Description
The Old Barn lives up to its name, a lovely old Norfolk barn dating back to the 18th century. However, it is also an old barn that has been skillfully and sympathetically converted to create a fresh, light and airy interior space, where old meets new to great effect, alongside adding eco-credentials including ground source heat pump and solar PV.
The barn has a wonderful welcome. You step into an impressive double height expanse with vaulted ceilings, full of natural light thanks to floor to ceiling glazing, and open plan living incorporating the kitchen, with island unit, dining and living area. It is a delightful focal point for the house, a sociable space, but also one that can be cosy with an eye catching woodburner, with flue exposed to the rafters. A curved oak galleried landing adds architectural interest, with the old oak beams serving as a reminder of its history.
The ground floor continues, with a future proofing ground floor double bedroom, with en suite shower room finished to a high standard. A utility/bootroom is at the back of the house, essential for everyday living and for when returning from muddy walks across surrounding countryside. Alongside the main open plan living is a living room, providing a quiet space to retreat to or as a potential fourth bedroom.
An oak staircase leads up to the galleried landing with glass balustrades, a great space to appreciate the scale of the barn, and views out over the surrounding countryside. The first floor hosts the principal bedroom, with vaulted ceilings, and an en suite bathroom.
The Annexe
A significant asset to the house is the self-contained annexe. Set behind the main barn, so affording each building with their own privacy, the annexe has a great adaptability. Whether as overflow for the main house, or an exceptional work from home space, or perhaps a pilates or art studio, it caters for all. The principal room is dual aspect, with woodburner and kitchenette, with a bathroom off this, and steps up to a mezzanine level.
Gardens & Grounds
The house has the benefit of two entrances. One is a simple one off a country lane, whilst the other provides an impressive approach through fields, sweeping up to the house. There is plenty of parking, and a useful oak frame cart lodge and garage.
The gardens are a delight. The current custodians have created points of interest, whilst making sure the space remains easily managed. Expanses of lawns, a kitchen garden of raised beds, a greenhouse on a brick plinth with cold frames, a productive orchard, beds of roses and willow maze.
