Hill Common Farm: A Distinguished Country Residence in Norfolk

The property enjoys a setting of rare seclusion, where passing traffic is limited to neighbouring residents, their guests, and the occasional farm vehicle. The approach immediately conveys a sense of calm and exclusivity, allowing the home to feel both connected and comfortably removed from the outside world.

Enveloped by open fields and woodland with a small number of neighbouring homes, it offers both privacy and a sense of rural harmony. The surrounding landscape provides an ever-changing backdrop, where seasonal colours, open skies and the gentle sounds of nature create a peaceful atmosphere that is a constant pleasure to return to.

Beyond its gates, landscaped grounds and hidden potential hint at a life both cultivated and untold. From the vaulted entrance hall to the serene garden vistas, every detail contributes to an atmosphere at once refined and inviting, a place where elegance meets everyday living, and where family moments naturally unfold.

What follows is a glimpse into those spaces, living portraits of a lifestyle both elevated and enduring.

Vestibule & Staircase

Passing through the handcrafted oak front door, one is greeted by a dramatic entrance hall crowned with a vaulted ceiling, a crystal chandelier, and a sweeping oak staircase that rises with effortless grandeur. With bespoke panelling, high skirting boards, and Farrow & Ball finishes, each detail echoing a careful balance of tradition and modernity.

The flooring has been chosen with equal discernment: natural limestone graces the reception hall, study, kitchen/breakfast room and hallways; plush carpets soften the bedrooms and media room/family room; and engineered oak flows through the principal reception rooms, each surface designed not only for timeless beauty, but to endure the rhythm of family life.

Gathering Rooms

This exceptional home offers three distinct reception rooms, each a study in comfort and elegance. The sitting and dining rooms, both anchored by fireplaces with wood-burning stoves, are spaces that invite quiet reflection or intimate gatherings, the rich oak floors grounding the rooms in warmth.

The family room, a sanctuary of relaxed domesticity, opens onto the gardens, offering a tranquil outlook that shifts beautifully with the seasons. Thoughtfully designed to suit modern lifestyles, this versatile space also serves as a dedicated cinema/media room, carpeted for comfort and ideal for immersive film nights or relaxed entertaining.

Practicality is rendered with style: a dedicated study, utility room with bespoke storage and traditional boot room with separate entrance enhance daily life, while a guest cloakroom finished in Burlington sanitaryware offers a discreet nod to refinement.

Preparation & Dining

At the core of the home lies a handmade solid ash kitchen, a bespoke creation marrying form and function. Oak chopping boards, elegant quartz worktops, and an integrated oak pantry cupboard complement Bosch appliances, including full-height fridge and freezer, two double ovens with 4D Hotair technology, induction hob with pop-up extractor and dishwasher, every element designed for seamless integration and effortless culinary pursuit.

Natural light floods the space through two skylights, while LED mood lighting accentuates its sculptural qualities. Wide bi-fold doors extend the interior to the sandstone patio, creating a seamless dialogue between inside and out, perfect for a family get together and for children to run freely between the house and garden.

Built-in Sonos speakers provide the perfect soundtrack for family breakfasts, weekend gatherings or celebrations that extend long into the evening, a kitchen designed not only for cooking, but for family living.
