Description

SUMMARY
This wonderful barn was converted by the current owners to create a spacious four-bedroom single storey home with many exemplary features set on a south facing plot which extends to around ¾ acre (STMS).

DESCRIPTION
This spacious brick & flint barn was carefully designed and converted by the current owners creating wonderful accommodation around a south facing courtyard with the total plot approaching ¾ acre (STMS). This accommodation has been built with modern living in mind, while retaining the character of a period building. Of particular note is the impressive open plan kitchen/dining/living room with its vaulted ceiling having exposed timbers, contemporary kitchen and wood burning stove. This room is glazed to the courtyard garden with two sets of bi-fold doors opening to a deck and the garden beyond. Three of the four double bedrooms are accessed via a hall, again glazed to one wall overlooking the courtyard, while the fourth is accessed from the main living space. Additionally, there is a shower room, bathroom and utility room. Externally a sweeping gravel drive provides plenty of parking, from which a gate opens to the enclosed area of garden alongside the barn and steps lead up to the main area of garden, which is laid to grass. Beyond this garden a footpath leads to the village of Castle Acre.
