Situated in the heart of this highly regarded semi-rural village, The Beehive is an attractive former inn, believed to date back to the 17th-century, and Grade II listed due to its architectural significance and historical relevance. The property was operating as a public house until the 1970s, being totally renovated in the 1990s and has undergone additional improvements in recent years.

The property is built of traditional oak timber-frame construction with painted weather-boarded elevations underneath a Norfolk Reed roof and boasts notable original features with the exposed frame evident throughout together with red-brick fireplaces. The property has been subject to further improvements in recent years, with the inclusion of secondary glazing throughout, internal insulation to the top floor and updated bathrooms. The present owners have also landscaped the gardens, as well as added garage, workshop and cart-lodge.

The property extends to around 2,400ft2, with a versatile arrangement of living space which benefits from a good deal of natural light throughout, presented in excellent order, comprising reception hall with cloakroom and useful storage cupboard, a large 30’ sitting room which enjoys a double aspect, with open fire and shelving to both sides of the chimney. The snug has an inglenook fireplace (currently capped) which enjoys a double aspect and access from here to the study and secondary staircase to the first floor.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of base and eye level units, with ample space for a large breakfast table, together with tiled floors and opens out to a utility room, providing further preparation worktops and storage.

On the first floor is bedroom 1, with views to the south, plenty of wardrobe space and neighbouring family bathroom, which is fitted with a modern white suit with freestanding bath, a separate shower cubicle, low level WC and washbasin, with the inner landing providing further storage space and door to bedroom 2, which has views over the gardens and paddocks beyond, as well as a modern en suite shower room.

The second floor is accessed from the staircase from the ground-floor snug, as well as access from bedroom 1, and provides two further bedrooms, with exposed timbers, and sharing access to a WC.

Outside
The property is set back from the road, accessed via a 5-bar gate onto a large parking area, leading to a bespoke oak-frame double cart-lodge, with weather-boarded elevations under a peg-tiled roof, with electric connected.

The driveway leads around the side of the house to a garage workshop, built in the last 10 years, with power and electricity, with the workshop being insulated, double-glazed windows, cabled with Cat 6 network and infra-red heating. There is a covered log store located to the back of the workshop.

The gardens have been beautifully designed and landscaped, with an attractive oak-framed gazebo, lawned areas, large terrace, well-stocked flower beds and kitchen garden.
