Horningtoft, Dereham

SUMMARY:
Ivy Farm Barn is positioned on a generous 1/4 of an acre plot (STMS) and is a striking example of a contemporary barn conversion, where character and modern living blend seamlessly. The property offers versatility & space and is equally suited to multi-generational families or anyone seeking a home with room to breathe. Tucked away on a quiet country lane, yet only 15 miles from the stunning Norfolk coast, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside living with a beach just a short drive away. This barn is ready to welcome its new owners and the sale will not be subject to an onward chain. 

MAIN BARN:
Ivy Farm Barn makes an impression the moment your arrive, with its contemporary design, natural materials and generous proportions setting the tone for the home.

Ground Floor: An impressive dining hall with full-height ceilings, bi-fold doors and a striking oak staircase greets you as you enter through the front door, with direct access to the rest of the property, this is a space designed for entertaining and family gatherings. An L-shaped kitchen/dining room forms the true heart of the home - a light-filled hub with triple-aspect windows, a well-equipped kitchen and French doors opening to the rear courtyard, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The family room offers another stunning space, with a must-have log burner, bi-fold doors and even air conditioning - it's the perfect room to unwind, whatever the season. A versatile office/playroom completes the ground floor - ideal for home working or keeping family life organised.

First Floor: A solid oak galleried landing leads to two superb bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, large windows and their own en-suite bathrooms - the blend of natural light, elegant finishes and character features creates a sense of luxury and calm. 

THE REAR BARN:
Adjoining the main barn is a self-contained annex, making this an excellent multi-generational home. An open-plan kitchen/sitting room with dual aspect windows, provides a reception space, whilst a private lobby leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. This "wing" offers complete flexibility, whether for relatives, guests, or teenagers wanting their own independence.
 

OUTSIDE:
The external area has been designed with both ease and enjoyment in mind - a long gravel driveway provides ample parking, whilst the enclosed garden spaces offer something for everyone. To the rear, a generous patio is perfect for alfresco dining or summer gatherings and is complemented by a studio/garden room - ideal as a private office or creative retreat. Additionally, a good-sized lawn, edged by hedging, provides the perfect spot for children to play or even a potential vegetable patch for those who enjoy growing their own.  

LOCATION:
Horningtoft is a charming rural village that perfectly captures the appeal of Norfolk country living, surrounded by open fields and scenic lanes - it's an ideal setting for those who enjoy long countryside walks, cycling or a slower pace of life.

A friendly community atmosphere makes Hornigtoft a welcoming place to call home, whilst the nearby market towns of Fakenham and Dereham offer everything from independent shops and cafés to schools and leisure facilities.
