House For Sale £750,000
The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Priory Barn, a spacious and beautifully refurbished barn conversion, situated within walking distance of a range of amenities in the historic centre of Litcham. The property has undergone an extensive programme of improvement in recent years, resulting in a truly individual home which has been finished to the highest of standards. The barn provides versatile accommodation over two floors, as well as a private south-west facing garden, a gated driveway and an attached brick and flint barn/workshop.
The recent schedule of improvements made to the property include a new roof, re-pointing to much of the original brick and flint work, internal insulation of the walls and the installation of new aluminium doors and windows. The property has also had a full electrical re-wire and a newly installed oil-fired central heating system. Other features include bespoke joinery in the hall and kitchen, as well as a high-quality fitted kitchen, new flooring and full re-decoration throughout.
ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the impressive reception hall, with 2-storey vaulted ceilings and an expanse of glazing on the front wall with fitted plantation shutters. The hall also houses a bespoke handmade storage unit with space for boots, coats and shoes, as well as a carpeted staircase which rises to the first floor.
The superb kitchen/dining room is a stunning feature, with an extensive collection of fitted units around two walls, under quartz work surfaces which incorporate a Belfast sink and a free-standing range cooker. Other integrated appliances include a full height fridge and freezer, and a dishwasher. Another bespoke storage unit extends the full width of one wall, with a bench seat and coat storage alongside the rear door which opens ion from the garden. A double width utility cupboard houses a further range of fitted units and shelving, along with plumbing/space for a washing machine and tumble drier.
The family sitting room is another well-proportioned and characterful room, measuring almost 30ft in length, with a wood burning stove serving as the main focal point and with bi-folding doors opening to the garden. There is also a ground floor cloakroom with an inner door into the plant room.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms arranged either side of the versatile galleried landing area, which is used as a first-floor living room or snug, with large expanses of glazing to two sides. The master bedroom is a spacious double room with a range of fitted wardrobes and a stylishly appointed en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 also enjoys the luxury of an en-suite shower room, whilst bedrooms 3 and 4 are served by a beautifully appointed 4-piece family bathroom.
The adjoining barn provides an extra dimension to the property, having been re-roofed and repaired, it is a perfect workshop or storage building; but also offers great potential to add to the living space of the barn if required. The current owners have previously considered using the barn to create a 2-storey 2-bedroom annexe, or indeed to knock through and create significantly more floor space in the main house.
OUTSIDE
Vehicle access to the property is at the rear of the barn, with a timber gate opening onto a private block-paved driveway, which can comfortably accommodate four vehicles and leads to a pir of double doors at the rear of the barn. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, with a sunny south-west facing orientation.
