Beachamwell

An exceptionally unique and rare opportunity, Hall Barn has not been available for more than 30 years. Situated on a superbly private plot of just over 2.5 acres (STMS), this incredibly characterful Norfolk barn conversion presents a whole host of possibilities for those seeking a truly exceptional property.

The internal floor area extends to more than 5,000 square feet, showcasing an abundance of features that have been both retained and sympathetically introduced, brilliantly demonstrating and embracing the journey of the structure from its former agricultural use, to its current status as an enviable home.

Currently, the property has been cleverly subdivided into five elements, totalling a potential 12 bedrooms, with five enjoying their own en-suite. The two larger sections at either end boast living rooms on the first floor, affording elevated views over the mature surrounding gardens and fields beyond.

A further studio annexe offers yet more flexibility to this already hugely diverse premises. Subject to the relevant permissions, there is potential for a wealth of income streams through holiday let or rental opportunities.

A Mediterranean-inspired design to the walled garden area provides a delightfully sheltered south-facing oasis, perfect for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.

Additional outbuildings include a large double garage with accompanying workshop and store, as well as a separate double garage. The home is surrounded by open lawns and mature trees, providing an incredible sanctuary for family, friends, visitors, and wildlife alike.

While the home could benefit from updating throughout, it presents an exciting adventure of remarkable proportions for those with vision and creativity. Embark on an extraordinary journey of continued restoration and transformation.
 

Beachamwell Beachamwell is a small rural village five miles from the market town of Swaffham. There were settlements in and around Beachamwell as far back as neolithic times, but the modern village really dates from around 1815 when the first houses were built around the green. The church, St Mary's, dates back over a thousand years and, with its thatched roof, is considered to be one of the most attractive churches in England. There is a mobile Post Office which visits four mornings a week, and the village has a pub, The Great Danes Country Inn - named after the dog rather than the invading hoardes.

There's easy access to Downham Market, Swaffham and Norwich, and King's Lynn is approximately 13 miles away. Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.

King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.

With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.

A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listed, 17-hectare park where elegant folk once promenaded. Families still enjoy weekend walks or a Sunday concert in the park.

Ideal for those who desire the best of both worlds, Beachamwell offers rural living whilst perfectly situated to access all that Norfolk has to offer, from beaches to woodlands, and just a stone's throw from beautiful market towns.
