Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this stylishly presented and characterful single storey barn, situated within an exclusive development of similar high-quality properties in an idyllic rural setting, just a 10-minute drive from the centre of Norwich. The barn provides bright and comfortable living space, with a high specification of internal finish; along with delightful gardens and a separate paddock, both of which have become a haven for local wildlife.

Manor Farm Barns was an award-winning development when the site was originally converted from agricultural buildings back in 2007 and has developed into a friendly and welcoming community of five prestigious homes. This barn's unique appeal is the fusion of the contemporary and the traditional, conjuring an atmosphere of both cosiness and luxury. The orientation of the building means the rooms are filled with natural light throughout the day, with expanses of glazing on both elevations which also provide a pleasant aspect over the gardens.

The spacious open-plan living area is a great space for socialising, with the kitchen, dining and seating areas flowing seamlessly into one another, with vaulted ceilings and a wood burning stove providing a focal point at one end of the room. The solid oak kitchen has a quality feel with granite work surfaces and has been designed to suit a keen chef, with functional zones planned around the integrated appliances and range cooker. There is also a separate utility room with a door out to the garden.

The bedroom accommodation comprises three generous double rooms arranged around an inner hall, along with a neatly-appointed bathroom. The master room enjoys the luxury of an en-suite with spa bath and shower. Throughout the accommodation there are various character features on display, all of which are complemented by more modern fixtures and fittings and bespoke oak joinery. In all, the floor area extends to a little over 1,700 square feet, including the garage.

OUTSIDE
The grounds have been transformed by the current owners, who have invested huge amounts of time and thought into developing the garden since 2016. The colourful garden offers various sun traps and shady retreats, with seating areas and a wildlife pond along with a patio and summer house, which is equipped with an electrical power supply.

The paddock is a delightful escape for anyone who loves to be outdoors. A vegetable garden at the nearest end offers the convenience to just ‘pick’ what is wanted to cook with, alongside a small orchard with a variety of established fruit trees, including cooking and desert apples, pears, cherries and plums. In recent years these have been added to with other varieties of fruit.

In 2019 the current owner began a rewilding process in the paddock, creating a meadow that runs throughout the orchard which from May to July is incredible to see. An abundance of wild flowers provide a sea of colour, as oxeye daisies blend in with other native wildflowers including corn chamomile, field scabious, poppies, knapweed, yarrow, cornflowers and selfheal. There are around a dozen bee orchids in there too. A small copse of native trees has been planted at the bottom of the meadow as part of the rewilding.

The rewilding has helped to attract a variety of wildlife and there are always different varieties of birds that nest each year. Butterfly and bee-friendly planting brings in a wide range of species too.

At the front of the barns there is a central garage block, with one garage allocated to each barn. The garage is larger than average and has two work benches, one of which is fitted with a vice, making it an ideal workshop space, alongside being fully fitted with electrics and lighting. The loft area is boarded out to provide useful additional storage.

LOCATION
Manor Farm Barns enjoys a private and rural setting on the outskirts of Norwich, which is within striking distance of the A11 and A47. The location is within easy reach of the city centre, a 5-minute drive from the UEA and within walking distance of the N&N Hospital. The village has a Primary School (rated as Outstanding in the most recent OFSTED report), a thriving pub, an active village hall, playing field and tennis courts. The village also offers a recently refurbished and well stocked convenience store that is open 7 days a week.

SERVICES
The property is connected to a private LPG supply with a brand-new category A, high-efficiency boiler which provides underfloor heating throughout the barn. All of the barns are served by a private water bore hole which supplies superb quality water.
The property is also fully alarmed and has a water softener installed.
