5 bedroom property

This beautiful barn dates back to the 17th century and was originally part of the Holkham Estate, owned by the Coke Family.

The barn was converted from an agricultural barn into a luxurious five bedroom family home, residing in the outstandingly beautiful Norfolk countryside. It stands in 1.25 acres (STMS) of land with its own private driveway, entered through a set of large black automatic electric gates set between red brick entrance pillars.

The existing owners spent several years developing this barn to the highest possible standard to create their dream home, with the barn reputed to be, by many, one of the finest renovations in Norfolk. They have particularly enjoyed the hand-crafted kitchen, which includes its own solid oak, temperature-controlled wine cellar made by renowned wine cellar company Sorrells.

The extensive accommodation boasts a total of five double bedrooms, three en-suites, and a family bathroom. With a wealth of reception rooms and a stand-out double-height entrance hall, the main residence provides close to 4,000 sq. ft. of living space. It also incorporates a single-storey, self-contained annexe which can be utilised as one or two bedrooms thanks to a clever layout with an interconnecting door.

The highly impressive staircase, made of glass and oak, truly complements the rest of the house. It leads to a beautiful original brick arch on the gallery landing, which leads to a formal lounge with unobstructed views of the countryside and a wood-burner for those cosy winter nights.

Linking the utility room is a large games room with a hot tub, vaulted ceilings, and underfloor heating. Three sets of bi-fold doors open in the summer to connect to the pool and kitchen courtyard, which features a covered vaulted beam and pantile roof. The pool is insulated and constructed of concrete and tile, with a fully retractable telescopic enclosure, automatic dosing system, and air-source heating powered by solar panels in the summer months, making it extremely economical to run.

Outside, you will discover a large triple garage, fully insulated and equipped with heating and hot water, providing ample parking for three to four cars. Above the garage is a large storage space, which is primed to be converted into further habitable space with the correct consents. Additionally, there is an office equipped with a kitchen and WC, ideal for work-from-home days. The property also includes a storage unit of approximately 35 sqm, featuring lighting, power, and an electric automatic door. Moreover, there is a garden store and a 20 ft. container, surrounded by a wall for secure storage, both with lighting and power.

The vegetable garden features a large poly-tunnel and established grapevines and herbs, ideal for keen gardeners to grow their own food throughout the year!
