Description Warrens Farm was originally part of the adjoining Sotterley Estate and was sold away from the estate in 1976. The original house dates from about 1650 and is of oak timber frame construction under a pantiled roof with either brick exterior skin or rendered and colour washed. During 1978 the house was comprehensively restored, extended and modernised and a wing was built on the south side in keeping with the original property. The property has been under the present ownership for approximately the last 10 years during which time further upgrading and modernisation works have taken place to include upgrading of the bathrooms and recent external redecoration. Warrens Farm is a most attractive comfortable family home in a charming and secluded rural setting with good westerly views over open country. A particular feature of the property are the extensive range of outbuildings. Recent works include the renovation of the open fronted garages and considerable renovation to the 5 horse stable block with power, water and alarm systems laid on, and a tack room which is heated and has power for washing machine. There is a concrete walkway around the stables and good riding on the neighbouring Sotterley Estate for a small annual charge. Some of the outbuildings are in need of renovation and offer lots of potential, subject to the normal planning consents being obtained. The accommodation offers a good degree of flexibility and many period features remain including exposed timbers, fireplaces etc and we draw your attention to the floor plans for a full explanation as to how the accommodation is arranged. Outside The house is approached on the southeast side via a sweeping gravel driveway with central grassed island leading to a parking area and the main entrance to the house. Upon entering the drive there is a substantial brick built barn in need of repair and renovation, next to a range of single- storey open fronted barns that have been renovated and are used for garaging. Immediately behind the house on the northeast side is a

courtyard with a further range of single-storey outbuildings which have been converted into a useful office with adjoining drying room with electric heating and freezer room. A natural garden leads away from the outbuildings and courtyard on the north east corner with an attractive young woodland and pond. The formal gardens are largely on the southwest side of the house with an attractive paved terrace. The formal lawned garden leads away on the west side with neat lawns and pergolas creeping roses enjoying a delightful vista south across farmland and the Sotterley Estate. At the east of this formal part of the garden is a further range of largely single-storey brick outbuildings again in need of further renovation and could subject to the normal planning consents being obtained be used for a variety of uses. To the west of the formal garden is the vegetable garden with young orchard and green house. Adjoining is the stable yard with stable block comprising five stables, tack room and concrete walk area with power and water connected. Beyond the stables is a large fenced paddock on the northwest side with mature hedging marking the western boundaries. To the northwest is a further area of land which is surrounded by trees and it maybe possible to rent this additional land from the local land owner if required. The vendor will be happy to discuss this further with any intending purchaser. There is a second entrance drive on the far southern corner that leads to the stable block and paddock. Gardens and grounds in all extend to 2.37 acres est. Services Waveney District Council. Council Band F.
