Bramerton Road, Surlingham, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Browne’s Croft Barn is a striking and highly individual detached barn conversion, set within expansive and beautifully established private grounds approaching one acre (stms). Rich in character and history, the property has been thoughtfully re-decorated by the present owners since their purchase, enhancing both the presentation and comfort of this exceptional home.

Approached via an impressive sweeping driveway, the property immediately conveys a strong sense of arrival. Extensive off-road parking is provided, complemented by a substantial double garage and adjoining single garage.

Of particular note is the exciting future potential offered by the outbuildings. Planning permission for the two outbuildings is imminent, to convert into Two 1x bed holiday lets. Detailed architect drawings are available to view. The buildings are discreetly positioned within the grounds and include the existing garages together with the substantial detached outbuilding, offering excellent scope for income generation or ancillary accommodation.

The principal outbuilding extends to approximately 49ft in length with an attached garden room and enjoys open views across neighbouring farmland, creating an ideal setting for holiday accommodation. The scale of the grounds allows for separation between the main house and the proposed holiday units, maintaining privacy for both.

The gardens themselves are a true highlight; mature, well-established and highly private, with trees and planting, creating a peaceful, secluded environment. A beautiful wildflower meadow and multiple seating areas enhance the setting, while the outlook across open countryside reinforces the rural feel. Despite this, the property remains within convenient reach of Norwich city centre, offering an excellent balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Internally, the accommodation within the main house extends to approximately 2,050 sq. ft. (excluding the outbuildings) and is arranged over split levels, providing flexibility and character throughout. A welcoming entrance porch leads into a dramatic central hallway featuring exposed beams, a central staircase and a striking double-height ceiling.

The dual-aspect kitchen offers generous space for dining and everyday living, supported by an adjoining lobby and utility room. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the sitting room creates a warm and inviting space for family gatherings, centred around a characterful wood-burning stove, with double doors opening onto a private walled garden overlooking the wildflower meadow.

A generously proportioned drawing room enjoys a delightful outlook and features an impressive fireplace, while a separate study provides an ideal work-from-home environment. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation at this level.

To the first floor, three well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a gallery landing, alongside a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two features a staircase rising to a mezzanine bedroom, offering excellent flexibility as a fourth bedroom, guest suite or additional workspace, with attractive views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Browne’s Croft Barn offers a rare combination of character, space and future potential, with the added benefit of imminent planning permission for holiday accommodation. An internal inspection is essential to fully appreciate the scale, setting and lifestyle opportunities on offer.

The village of Surlingham is perfect for those seeking quiet but convenient living, located on the renowned Norfolk Broads and positioned just 6.5 miles southeast of the Cathedral City of Norwich. it’s clear to see why properties don't become available here too often.
