Description

GUIDE PRICE £875,000 - £900,000. Boasting elegant proportions, reams of natural light and an exacting specification, this extraordinary home offers every ounce of character and luxury one could hope for from a prestigious barn conversion whilst providing a flexible and highly functional family home. A generous plot of two acres (STMS) is nestled amongst the Norfolk countryside and enjoys easy access to market towns such as Reepham and Aylsham as well as the fine city of Norwich.

The large and varied reception rooms to the ground floor are conducive to a harmonious and functional family life with the original character of the barn showcased alongside an impeccable eye for detail and quality. The kitchen dining room houses an array of fine cabinetry alongside a large breakfast barn island serving as the threshold to the remainder of the room, large enough for a formal dining area and further seating; a wonderful space for hosting or simply accompanying the busy schedule of a modern family.

A formal sitting room provides a delicate balance and a space to relax with a wood burning stove tucked in the corner and far-reaching field views to be enjoyed from the windows. A superb addition to the ground floor is grand curved study - a brilliantly versatile reception with the most unique character.

The first floor is home to the four large bedrooms which enjoy all the drama and volume of the vaulted ceilings. The impressive principal suite offers generous proportions alongside the luxurious shower room en-suite whilst two further double bedrooms enjoy equally well-appointed respective en-suites. The fourth bedroom is well served by the spacious family bathroom.

A wonderfully varied plot graces this home and makes for some defined and flexible spaces amongst the two acres (STMS) of grounds. The sprawling front lawn makes for a delightful approach whilst the walled gardens to the rear are an extraordinary sun trap with a vast paved terrace accessible from all the principal receptions. Box hedging, well stocked beds and a manicured lawn make for an immediate environment that is every bit as inviting and refined as the barn itself. Beyond the immediate gardens, a further paddock of approximately 1.5 acres (STMS) adds yet more versatility to a noteworthy home with excellent potential for equestrian use. A variety of outbuildings can be found amongst the plot including a substantial garage, further store and an array of timber outbuildings.
