Gilson Bailey are delighted to present this truly stunning and rarely available detached residence, set back from the road on approximately 0.75 of an acre in the charming and sought-after village of Wicklewood, part of which incorporates a former working, brick-built Norfolk Corn Mill dating back to the 1820s. This remarkable home combines rich period character with modern comforts, offering a unique lifestyle opportunity in a setting of peace and tranquillity.

Further ground-floor highlights include a utility room, breakfast room, and a versatile study which could easily serve as an additional bedroom. On the first floor, three spacious bedrooms each enjoy the luxury of their own en-suite bathroom, with bedroom one set within the windmill itself, featuring a charming staircase that rises to the top-floor dressing room/playroom – offering multiple potential uses. Outside, an impressive driveway sweeps up to the property, opening into stunning, immaculately maintained gardens that are a joy to behold, with expansive lawns, a variety of mature fruit trees, and glorious field views providing a true sense of escape.
