Prestbury House is a striking multigenerational equestrian residence, blending heritage charm, contemporary comfort, and a beautifully considered equestrian layout with direct access to miles of open countryside hacking. This rare rural retreat offers independence for multiple generations, superb facilities for horse owners, and a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of Downham Market, Ely, King’s Lynn, and Cambridge.
The main farmhouse, built in c.1911 using traditional construction, retains the character of its period origins while offering practical family living. A single storey rear extension added in 2000 creates a flexible ground floor suite ideal for extended family, guests or dependent relatives, complete with its own ensuite. The remainder of the house provides a warm and inviting flow of reception rooms, a refitted kitchen, and three first floor bedrooms with far reaching outlooks. In addition to its existing layout, the property also benefits from a full design pack with approved town planning permission providing the option to reconfigure the main house into a modern executive style residence, including a striking rear balcony designed to maximise the beautiful open countryside views.
The beautifully designed three bedroom detached annexe, completed in 2022, delivers a refined modern living experience with a high specification kitchen, generous living spaces, and underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor. With its own entrance, garden, and parking, it offers complete independence for extended family or visiting guests.
The West Norfolk village of Stow Bridge is not far from the Cambridgeshire border and benefits from a popular butcher and farm shop with café, a pub, village hall, hairdressers, and a country store. Downham Market is one of Norfolk’s oldest market towns and offers a wider range of shops and amenities, a busy market on Fridays and Saturday, and a main line railway station with trains to London Kings Cross.
