aga and Aga companion. Double doors
lead to the gardens. Complementing the kitchen is
a utility room and a walk-in pantry. On the first
floor, a split level landing leads to a triple aspect
master bedroom with an attractive period fireplace
and an en-suite shower room. There are also three
further bedrooms and a bathroom.
CURTILAGE
The property has two entrances. To the front of
the house is a gravelled parking area. A second
entrance through automatic gates leads to a large
gravelled parking area and to the garage block
and apartment, cottage and studio. A gate leads
to the swimming pool complex. Childproof and
fully enclosed, the pool area is both private and
secluded, the pool is heated and has a full
automatic childproof cover. Overlooking the
pool is a summer house with a vine.
The filter house has a changing room,
a cloakroom and shower. The well-tended main
gardens are to the east of the house and are
mostly laid to lawn with various inset mature
flower and shrub beds and patio areas. There is
a further double gated entrance and the garden
is fully enclosed and dog proof.
The grounds extend to around 1 acre
(subject to survey).
LOCATION
Saxlingham is a small village with little more than a selection of attractive, mainly period houses and St. Margaret’s – a 15th century church largely restored in Victorian times. Around
2.5 miles to the north is the coastal village of Blakeney with its narrow streets containing flint faced houses and its Quay which gives access to salt marshes and sailing, seal and bird
watching and many other leisure pursuits. This is a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with wonderful coastal and inland walks. About 3.5 miles to the east is the Georgian
market town of Holt with an increasing variety of restaurants, pubs, shops and galleries and Gresham’s Schools. Around 25 miles to the south is the city of Norwich. Norwich has a
mainline railway station to London (Liverpool Street) and to the north of the city is Norwich Airport with worldwide connections via Amsterdam.

THE BARNS AND OUTBUILDINGS
Adjacent to the farmhouse is a traditional red brick and flint barn under a pantile roof
currently used as an art gallery. Oak doors with handmade door fittings lead to an
impressive open space with a double aspect, floor to ceiling fireplace and chimney,
a heavily timbered and vaulted ceiling, raised plinth and a European limed oak wide
board timbered floor with underfloor heating.
Attached to the barn is a cottage, comprising a ground floor sitting room which has
services enabling a kitchen to be fitted. A staircase leads to the first floor and two good
size bedrooms and a bathroom.
Adjoining the cottage is a triple aspect studio/office with a timbered and vaulted ceiling
and a cloakroom. A door leads to a further double aspect office and this in turn leads
to a light, bright and airy artist’s studio with wonderful uninterrupted views over the
adjacent countryside.
Attached to the studio is a store room and a mezzanine storage area. Steps leads down
from the studio to a summer room, with a terracotta floor, heavily timbered ceiling
and a wine store. Two pairs of double doors lead to a secluded enclosed courtyard with
a large oak pergola. This makes a wonderful entertaining and barbecue area.
A short distance away is a detached garage block with a first floor apartment.
The garage block comprises two double garages with electric doors and a storage room.
An external staircase leads to the first floor and to a spacious well-appointed apartment
comprising a triple aspect open plan sitting room/ bedroom with double doors leading
to a balcony with uninterrupted views over the adjacent countryside,
a kitchenette and a shower room.
