The Linen House
This wonderful property is tucked away in a private setting within the village of North Lopham. It sits behind the main street down a gravel driveway and on arrival greets you with a characterful barn conversion as the main house, paved walled courtyard, parking area and gardens. There are numerous outbuildings and land extending to approx 2.58 ha/ 6.37 acres. Here is a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking for an established equestrian property, or with this much space and land around you, may be suited to a number of other uses.

The Linen House itself has been thoughtfully converted from a former working building into a comfortable modern home with good-sized rooms and a practical layout. The central hallway and landing with vaulted ceiling provides a spacious and welcoming entry to the home. In the hallway is a handsome solid oak carpeted staircase and double doors into each of the two reception rooms. These are both a similar size, providing ample space, the sitting room enjoying a feature exposed brick fireplace and chimney with woodburner fitted, timber floors, exposed structural timbers, and triple aspect windows. Recessed lighting and smooth plaster finishes add a more contemporary touch, whilst the massive structural timbers are exposed adding character. The second large reception room with windows to front and rear again with timber flooring and recessed plus picture lighting currently is used as a Study. A door leads into the inner lobby, to a ground floor shower room, then to a well fitted utility room, and into the spacious family dining room/kitchen. This large and well-appointed room, has two velux windows a window to the rear, and two sets of French doors leading to the paved courtyard at the front. The kitchen provides ample space, a Belling range cooker, a large fridge-freezer, dishwasher and good range of cupboard and bench preparation space. There is practical terracotta pamment flooring and plenty of room for a large family dining table and freestanding furniture.

Upstairs the rooms all enjoy vaulted ceilings, with the volume of the original barn space really expressed. The central landing is both bright and impressive, has full width window to the front and a velux window. The solid oak balustrade is a lovely feature. The family bathroom to the rear has an airing cupboard containing pressurised hot water cylinder and is well fitted with a corner shower enclosure, freestanding style bath, WC, basin and has a tiled floor and velux window above. There are three good sized bedrooms upstairs each again enjoying the vaulted ceilings with exposed original timbers, windows mainly to the front and sides and velux roof windows to the rear elevation.

Outside
The property is approached from a shared gravel driveway running past the neighbouring properties. Entering via a 5-bar gate into the initial house yard with block paved courtyard where there is space for parking for several vehicles and an attractive lawned front garden. A further farm gate takes you into the stables yard with an old clay lump stable/barn with lapsed planning permission for potential conversion. There are 2 block built buildings containing 5 stables and store/tack room and outside WC. Behind the old clay-lump barn building is a chicken shed. Behind the main stable block is a large portal framed metal agricultural open barn providing excellent storage, with solar panels on the roof. Beside this barn is a large greenhouse and further 4 x dog kennel enclosures. The land continues with well-defined and fenced paddock areas, a menage, plus direct access via 5 bar gate out to a neighbouring bridleway, providing an excellent opportunity for further riding adventures beyond the paddocks.
