Description
The Property High House Farm is an attractive period farmhouse circa 1500 with later additions and alterations listed Grade II*. The property has much period detail remaining, particularly with regard to the exposed timbers and many of the original doors which are part of the * listing. The property has great charm and character and is beautifully situated in a peaceful, rural location on the edge of Wreningham yet convenient for Wymondham and the A11 trunk road.
The property has been under the current ownership from the end of 2001 from which time considerable improvement works have taken place including the upgrading of the wiring and plumbing systems, sandblasting of most of the beams to reveal the original beauty of the wood, new oak windows installed to most windows approved by British Heritage. The main roof has been rebuilt installing two large attic rooms with new guttering and the kitchen has been refitted in Shaker-style units with black granite work surfaces.
Since purchasing the property the present owners have acquired additional land and outbuildings and have installed land drains. The property would be ideal for equestrian use as among the outbuildings are 4 timber stables. The property has oil heating to the ground and first floor, but there is no central heating to the second floor.

There is a further timber framed period barn which is in need of renovation and repair. Behind the house are wide formal lawned gardens with mature hedging marking the boundaries and the remaining paddocks are situated on the southeast with hedged boundaries.
