Offered for sale with no onward chain, Golden Lion Barn is a rural gem located in Thursford - home to the Thursford Collection of steam engines and host to the world famous Christmas Spectacular.  This brick and flint built barn conversion can be found on the outskirts of the village on a quiet country road but within easy access to Walsingham and the market towns of Holt to the north east and Fakenham to the south west.

The property owners currently run Golden Lion Barn as a holiday lettings business (the coast at Blakeney being a mere 15 minutes drive away) but the barn would equally suit as a permanent residence or a family second home.  The accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms (1 on the ground with a family bathroom) and the other 2 on the first floor (1 being en-suite).  The airy ground floor is a  predominantly open plan space with access either side to the front and rear gardens.

The rear and side gardens offer plenty of opportunity for outdoor entertaining whilst, to the front, the large gravelled terrace leads to a communal parking area.  In all, the gardens and grounds amount to approximately 1/5 acre (subject to survey).  Attached to the the property is a home office with its own separate entrance which could be incorporated as extra accommodation for the main house (subject to the necessary permissions).

The property further benefits from vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, air source central heating, double glazed windows and doors in timber framed and oak veneer internal doors.  The furniture, fixtures and fittings are also available by separate negotiation.
