The property presents an increasingly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial barn for conversion in an idyllic rural position. The property offers potential to create a bespoke new home within the period frame of an impressive building.

The vendors obtained planning permission through North Norfolk under reference PF/07/0184 for conversion of the barn to holiday accommodation. However, in 2016 under reference PF/16/0565 they obtained planning permission for a full residential consent. The principal barn has been designed to be largely open plan upstairs with four bedrooms to the ground floor. However, a buyer can easily adapt the space and reconfigure the layout to suit personal needs.

In addition to the principal barn is a substantial single storey former cart shed which the vendors obtained planning permission for conversion to create an indoor swimming pool, plant room, changing room and a covered alfresco dining area. Clearly this space can be adapted subject to planning permission to suit a variety of requirements.

The property is approached from Stable Lane initially via a short shared driveway that splits and continues into a private driveway to the property. Between the principal barn and cart shed is a large courtyard which could form a superb walled garden. The property is set in approximately half an acre and there are delightful views over the surrounding countryside. 

EDINGTHORPE The small rural village of Edingthorpe is set in lovely countryside which is spread across three different areas, all benefiting from duck ponds. The area benefits from tens of miles of off-road walking via bridleways which includes Paston Way, safe cycle routes on NNDC designated 'quiet lanes' and with canal, beach, heath and woodland walks close by. Edingthorpe is located approximately 3 miles from North Walsham and 10 miles from Cromer. North Walsham is a popular market town. The town offers many amenities including a range of supermarkets, leisure facilities, shops, primary and secondary schools, sixth form college, doctors surgeries and a cottage hospital. There are regular bus and train services to the cathedral city of Norwich, where there are a wider range of facilities including an international airport and mainline rail links to London Liverpool Street and beyond. Cromer is a picturesque coastal town with a good selection of shops and restaurants. There is a spectacular Victorian pier, at the end of which is a restaurant and a 500 seat pavilion theatre. The theatre hosts a wide variety of shows, from March to the end of December and is also home to a modern Lifeboat, which is launched from the end of the pier slipway. Cromer is renowned for its award winning sandy beaches and its famous Cromer Crabs. Other attractions include a cinema, Amazonia Zoo and the Cromer Museum and Lifeboat Museum. The town has its own railway station with a good service to Norwich and other prime amenities including a hospital, doctors surgery, dental surgery, library and the Royal Cromer Golf Club (18 hole).
