North Tuddenham

Dating back to 1897, The Barnhouse is a former farming community chapel, now transformed into a distinctive countryside residence that offers a rare combination of heritage charm and stylish living. Positioned along a quiet country lane, this impressive home enjoys stunning open views across surrounding farmland.

From the moment you arrive, The Barnhouse makes a lasting impression. Set sideways on to the road, a gravelled driveway and beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the home. Mature trees, seasonal planting, and thoughtfully designed seating areas create a peaceful outdoor haven. Whether enjoying a morning coffee in the sunshine or dining al fresco on the raised terrace on a summer’s evening, the garden space feels like an extension of the home.

Inside, the charm continues. A sense of space and warmth flows through the house, with over 1,700 sq. ft. of accommodation across two floors. The 23ft kitchen/breakfast room is a welcoming space featuring restored parquet flooring, granite worktops, and a range-style cooker, making it perfect for relaxed family meals. The heart of the home is a stunning triple-aspect sitting and dining room with a chapel window and wood-burning stove bringing both comfort and character, while the second reception room offers flexibility as a snug, home office, or creative retreat.

Upstairs, the home offers four bedrooms, including a principal suite complete with a dressing room, cast iron fireplace, and exposed original floorboards. The stylish bathrooms include a luxurious roll-top bath and an enclosed shower, designed for both relaxation and practicality.

A standout feature is the detached larch-framed garden room – a versatile outdoor living space currently used for yoga, barbecuing, and evening gatherings. With power and shelter, it’s perfect for year-round enjoyment.

With field views in every direction, easy access to the A47, and the village pub, shop, and community just moments away, The Barnhouse blends countryside tranquillity with everyday convenience.
