The Property

Pump Farm is believed to date from the mid 1700s and is of a timber frame construction. The property has been updated and extended, retaining many period features and yet provides a contemporary home for modern living. The most recent extensions were carried out by the current owners in 2003.



You enter the property into the well proportioned reception hall. This room is open plan to the dining room and has a brick fireplace (capped). A doorway from the hall leads to the kitchen, which has a pamment tiled floor and a fine range of kitchen cabinets. There is also space for a range cooker and fridge/freezer. In the dining room is an inglenook fireplace and stair access to the first floor. Beside the inglenook is a corridor to the sitting room and study. The main sitting room has another inglenook fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove – perfect for colder days! Adjoining the kitchen there is a good size conservatory. The owners are able to use this southerly facing room all year round. Also on the ground floor is a useful boot-room and cloakroom. On the first floor is a large landing space which makes a pleasant seating area, this provides access to the four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a tall portrait window to westerly aspect and wide window which faces south. The family bathroom is of a good size with a roll top bath, wc and pedestal hand wash basin. The shower room, located at the other end of the house, benefits from a large shower cubicle, wc and basin. This shower room could be used to create an en-suite to either of the westerly facing bedrooms.



Outside

The farmhouse is approached by a long driveway, this is owned by Pump Farm. Two adjacent properties have a right of way over the drive and also contribute towards the maintenance as and when required. The driveway leads to a parking area to the front and side of the house, with ample room for a garage or cart-lodge (stpp). The south facing rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a number of flower beds, fruit trees and a patio terrace which stretches along the rear of the conservatory. To the corner of the garden is a lovely pergola seating area. In all, the plot equates to around 0.27 acres (sts).



Location

Pump Farm is hidden from the road, situated down a long drive at the centre of Bunwell village. Although centrally located, the house overlooks fields and offers privacy due to its tucked away position. The village of Bunwell is well served by a well-stocked village store, primary school, church, village hall and butchers. The surrounding villages of New Buckenham, Tacolneston and Long Stratton provide further schooling and day-to-day facilities. The bustling market town of Wymondham is around 6 miles to the west and is also home to Wymondham College. To the north is the cathedral city of Norwich, which can be easily accessed via the A11. To the south is the market town of Diss,which has a mainline train station on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line, taking approximately 90 minutes to get into central London.
