"A stunning 19th-century home with five bedrooms, expansive grounds and outbuildings with conversion potential"
The Property
A stunning 19th-century home on 3.4 acres (STMS) with paddocks, offering five double bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite. Features a farmhouse-style kitchen with a Range cooker, a grand triple-aspect sitting room, and traditional outbuildings with potential for conversion (STPP).
Blackmoor Farmhouse is a beautifully restored 19th-century gem, believed to be part of the Rider Haggard Estate, that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Once a modest residence, this exquisite home was thoughtfully extended in the 1980s and has been meticulously refurbished by the current owner to a high specification, including a stunning new kitchen as part of the comprehensive remodelling.
Set in a private, sheltered position, the property is surrounded by enchanting wooded grounds, spanning 3.4 acres (STMS). The estate features paddocks ideal for equestrian pursuits, while the beautifully maintained gardens offer a tranquil retreat. A collection of traditional barns, stables and tack rooms provide exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation (STPP).
One of the standout features of the home is the magnificent 30ft triple-aspect sitting room, a truly impressive space with chevron parquet flooring, a deep bay window with seating, and an open fireplace. Whether it’s a bright summer morning or a cosy winter evening, this room is a welcoming sanctuary.
The heart of the home is the newly designed kitchen/dining room, complete with a large kitchen island that naturally draws guests to gather, ample storage, and a Heritage Range cooker, which also provides heating and hot water to the property. The space is generous enough to accommodate a large dining table, perfect for informal gatherings, while a formal dining room offers a more elegant setting for special occasions.
The ground floor boasts two sitting rooms, a formal dining room, library/office, cloakroom, utility room, pantry and an integrated single garage.
Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The primary suite features a luxurious dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms benefit from a Jack and Jill bathroom and shower room.
Externally
The estate is a captivating blend of formal gardens including a vegetable garden with greenhouse, wildlife swimming pool, log cabin, paddocks, and private woodlands.

Description
Local Information
Almost two miles in length, Shipdham is Norfolk’s longest village nestled between the market towns of Watton and Dereham in the Breckland region and a designated Conservation Area. Noted in the Domesday Book as a thriving, well-established settlement of 70 households, it was one of the largest of the time with a church and woodland. During World War II, the village became home to the USAAF 44th bomber group, which was based at its airfield, and the historic site is now home to Shipdham Aero Club and museum.
Today, Shipdham has a thriving community with a fantastic GP surgery, Post Office, nursery and primary school, shops and local pub making it a fantastic village for all ages. Along with a clutch of beautiful period properties, Shipdham has grown in recent years with the development of several quality new-build developments which have been sympathetically incorporated within their rural setting.
Less than 6 miles away is the classic country market town of Dereham, an architectural haven with plenty of Georgian gems set on generous plots, blended with more recent developments.
A twice weekly market appears on Tuesdays and Fridays, along with a strong cohort of independent and specialist shops and free parking, making the town a fabulous place for an afternoon spent browsing.
With good local schools, a leisure centre and golf course, Dereham and its surrounding villages, such as Shipdham, are fantastic locations to enjoy the best of Norfolk country living.
Nearby, the thriving market town of Swaffham, holding markets on Fridays and Saturdays, has an extensive range of amenities including a Waitrose.
