Distinguished Barn Conversion in Weasenham

Within the historic walled grounds formerly belonging to Weasenham Hall, 2 Old Stables is an outstanding barn-style conversion that blends architectural character with a thoroughly modern standard of living. Formerly part of the estate’s stables, the building has been transformed with great care and confidence, resulting in a home of real presence, warmth and quiet sophistication.

The approach sets the tone immediately. From Rougham End, tall redbrick walls guide you through the original entrance into the walled grounds, opening onto a gravelled driveway that leads directly to the property. There is an immediate sense of arrival and privacy, with the historic setting lending both gravitas and charm.

Inside, the accommodation is impressively proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. A generous entrance hall establishes a strong first impression, enhanced by high ceilings that celebrate the building’s heritage while amplifying light and space throughout the ground floor. The atmosphere is welcoming and calm, with a natural flow between rooms that suits both everyday life and entertaining.

At the heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, a beautifully judged room that feels both expansive and intimate. Double doors open directly onto the garden, drawing in natural light and creating a seamless connection between inside and out. The kitchen itself is a particular highlight, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, oak work surfaces, a classic butler sink and a range of high-quality integrated appliances, combining practicality with understated elegance.

The ground floor also benefits from a well appointed bedroom, ideal for guests or single level living, alongside a luxurious shower room finished to a high standard.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The principal bedroom is complemented by its own walk-in dressing room, accessed from the spacious landing and fitted with extensive built in storage. A second double bedroom is equally generous, and both are served by a stylish family bathroom that reflects the quality found throughout the house.

Outside, shingled courtyard gardens wrap around the property, offering a variety of seating areas that provide both shelter and sun at different times of day, perfect for relaxed outdoor dining or quiet moments with a book. Beyond this, the landscaped grounds extend to approximately 0.25 acres (STMS) and include a charming garden studio, ideal for home working, creative pursuits or simply as a peaceful retreat away from the main house.

An attached garage and workshop provide secure parking and useful storage, with additional driveway parking available.

The setting within the former Weasenham Hall grounds offers a rare balance of seclusion and accessibility. The nearby market towns of Fakenham and Swaffham provide everyday amenities, while King’s Lynn offers a broader range of shopping, dining and transport links.

In summary, 2 Old Stables is an exceptional conversion that combines heritage, space and contemporary comfort within a distinguished and highly private setting, creating a home of real quality and lasting appeal.

WEASENHAM
Being only seven miles from Fakenham, and little over 10 to Wells-next-the-Sea - this countryside spot could be your best of both worlds. Split into two, Weasenham has an All Saints and a St Peters - with both areas named after their churches. The village offers glorious countryside views and has a good primary school. In nearby Fakenham, there’s plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor. Foodies are spoilt for choice with locally farmed meat, produce and award winning Mrs Temple’s cheese available to fill your pantry at nearby Walsingham Farm Shops. Save the washing up and dine out at The Ostrich Inn, which has been serving locals since 1841, or indulge at Sculthorpe Mill, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022, on the edge of town.
