SITUATION Meadowsweet Barn holds a prime position on a quiet road in the sought after village of Old Buckenham. To the front of the barn is the green which is renowned for being one of the largest village greens in England.
Old Buckenham is a traditional rural village offering a fantastic variety of local amenities. From the property you can easily walk to the village shop and post office and to either the Ox & Plough public house or to The Gamekeeper for a lovely meal or to enjoy some drinks in their outdoor gardens.

Located a short distance away is Old Buckenham Country Park which is a popular attraction for those wishing to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside and get in touch with nature and wildlife. There is a licensed café on site and at weekends you can enjoy delicious street food. The park also offers holiday lodges, glamping and camping along with a children's play park and cycle hire making it ideal for a family day out or a longer stay.
In addition to this, there are some fantastic walks around the village, whether you are walking your four-legged friends across the village green or wanting to join in with one of the local Rambler groups.
With so much to enjoy on your doorstep, this home truly is a wonderful place to live.
DESCRIPTION Meadowsweet Barn dates back to circa 1760 and was once used for agricultural purposes. Having been converted by the present owners in 1998 and beautifully renovated, the property now offers a substantial family home.
Much care and attention has gone into the refurbishment to sympathetically restore the barn using reclaimed materials such as solid wood floorboards from an old church, brick flooring, treated oak beams and pine ledge and brace internal doors. A fabulous feature is the bespoke staircase designed by the current owners and being made from reclaimed pine.
The barn benefits from a recently installed oil fired central heating boiler with the ground floor having underfloor heating and cast iron radiators upstairs. The windows and doors are bespoke oak double glazed sealed units with bronze tint.
The accommodation has been well laid out with the ground floor offering an entrance porch, utility room and boot room, kitchen, open plan sitting room/dining room, study, main bedroom with ensuite and further reception room/bedroom and family bathroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and shower room.
Externally the property benefits from ample off road parking on a gated driveway enclosed by brick wall and fencing with a gate leading to the rear garden. The garden is split into two parts, with one part having a lovely lawned area with a mixture of mature trees and shrubs and a patio with space for table and chairs ideal for outside entertaining. There is a patio path to the front door giving access to the entrance porch.
A side gate leads to the other part of the garden which has been carefully landscaped with lawn and shingle and features a pond. This is a lovely spot to sit back and relax and take in the delightful views of the village church.
