House For Sale £650,000
Nestled within an exclusive and sought-after cluster of exquisite barn conversions, 'Grand Barn No. 2' delivers the refined elegance of a stylish modern home, enveloped within the embrace of a historic Norfolk barn.
Reams of natural light adorn the fastidious finish throughout the home and make for an enchanting setting in which to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle, creating memories with friends and family.
Striking open-plan spaces have been expertly interwoven with separate receptions and essential practicalities, making for a deceptively versatile and functional home.
A keen eye for drama, alongside functionality, is evident immediately with a choice of entrances; one leading to the highly practical utility/boot room, whilst the other invites you into the high impact, open-plan reception with a dose of natural light - drawing ones eye toward the stunning kitchen.
Fine cabinetry is topped with solid oak, and the show-stopping central island is awash with reams of natural light via the fully glazed ceiling and double doors leading to the sun terrace. The stone tiled floor of the kitchen gives way to the warmth of engineered oak flooring for the dining and living area, creating a softer an embracing environment for unwinding.
Elsewhere on the ground floor, a versatile third bedroom would serve equally well as a study or snug, whilst the utility/boot room, along with the shower room, provides the essential practical needs to make the very best of an enviable countryside lifestyle.
The solid oak staircase leads you to the first floor, home to two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom delivers all the character and drama one could hope for from a historic and imposing bar. Exposed original timbers sit amongst the vaulted ceiling and provide a welcome window into the rich agricultural history of this building. Inspired use of space provides a shower room en-suite, whilst imaginative architecture bring memorable personality to the principal suite with a galleried section serving as an idyllic study, or even a reading corner to settle in with a good book in a quiet corner of the home and enjoy the tranquillity of the setting.
The second bedroom is a large double and is well-served by the central family bathroom, enjoying every bit as much well-balanced luxury as found throughout the rest of the home.
The barn sits proudly in the centre of its plot, with a generous frontage providing not only parking, but also an enclosed courtyard garden bordered by an attractive wall and estate railing, whilst the paved terrace invites you toward the front door.
The rear garden tells stories of being a wonderfully functional, peaceful and happy space, with the sprawling dining terrace comfortably large enough to entertain and create memories of long evenings with good friends, whilst the lawn provides a softer space for both the young and old to enjoy under the watch of mature trees. No less than two timber frame outbuildings bring yet further functionality to an already impressive plot.
BRANDISTON Called Brantestuna in the Dooms Day book, Brandiston is a tiny but pretty village close to the market town of Reepham, within easy commuting distance of Norwich and only a few miles from the beautiful north Norfolk coast. Located in a rural position, close to Marriotts Way, a trail of former railway trackbed, Brandiston is ideally situated for walking and cycling. The north Norfolk coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its miles of uninterrupted beaches to enjoy.
The award-winning Ratcatchers public house at Cawston is less than a mile away. There is a local shop in Cawston and a full range of shops, schools and services in Reepham, where pretty streets and lanes are lined by quaint cottages and handsome Georgian buildings. Reepham has held its 'market town' status since 1277, continuing to hold a market in the square every Wednesday.
The town has a highly regarded primary school and an 'outstanding' secondary school with an adjoining sixth form college. In the town there is a large park with a wide range of facilities including an adventure playground and public tennis courts. According to legend the town once had three churches, built by three sisters - as depicted on the town sign -although the remains of only one are present today and St Mary's is the single parish church.
The market town of Aylsham is a short drive away, and offers a wide selection of amenities, and the nearby Georgian town of Holt enjoys a wide variety of shops, restaurants, galleries and individual boutiques, as well as the highly regarded Gresham's School. The Cathedral City of Norwich is approximately half an hour by car and offers access to all the major rail links and Norwich International Airport.
