Barnwell is a property of exceptional quality. A wonderful collection of a fine principal house, a self-contained annexe, barn, garaging, studio, and charming gardens, this is a lifestyle home that can evolve and adapt to many living styles. Furthermore, Barnwell is presented to the market in excellent order, with the current custodian’s consistent investment during their ownership providing a property in it’s prime, with all the foundations for the next owner to simply enjoy.

The house is a fine example of a village home. Space, light and comfort are a given throughout, alongside plenty of character and well-presented interiors, with open plan areas together with cosy rooms. At the heart of it all is an outstanding kitchen/living area/dining room, with vaulted ceilings and quadruple aspect allowing for plenty of natural light. At one end of the 35 feet long room is the kitchen, with obvious quality thanks to cabinetry by Neptune, thick oak and granite worktops, a large central island with breakfast bar, 4 oven electric Aga (with efficiency aided by the new Solar PV system), and integrated Siemens and Fisher Paykel appliances. The kitchen is a stylish and practical backdrop to the living area in the centre of the room, whilst a dining area is at the opposite end. Glazed doors lead directly out to the south facing terrace.

Throughout the house there are wide corridors linking all the main rooms. A charming living room has a grand farmhouse feel, with feature fireplace with modern woodburner, bespoke shelving unit, and glazed doors to the south facing gardens. A central reception room currently used as a family room, provides great flexibility for future use. A future proof asset to the house is a spacious double bedroom, cleverly positioned to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main living areas, with built in wardrobes and en suite shower room. Completing the ground floor is a downstairs WC and all-important boot room and utility, essential for country living.

The feeling of light and space is immediately apparent upstairs too, with a sitting room that benefits from tall and wide windows in a feature gable, providing the most wonderful views over neighbouring meadowland and for miles across Norfolk countryside. A principal bedroom is off this, a spacious room with double aspect, and plenty of built in wardrobes and well fitted en suite bath/shower room. The second bedroom is another fine double bedroom, with built in wardrobes and en suite shower room, with a further two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

During the current ownership, the improvements have ranged from structural upgrades and maintenance to the recent addition of a high tech solar PV, with battery storage, making this a house of scale with excellent cost efficiency.

Annexe, barn and outbuildings
The property is the beneficiary of a brilliant range of additional buildings to the main house, making for excellent adaptability and lifestyle attributes. The annexe, a traditional brick and flint building, comprises a spacious open plan area as a bedroom/living are/kitchenette with triple aspect, and en suite shower room. Whilst currently arranged as an annexe, if could easily become a wellness area, gym, expansive studio or perhaps a little more nuanced such as golf simulator.

The barn, another attractive brick and flint building with vaulted ceilings, is complete with a shower room and could therefore be utilised in many different ways, much like the annexe. Both buildings have their own electric heating and both are in excellent condition.

A purpose built triple garage sits to the east of the expansive parking and turning area. Oak frame and solid brick, under a pantile roof, the garaging include oak panel doors and electric roller doors, with stairs up to a studio above the garage, with WC and velux windows providing good natural light – an ideal work from home space or perhaps a model railway. The garage includes an EV charger.

A distinctive set of electric oak gates, between pretty flint walls, opens to the gravelled parking and turning area, with space for many cars and boats.
