Description

SUMMARY
The property comprises of Elm Barn, a beautiful single story four-bedroom barn,
Elm Barn View, a generous single story one bedroom holiday let and Elm Barn Lodge, a one bedroom holiday let with accommodation over two floors.
A fantastic property that offers differing lifestyle choices.

DESCRIPTION
The present owners have transformed the property in the recent past, to create a modern home that allows for different lifestyle choices. No expense has been spared in the pursuit of creating a modern home while still retaining a wealth of character and charm associated with a traditional Norfolk barn. The overall property boasts generous accommodation comprising of the 'main' four bedroom barn with versatile accommodation and two self-contained, one bedroom holiday let's - 'Elm Barn Lodge' & (the appropriately named) 'Elm Barn View.' 'Elm Barn View has accommodation based on one level, while 'Elm Barn Lodge' has a first floor bedroom. The self-contained accommodation could be utilized as either a holiday let or multigenerational living. Externally the property offers generous gardens that offer fantastic views over farmland. In addition, the owners have added a superb detached 'home office' in the garden. Perfect for those that work from home but wish to be away from the main accommodation.

Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.

Location
Situated in the heart of Freethorpe, the village is located to the East of Norwich with local facilities including a public house, church and school. There is access close by to the A47 and the larger village of Acle which has a more comprehensive range of amenities including village shops, schools, and a train station.

Elm Barn
The main residence at the property has been sympathetically remodelled with the idea of modern living in my mind, with a focus on retaining the character and charm of a Norfolk Barn. The accommodation is on one level and offers a good blend of living and bedroom space. The kitchen has been replaced with a modern 'farm style' kitchen with doors to a large utility room and walk in pantry. Although built as four bedrooms, one is currently used as a dressing room with built in wardrobes. This is easily converted back for bedroom use. A large lounge and separate dining space have views of the garden and open farmland. The accommodation is finished with a wet room and separate bathroom. A loft space is accessible from the internal hallway and extends across the length of the main barn. It is also possible to stand in the loft and could be converted to further accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consent and permission).

Elm Barn Lodge
Located to the front of the property, Elm Barn Lodge offers accommodation over two floors. Entered via a reception porch, the ground floor accommodation has an open plan kitchen/living space and a bathroom. Stairs rise to a first-floor mezzanine level with a double bedroom. Features include a vaulted ceiling, exposed brickwork, exposed wooden beams and wood flooring. An enclosed low maintenance courtyard is located to the side of the lodge via a wooden gate.

Elm Barn View
Located to the rear of the property, the view is appropriately named for the rear aspect overlooking the garden and farmland. The accommodation is on one level and comprises: an open plan kitchen/living area with sky lights, bathroom with electric shower, double bedroom and a brick base UPVC double glazed conservatory.

External
Each annexe is given its own outdoor space whilst the remainder of the 0.75 acres (STMS) is for the enjoyment of the main barn and offers a variety of features. The long driveway provides ample parking (5 - 6 vehicles with turning space) with a covered parking area whilst the expansive lawn is interspersed with well-stocked beds and mature trees. A selection of outbuildings are housed in the corner of the plot, including a substantial home office. The office measures 15'7 x 13'5 and comprises approximately a third of the overall size of the outbuildings which also includes a veranda which overlooking fields to the rear.
