Ivy Farm - Luxury Cottage In Norfolk

The perfect retreat! Come and visit this gorgeous, characteristic, grade II Listed farmhouse situated in the country village of Grimston. Grimston is surrounded by open rolling fields, Sandringham Estate and only a 20-minute drive to the popular beaches that hug the expansive Norfolk coastline. However, if you don’t fancy the drive Ivy Farm has its very own heated pool and pool house. It really does have everything to offer!

This luxury retreat is perfect if you are looking for large house for a group of friends or two families. With six gorgeous bedrooms and luxurious furnishings throughout, you will adore the space and opportunities this house offers. There’s a village pub in walking distance and the excellent Congham Hall country hotel with its luxury spa just down the road.

It’s hard to know where to start when exploring Ivy Farm; the sumptuously furnished rooms exude class and style, yet there’s a relaxed, homely feel about it all.

From the moment you step in to the reception hall, you almost feel like you’ve walked into a film set. Enjoy the sophisticated dining room, the relaxed drawing room with piano and views across the beautiful gardens, and the superb fitted bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and four oven Aga. For more room to spread out there’s a charming garden room, a cosy snug and even a cinema room to the ground floor. On the first floor you’ll find six lavishly furnished bedrooms, two being en-suite, as well as a family bathroom and a shower room, all being completed to a high standard.

Outside is no less impressive and luxurious. The stunning established gardens are perfect for playing, relaxing with a book or dining alfresco. And of course the heated outdoor swimming pool (open May half term to end of October) is bound to be popular with adults and children alike. All set in extensive grounds, so privacy is guaranteed here.
