The StreetBooton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR10 4NT

Town Farm, a Grade II listed barn conversion, just to the east of the market town of Reepham, is more than a home. Alongside a substantial principal barn, with its south west facing gardens, you have two further converted barns bringing in a useful income or providing the opportunity for multi-generation living. There is tremendous scope to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Converted by the current custodians, who have lived here happily for over 40 years, the principal barn is light, airy and spacious. There are areas that would benefit from updating, but there is an overriding homely feel with the barn kept in good order since conversion. The design followed a farmhouse brief with a mix of traditional rooms and open plan living, which is effective in creating spaces for everyone to enjoy.

A double height entrance hall is a warm welcome, with full height glazing, leading off the dining room, a comfortable living room with open fireplace, and a further reception room well used as a sitting/dining room next to the kitchen. The kitchen is very much one you would find in a farmhouse, with rustic cabinetry and Aga, and is conveniently next to the utility room. The accommodation continues with a study, and then a lovely garden room, with floor to ceiling glazing and glazed doors out to the garden.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to all bedrooms. There are five bedrooms in total, with two bathrooms at either end of the house, and plenty of storage with built in wardrobes and store rooms.

A wing from the west of the house hosts a self-contained annexe. This comprises a kitchen/living room, a bedroom and a shower room. It is an asset to the house providing guest overflow rooms or somewhere for an elderly relative.

Cottages
Within the grounds of Town Farm are a pair of traditional single storey barns, converted to create two self-contained dwellings complete with private parking and gardens. Both barns are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, but could be used for holiday lets or in many other ways to fulfil personal requirements.

The barns are identical in layout. At the front, and south facing, is a living room, entrance hall and two bedrooms, one of which is en suite. At the back of the barn is the kitchen, a bathroom and a further bedroom/reception room. There is good ceiling height for a building of this nature.

Gardens and Grounds
A gravelled driveway sweeps up to the house, to an expansive gravelled parking and turning area which continues to loop round an area of lawn, and back to the road, so effectively an in and out drive. The drive also continues to the back of the principal barn, with further parking, four bay car port and garage. These are in a rear courtyard, part of which is paved to create a delightfully sheltered seating area, a real sun trap with a east and south aspect.

The main gardens are to the west of the barn, and have been established to create a charming backdrop. Well stocked herbaceous beds, kitchen garden, gravel garden, shrubs and sweeping lawns all help to provide interest, colour and relaxing areas to sit and enjoy. A summer house gives a good view back to the house, as does an area paved with Norfolk pamments, it is a garden that’s a joy to be in.
