The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this highly individual and beautifully presented three-bedroom barn conversion with a one-bedroom annexe, occupying private grounds of around half an acre that have been meticulously maintained and are in a delightful rural setting.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a beautiful open-plan kitchen/diner with an attractive bespoke kitchen, a separate useful utility and a spacious living room that looks out onto the surrounding gardens. On the first floor is an impressive galleried landing area along with three comfortable sized bedrooms and a well-appointed ensuite and family bathroom. Outside, there is ample off-road parking on the sweeping driveway, along with a large integral double garage and a separate three-bay cart lodge with a one-bedroom annexe above, which is ideal for multi-generational living or holiday lets. This property is the epitome of "Turnkey" and viewings are essential to fully appreciate everything on offer.

ACCOMMODATION

Visitors are welcomed into the property via the impressive entrance hall which features 2-storey vaulted ceilings along with full-height glazing on the front and rear walls, which floods the room with natural light. This then opens up into the beautiful open-plan kitchen/diner, which is adorned with brick flooring along with beamed ceilings and walls, situated in the heart of the home to create a fantastic place to entertain family and friends. From the dining area glazed doors with double height glazed panels above give access to the south facing gardens. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with a range of attractive storage units under granite worktops, which incorporate a Belfast sink, a free-standing range cooker with extractor hood over and an American-style fridge freezer, plus several integrated appliances. Neighbouring the kitchen is a useful utility room, which is again fitted with a range of storage units along with a single bowl ceramic sink and plumbing/space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. From the utility is access to a cloakroom WC and airing cupboard and through to the double garage with loft space above. Leading off the kitchen/diner on the opposite side of the property is the inviting living room, which again features attractive beamed ceilings and walls and enjoys a double aspect that looks out onto the surrounding gardens. The main focal point of the room, however, is the charming log burner, which adds a cosy feel to the space.

Navigating upstairs via the beautiful oak staircase, you will find the versatile galleried landing area, which features delightful wood flooring and is currently being used as an office space, which is perfect for those who work from home. Arranged around the central landing are three comfortable-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom 1, the master, is a spacious double bedroom which enjoys fantastic field views. Bedroom 2 is a delightful double room, which benefits from a neatly appointed ensuite shower room, which comprises a corner shower and a combination vanity unit with wash basin and WC. Bedroom 3 is a smaller single room that overlooks the rear garden and neighbouring fields. Completing the first floor accommodation is the stunning family bathroom, which is appointed with both a stylish free-standing bath and corner shower along with a wall-hung wash basin with vanity unit and WC.

OUTSIDE

The property is accessed via a five-bar wooden gate that leads onto a sweeping gravel driveway that provides parking for multiple vehicles and access to a large integral double garage with automatic roller doors and a separate 3-bay cart lodge. The current owners had to cart lodge constructed in 2018, which features one open-fronted bay and the other two with timber double doors. Above this is an excellent one-bedroom self-contained annexe which comprises a main living area with a kitchenette along with a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room. This extra accommodation has the potential to be used as a holiday let or would suit buyers who require space for multi-generational living.

The gardens have been meticulously maintained with large areas of lawn, boarded with hedges and features several mature trees. There is also an attractive patio area which extends from the rear and side of the property, which is a great place to relax in the sun. Leading off the patio is a raised decked area which features an inviting swimming pool and summer house, with power connected, which is fantastic for entertaining in the summer. The pool is also heated via its own air-source heat pump.
