The Street, West Raynham, NR21

Stable Cottage is an attractive semi detached, single storey barn conversion, constructed of traditional brick and flint and occupying a delightful position in the picturesque village of West Raynham with views over the ancient ruins of St Margaret’s Church. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of refurbishment, creating beautifully presented and characterful accommodation throughout, finished in a tasteful palette of neutral tones.

At the heart of the home is an impressive full height vaulted open plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with an extensive range of base and wall units and offering ample space for a large dining table and chairs. A useful storage room adjoins the dining area and leads through to the shower room, while an inner hallway provides access to two bedrooms and the vaulted sitting room. Situated at the far end of the property, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and a side lobby incorporating a fitted kitchenette. With its own external entrance, this area offers excellent potential for use as a self contained annexe, ideally suited to multi-generational living.

Further features include timber double glazed windows and doors, air source underfloor heating with tiled flooring throughout, painted panelled internal doors and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams in many of the rooms. Offered for sale with no onward chain, Stable Cottage would make an ideal permanent residence, enjoying a convenient rural location with excellent access to the Norfolk coastline. Alternatively, it would serve as a delightful second home, although it cannot be used as a commercial holiday let.

West Raynham is a charming and picturesque village characterised by an attractive mix of traditional brick and flint cottages and period farmhouses. The village benefits from a parish church, a children's play park and the ancient ruins of St Margaret's Church, which are still used occasionally for open air services. On the edge of the village lies the historic Raynham Hall, an impressive 17th-century mansion set within its own extensive parkland and surrounded by rolling, well wooded countryside. The village enjoys a vibrant community spirit with a variety of events organised throughout the year, including a popular annual festival.

Nearby, the larger village of Great Massingham centres around an attractive village green with five ponds and offers an excellent range of amenities.
