Description

Just 3.5 miles South of Norwich. A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a wonderful barn conversion in the most stunning of locations adjacent to the Caistor Roman Town ruins settlement in Caistor St Edmund. With uninterrupted views over the ancient settlement and surrounding countryside, the barn offers a rare combination of heritage, character, and lifestyle appeal. The property has been converted from a 17th Century barn which is Grade II Listed to a family residence. The accommodation begins with a charming open plan dining area accessed directly from the front driveway. This light filled space flows beautifully into the landscaped, walled rear garden, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. From here, the room opens into the magnificent living room, a true centrepiece of the home, featuring a dramatic high vaulted ceiling and a large wood burning stove that adds both warmth and grandeur. Just off the entrance area is a convenient cloakroom/shower room, ideal for guests or day to day use. Glazed French doors lead into a characterful kitchen/breakfast room, equipped with solid wood worktops, a Lacanche range cooker, and space for a large fridge/freezer. A walk-in pantry adds further practicality, while a separate utility room provides additional space for appliances and houses the recently replaced oil fired boiler and hot water tank. A step up from the main level, a pleasant sitting room enjoys views across the front meadow and connects to a versatile study/office/Bedroom 4, along with an adjoining bathroom, offering potential for a guest suite or home workspace. One of the most impressive features of the property is the former 52` milking parlour. Already partly converted with a new roof, flooring, windows, and doors, this space presents an exciting opportunity to create a vast amount of additional living accommodation tailored to your needs and vision with planning permission that includes two further bedrooms. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to three well proportioned bedrooms and a good sized family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite WC. Throughout the home, the barn is filled with rich character, boasting exposed beams, rustic brick work, and timber floors. The property is fully double glazed and features oil fired central heating, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and first floor for year round comfort. Please Note: The council approved plans which specified all the work to be done including the fitting out of the annex which is not yet completed. However all the Planning, Listed Building and Building Control permissions are in place so no further permissions are required.

Outside
Outside, the barn is set within a stunning 2.7 acre plot (stms), approached via a long private gravel driveway. The majority of the land is meadow and trees, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting, while the rear of the barn reveals a beautifully landscaped walled garden. This tranquil outdoor space includes a large, terraced patio, a clover lawn, and an enchanting secret corner garden. A small stream runs along one boundary, winding its way towards the Roman ruins further enhancing the magic of this extraordinary setting.

Location
Nestled at the end of a private gravel driveway just 3.5 miles south of Norwich this magnificent barn enjoys a truly unique and picturesque setting, overlooking the historic Caistor Roman Town ruins. With an elevated position that captures both the charm of the Norfolk countryside and the whispers of ancient history, the property offers a rare blend of tranquillity and convenience. Despite its secluded feel, the barn is perfectly positioned for easy access to a range of local amenities. A short drive brings you to the nearby village of Stoke Holy Cross, renowned for its exceptional dining options.
