Bishops Farm, named thus after the Bishop of Norwich who originally owned the land, is a cosy, late eighteenth century house full of period features, with a south facing large garden, generous outbuildings and enjoying an elevated position at the end of a quiet road. Formerly a small farmhouse and cider barn, this stone built house under a tiled roof offers flexible living with a traditional farmhouse kitchen at its heart. As you enter, a hallway leads you into the breakfast room and kitchen, passing a covetable larder on the way. The kitchen comprises cream Shaker style fitted units on a quarry tiled floor and space for a conventional oven in addition to the oil-fired Aga (blue) which also provides hot water for half the house. There is a 1.5 stainless steel sink with a useful waste disposal unit and space and connection for a dishwasher. The kitchen is open plan with the breakfast room with sliding doors onto the terrace. Just adjacent is the cloakroom and utility room, conveniently situated by the back door, with wood worktops, a Belfast sink, shelving and space and connection for a washing machine.

The welcoming dining room incorporates a large stone fireplace with a wood burner, recessed cupboards and shelves and window seats under an original, beamed ceiling. The spiral staircase, built by a local engineer, is one of two staircases that rise upstairs. There is a generous, south facing drawing room with French doors onto the terrace. A brick fireplace with recessed Tortoise Firebox under a wooden mantel tastefully blends in with the exposed beams and period character of the room and is flanked either side by built in wooden bookcases.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, shower room and walk through dressing room/study. On the east side, the master bedroom is a delightful, dual aspect room with fitted wardrobes, window seats and a bathroom directly adjacent. There is abundant storage in the walk-through study/dressing room with a range of fitted cupboards, airing cupboards and an immersion tank. On the west side there are two dual aspect double rooms with views over the garden and fitted cupboards, with a shower room across the landing. This "west wing" provides useful private guest or multi-generational accommodation.

GARDEN AND OUTBUILDINGS
The spacious and private south-west facing garden comprises a terraced garden leading up to a large lawn bounded by laurel and mixed hedges, with raised flower beds, shrubs and trees including a lovely Magnolia, Bramleys and a crab apple. Outside the sitting room, a delightful terrace with a pergola enveloped by a productive grape vine provides ample space for al fresco dining, enjoying afternoon and evening sun.
