The property is laid out in an open-plan configuration, with the kitchen/living room coming just off the entrance hallway. When you step into this room, you are not sure whether to gaze out at the beautiful English garden and countryside backdrop, or simply admire the beautiful double vaulted ceiling that showcases the wonderful architectural details. With striking structural beams blended with modern and contemporary details such as the stainless steel glass and oak railed staircase, this room is visually magnificent, yet has been cleverly designed. To one side, beneath a lowered ceiling, there's a living/snug area that beckons you to sit down as soon as you enter.
If the snug places you into ultimate relaxation, the kitchen/dining area will be a refreshing change. It is an inviting space where guests naturally gather around the wonderful kitchen island for some conversation, drinks and snacks while dinner is being cooked. Once the meal is ready, a short walk to the table awaits, where you can sit and enjoy breath-taking views all year round from the large dramatic windows facing both south and north. Directly off this room is a very practical utility/preparation kitchen for added convenience. In addition, the ground floor boasts a versatile space to the rear, which the current vendor has transformed into a peaceful retreat for writing, painting, or simply reading.
Upstairs and on the large mezzanine, the grandeur of the living room is really appreciated with wonderful views not only of the Norfolk countryside but the room below. The current vendor uses this area as a library and has loved coming up with a glass of wine in hand to get lost in a great book. The space has also been used for a work from home office space.
Further along are three double bedrooms, the principal bedroom stretches the full width of the barn with a private en-suite shower. The remaining two rooms share the modern family bathroom.
Standing outside and looking at the property, you cannot help but marvel at the exquisite grandeur of this enchanting Norfolk barn. Its construction, a perfect blend of flint and brick, epitomises the style and craftsmanship of its era.
As you approach the front of the property, there is a double bay cart lodge equipped with a power supply, ready to accommodate an EV charging point. Additionally, there is a purpose-built workshop with power.
As you venture to the back of the property, a vast garden awaits, boasting a blend of verdant lawn and mature foliage, accented by meandering paths. And as a picturesque backdrop, sprawling fields stretch as far as the eye can see.
