Beautifully Converted Semi-Detached Barn in Little Ellingham

Set within unspoilt Norfolk countryside, this beautifully presented barn conversion blends timeless character with generous contemporary living. The Hayloft enjoys a peaceful position surrounded by open fields, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of Attleborough and the charming Georgian village of Hingham.

Extending to around 2000 sq. ft., the property is centred around an impressive open-plan living space where vaulted proportions, exposed timbers and abundant natural light create a wonderfully sociable heart to the home. A substantial wood burner provides a cosy focal point during the winter months, while large windows frame delightful views across the surrounding countryside.

The accommodation is both versatile and thoughtfully arranged, including two dedicated office spaces ideal for home working, a snug mezzanine retreat above the kitchen, and a spacious principal suite enjoying elevated rural views. Two further generous guest bedrooms are served by both a bathroom and separate shower room.

Outside, the south-facing garden has been beautifully designed for outdoor living, complete with a vine-covered pergola, mature fruit trees and plenty of space to entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. Originally part of a working farm dating back to the 1850s, The Hayloft retains a wealth of charm while offering the comfort and practicality of modern living.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful countryside home in an idyllic Norfolk setting.

LITTLE ELLINGHAM
North of Attleborough and west of Wymondham, Little Ellingham is a rural village with roots reaching back to the Domesday Book, where it was recorded as home to just 19 households. Though it has grown over the centuries, it remains a peaceful and characterful setting surrounded by open countryside.

St Peter’s Church sits on the village edge, noted for its unusual square south-side tower and French-style stained glass windows – a legacy of a 19th-century restoration partly funded by Edward VII. Nearby, the ornate Italianate Clock Tower, built in 1885 as a folly, adds another distinctive feature to the landscape.

For everyday needs, Attleborough and Wymondham are close by, offering supermarkets, independent shops, and leisure facilities. Wymondham Abbey, with its vibrant calendar of arts and community events, stands as a cultural highlight, while Wymondham College, located between the two towns, offers outstanding state day and boarding education.

With excellent schools, easy access to Norwich – less than 20 miles away – and a choice of period homes on generous plots, Little Ellingham offers an appealing blend of rural living and modern convenience, making it a hidden gem for those seeking a Norfolk escape.
