House For Sale £1,450,000
An exceptional barn of light and space, with contemporary style and elegance with open views over private gardens.
Description
Toho Barn is an exceptional conversion of a steel frame barn, with the focus on copious amounts of natural light, clean edges, great views, and a functionality. The contrast of style with the zinc cladding and glazing amongst rural surrounding and traditional neighbours of clay pantiles, is highly appealing particularly when combined with the privacy enjoyed amongst the landscaped gardens.
The accommodation is immediately impressive. You are welcomed by an expansive space of about 10m x 8m, with striking staircase, fireplace and the stunning kitchen as focal points. This initial open plan area, the entire width of which has floor to ceiling glazing, has been cleverly arranged. A substantial kitchen space has a great style to it, with clean lines, LED lighting and a large island unit. A dining space is immediately adjoining, and a seating area next to the Danish woodburner for more cosy evenings. This area is part open plan to the sitting room, with the emphasis once again on space. Beyond the open plan areas is a conventional layout of a study, a boot room, useful utility and WC.
The statement staircase, with glass balustrades, leads up to a central landing leading to all bedrooms and to a balcony providing outstanding views of the sunset. The principal bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en suite contemporary shower room and a large dressing room, that could also be spacious dressing room that could be utilised as a further bedroom/nursery. The second bedroom is of a similar scale, with a dressing area and en suite shower room, with a further two double bedrooms, both with en suites.
The house has a real feeling of quality, with a high standard of finish and design throughout.
Garden and grounds
The entrance to Toho Barn is through a modern electric gate, onto a driveway sweeping through the grounds to the parking and turning area adjoining the house, and leading to the car port and garaging.
The gardens have been wonderfully landscaped by the current owners, to compliment the quality of the house. Wrought iron park fencing help divide the one acre of grounds into distinct areas to enjoy. Immediately adjoining the house, on one seamless level from inside to out, is a substantial paved terrace, perfect for outside dining and entertaining with a west facing aspect. The majority of the land is laid to lawn, with an assortment of specimen trees dotted throughout the land that stretches away to a woodland on the northern boundary. Within the grounds is a cedar clad and glazed garden room/studio, a brilliant space that could be utilised in many ways.
Location
Toho Barn is located in the village of Brandiston, conveniently located between Norwich and Reepham. The latter is a charming rural town with a weekly market that was established in 1277. The distinctive market square is host to antiques fairs, and is the focal point of the town with the imposing Dial House Restaurant, a delicatessen and butchers, public house, florist, gift shops, antique shops and post office. Beyond the market place is a Co-op & Spar, further antique shops, news agent, health care centre and cafes including the Railway Station, on the edge of the Marriots Way, a public owned 26 mile long disused railway between Norwich and Aylsham, providing excellent walks. The town has become renowned for its state education, with a highly regarded primary school, and an ‘outstanding’ secondary school with sixth form college.
The ever popular town of Holt is about 13 miles and is famous as the home of Gresham’s Public School as well as for its excellent independent shops and restaurants. The town of Aylsham is about seven miles and also has a lovely market square, with the national trust owned Blickling Estate to the north-west of the town. There are also excellent shopping facilities.
The cathedral city and regional centre of Norwich is about 10 miles, with excellent retail, education and culture alongside a main line train service to London Liverpool street. The North Norfolk Coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves and sailing facilities is about three miles to the north of Holt.
