Description
This beautifully converted chalk and brick barn combines the character of its agricultural past with a stylish, contemporary approach to modern living. Extending to approximately 3,542 sq ft (STMS), the home has an impressive sense of scale, with exposed oak, vaulted ceilings and far-reaching countryside views.
At the heart of the home is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, featuring a substantial island, quartz worktops and integrated NEFF appliances, including twin pyrolytic slide-and-hide ovens. Oak beams and posts add warmth, while extensive glazing floods the space with natural light and frames the surrounding countryside.
A striking double-height section overlooks the garden, with full-height glazing and doors opening onto the terrace and lawn. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, complemented by a generous study/utility room and WC.
Upstairs, an oak staircase leads to a glass-balustraded mezzanine, with three generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, fitted storage and a walk-in dressing area, with an en-suite incorporating a free-standing bath and separate shower.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a broad terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining, while open fields beyond create a wonderfully rural backdrop. A gravelled driveway provides generous parking and leads to a substantial detached double garage, measuring approximately 34’6” x 22’6” (STMS), offering excellent storage and potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
NORTHWOLD
Northwold is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, lying on the edge of the Norfolk Fens and Breckland. Close to Thetford Forest, the rural village offers local shops, traditional pubs, and a welcoming village community.
Approximately 20 miles away, King’s Lynn sits on the banks of the River Great Ouse and has been an important centre of trade since the Middle Ages. Its rich history is reflected in the many listed buildings that line the historic quarter, particularly along King Street, once known as “Stockfish Row” and described by Sir John Betjeman as one of the finest walks in England.
With Cambridge, Peterborough, and Norwich all within around an hour’s drive, and direct rail services to London King’s Cross taking approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, King’s Lynn remains popular with commuters and families alike. The town offers a mix of high street retailers, independent restaurants, cultural venues, and leisure attractions, including the Majestic Cinema, the Corn Exchange, and the historic St George’s Guildhall.
To the west of the town, elegant Georgian architecture surrounds The Walks, a Grade II listed historic park spanning 17 hectares. Nearby, The Red Mount, once a stopping point for pilgrims travelling to Walsingham, offers views across the surrounding parkland.
