Description

Guide Price: £1,300,000 - £1,500,000. Nestled within the peaceful village of Besthorpe, is this remarkable 5-bed barn conversion that also comes along with an annex and 2 residential properties. The estate epitomises exquisite craftsmanship and unparalleled charm. Spanning 5 acres of versatile land, the two residential properties are currently utilised as short-term rentals, yielding an annual income of £30,000. With additional barn space ripe for conversion and room for a potential glamping spot, subject to planning, this chain-free offering is a rare gem not to be overlooked.

Location

Situated in the picturesque parish of Besthorpe, just a mile from the esteemed Wymondham College, this property offers an idyllic setting ideal for families seeking top-tier private education. Attleborough, a vibrant market town southwest of Norwich along the A11, provides a harmonious blend of convenience and allure. Residents enjoy easy access to an array of amenities, from supermarkets to healthcare facilities, with excellent rail links to Norwich, Cambridge, and London, further enhancing its appeal.

Mayfield Barn

The epitome of prestige, this residence encompasses the main 5-bedroom barn alongside three additional properties, meticulously converted by the current owners. Offering flexible living arrangements and boundless potential, the additional properties include:

Courtyard Barn: A charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom annex

The Hayloft: A 2/3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residential cottage

The Granary: A delightful 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residential cottage

These properties generate an annual income of £30,000 from licensed residential lets (The Hayloft & The Granary) and serve as lucrative revenue streams or luxurious guest accommodations.

The main barn exudes magnificence, boasting five generously proportioned double bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms, an office, formal dining room, cosy snug, and a versatile 31ft gym room. The exquisite kitchen/breakfast room is adorned with impeccable cabinetry, granite worktops, and a matching central island, while a separate kitchen/utility area with a walk-in pantry and WC adds to the functionality. Original features, including large windows, exposed beams, and stone tiling, infuse the residence with rustic charm.

Approaching this extraordinary estate, an electric gated driveway ensures privacy and security, leading to ample parking spaces and a detached garage. The expansive garden, extending over 5 acres, offers ample space for leisure and potentially extends to the adjacent field, providing vehicular access and a possible glamping area, subject to planning. Additionally, a 2-bay barn area presents opportunities for further annexes or office space, subject to planning, further elevating the allure of this prestigious property.
