Property description

This historic barn was used for agricultural storage until the early 1990s when it was converted into a superior family home by local craftsmen using traditional materials including a wealth of exposed timbers. It once served a farmhouse that was razed to the ground forty or fifty years ago.



The dwelling faces south towards a County Wildlife Site comprising Old Decoy Plantation, an attractive mixed woodland where deer cross and the fishing lake called Selbrigg Pond beyond. A footpath then leads southwards to Hempstead and Baconsthorpe and another one leads northwards through Bodham Common and Hundred Acre Wood around High Kelling to Kelling Heath. Here the headwaters of the river Glaven run through undulating arable and wooded countryside in a tranquil backwater that is only a short drive from Holt with its excellent facilities and the coast with its attendant attractions.

AGENTS' NOTE The original planning permission dated 12th October 1989 (NNDC ref. 01891842F) required that the occupier of Hurricane Farm Barn should be employed full time in the workshops.



The workshops were converted into further residential accommodation in the 1990s and have always been used as such. The current owners have made an application for a Lawful Development Certificate for Existing Use to regularize these arrangements in accordance with current planning policies.
