Mill Lane, Keswick, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4

Spacious Barn conversion in superb location just 3 miles from the city centre

Description

Mill Barn is an impressive and substantial barn conversion, set within a highly sought-after location that offers the perfect balance of country living with convenient access to city amenities. The property provides expansive and flexible family accommodation, blending the character of the original barn with the practicality required for modern living.
The ground floor is particularly generous in scale and comprises a striking double-height entrance hall, family room, snug, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility room, laundry room, second hallway and boiler room. The versatility of these spaces allows them to be adapted to suit a variety of needs, whether as additional ground-floor bedrooms, playrooms, a home cinema, or a gym.

Throughout the property, there is a wealth of character features, most notably exposed beams and timbers, along with several fireplaces housing inset log-burning stoves, which create warmth and atmosphere. At the heart of the home lies the contemporary kitchen/dining room, a superb space designed with family life and entertaining in mind. A large skylight floods the room with natural light, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with a range of built-in appliances including an AGA, fridge, freezer, wine fridge and dishwasher. From here, doors open directly onto the raised courtyard, providing excellent indoor-outdoor flow and ideal socialising opportunities.
The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en suite facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a dressing room, a large en suite bathroom, extensive fitted wardrobes and attractive views over the gardens. Bedroom two features another dressing area and en suite and bedroom three also benefits from en suite facilities with another potential bedroom off of it and so makes for an ideal teenagers’ retreat or for guests, further enhancing the home’s strong family appeal. Another double bedroom completes the floor.

Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles, and sits within a pleasant plot of approximately 1.3 acres. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and offer excellent versatility, appealing equally to keen gardeners and family buyers, with generous space to be utilised as desired.

An attractive raised decked courtyard, positioned directly off the kitchen, provides a private and sheltered area for outdoor entertaining, dining and socialising. An outdoor swimming pool is located close to the garden studio, which offers fantastic potential as a gym, hobby space or games room. Further potential can be found within the grounds, where a stable block benefits from permission to be converted into a three-bedroom dwelling. This presents an opportunity for an annexe, multi-generational living or income-generating accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
