Rural barn with lapsed planning consent for full residential conversion (currently being reapplied for) set in about 1.7 acre.
Cherry Tree Barn is a wonderfully rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached barn, in a delightful pocket of unspoilt countryside, between the popular town of Reepham and the charming village of Heydon.
Set off a quiet country lane, with private access, the property had full planning consent to convert the existing Norfolk Barn to a five/six bedroom home, creating a home of circa 5000 sq feet of living space. This lapsed in early 2024, and is currently being reapplied for, following the exact granted consent previously held.
The heart of the conversion will be the open plan living/dining/kitchen area, partly double height, with plenty of natural light and provide a wonderful focal point to the Barn. Off the kitchen, continuing in an open plan style, will be a breakfast area and more informal sitting area. All useful rooms associated with country living will be provided for with separate boot room, utility and pantry with further rooms such as a morning room, mezzanine floor above the kitchen which could be used in many ways, and covered verandahs. The proposed accommodation as a whole has been thoughtfully arranged, with a conventional yet modern emphasis. The bedrooms will be grouped at one end of the barn, with a principal bedroom suite spread over the ground and first floor with dressing room, en suite and staircase up to the first floor bedroom. There will be two further en suite bedrooms and two more double bedrooms and family bathroom.
Outside
The barn is accessed via a private drive with an initial parking area, with the drive continuing to a further parking area adjoining the outbuilding and dwelling. The grounds extend to about 1 acre, and offer a blank canvas for landscaping with mature boundaries, a wooded area and a large courtyard.
Adjoining the main barn will be a covered games area, integral wood store, and plant room with a double car port and covered store.

I love this part of Norfolk. Heydon is a complete gem, and Reepham goes from strength to strength.
