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. Further details can be found on the Borough Council of Kings Lynn & West Norfolk Planning Portal Ref: 22/00576/F 

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. This could also provide an invaluable ability to reside in the annexe whilst updating the main house.

The excellent equestrian facilities provide approx. 6 acres of flat grazing land, professional all-weather manège, 4-box stable yard, and a substantial agricultural barn.

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.

Land & Buildings

Both the farmhouse and annexe enjoy private gardens, patios, and generous parking, including space for a horsebox or motorhome.

The Equestrian Facilities have been thoughtfully arranged to support an effortless daily routine, with a smooth stable to yard to manège flow, and immediate access from the yard onto unmade lanes that open into expansive countryside hacking.

The Stable Block includes four well appointed stables fitted with automatic water feeders, supported by internal and external drainage, an adjoining tack room, and a large, versatile heated room with its own WC, ideal for use as a gym, office, or garden room with independent fibre-optic connection.

A 40m x 20m Manège with a sand and rubber surface sits directly off the yard, complemented by a Multi Purpose Barn equipped with power and lighting, perfectly suited for hay storage, machinery, maintenance equipment, and general agricultural use, alongside level, ring fenced Grazing Paddocks enclosed with post and rail and electric fencing.

Prestbury House offers not just a home, but a complete lifestyle estate - combining rural tranquility, multi-generational flexibility, and a superb equestrian environment, in a beautiful and accessible location.

    Mr & Mrs H (Gwynedd)

  • C..... and I could not have made a better decision than employ you to handle our sale. Quite apart from the sheer quality of the Sale Particulars, the number of viewers Rural Scene introduced, and the very high standard of service, we found the personal touch given by you and your office most reassuring....

    Mr & Mrs L (Carmarthenshire)

  • I really wanted to write to you all at Rural Scene to thank you for the professional service you have given us over the years. Richard I would like to thank you personally for your support, I feel you went above and beyond to secure the sale, that we honestly thought would never happen, we appreciate all the effort you gave and the calmness you brought to those stressy situations. I know I can be difficult too, I have worked hard for everything in my life but I am always true to my word. It's some feat that C G had an offer for the full asking price with in a week of going on the market & completed in 2.5 months!
