Frenze, Diss

Known as The Crimea, this stunning former agricultural railway building presents a rare and exciting opportunity to create a truly unique contemporary home in the Norfolk countryside. Full planning permission has already been granted (reference 2024/2735) for a bold and imaginative conversion that redefines rural living. Re-envisioned by skilled architects, the approved design transforms the existing structure into a light filled, spacious residence that blends industrial heritage with modern elegance. Vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork, sweeping zinc roofs, and dramatic floor to ceiling glazing come together to create a striking architectural statement, opening the home up to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The layout offers flexibility for up to four bedrooms, alongside generous living and entertaining areas. A standout feature of the design is a luxurious wellness suite, complete with a pool, sauna, and hot tub, perfectly positioned for both relaxation and privacy. More than just a home, The Crimea has been conceived with a deep sensitivity to its rural setting. The plans incorporate wildlife friendly features, including a dedicated bat roost, while eco conscious technologies such as an air source heat pump, sustainable drainage systems, and low water use fixtures ensure the property treads lightly on the environment. This is a rare chance to bring to life an extraordinary rural retreat that seamlessly integrates architecture, landscape, and sustainability.
