Harpley

Located within the picturesque and leafy village of Harpley - perfectly placed between the market towns of Fakenham, King’s Lynn and Swaffham - this gorgeous three bedroom barn conversion bungalow, offers an enviable blend of rural charm and timeless character, with the stunning North Norfolk coast just a short drive away.

Stepping inside, the home immediately reveals its barn heritage, with an entrance hall where exposed brick accents set the tone. Beyond lies the heart of the property: an expansive sitting and dining room where vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and an impressive brick fireplace with wood burner, combine to create a magnificent yet inviting and cosy space. Perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings by the fire, this is a room that adapts effortlessly with the seasons - airy and open in summer, warm and welcoming in winter.

From here, the garden room offers a tranquil retreat, framing views across the mature gardens and providing the ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee or a peaceful afternoon read, sheltered from the elements. The kitchen/breakfast room, well-equipped with an abundance of cabinetry and space for informal dining, is perfectly designed for day-to-day family life, with the adjoining utility and boot room adding a layer of practicality so essential for country living.

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged. Two generous double bedrooms share a family bathroom in their own wing, creating privacy and space for family or guests. Across the hall, at the opposite end of the home, the principal suite enjoys its own dedicated wing - an indulgent sanctuary recently refurbished to a high standard. Here, a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room and bespoke dressing room complement a light-filled bedroom that looks out onto the garden, offering the ultimate private retreat.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight - largely laid to lawn and enhanced with mature planting, they open out towards a shared meadow with a tranquil pond, creating a wonderful sense of space and connection with nature. A patio area provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and summer gatherings.

Adding yet more versatility, an impressive outbuilding houses a triple bay cart shed, garden store and a substantial games room, office or studio - a space that holds endless potential, whether for working from home, creative pursuits, entertaining or even a guest annexe (subject to relevant permissions).

This is a home that not only captures the character and warmth of a barn conversion but has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living, a property that promises both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure, in one of Norfolk’s most desirable rural villages.
