The Property
Farrows Farm is a highly individual detached barn conversion with single storey accommodation extending to approximately 3000 sqft. Converted around 10 years ago, this traditional Norfolk barn is nestled within its mature plot, offering the ultimate country lifestyle. The barn is sympathetically laid out with the potential for dual occupation to the east end of the barn. Character and period charm flows throughout the barn with exposed brickwork, beams, vaulted ceilings and fireplaces.
The heart of the barn is arranged around the central dining hall and adjacent sitting room. Being a traditional Norfolk barn the rooms are predominately one room deep, being dual aspect with views to north & south elevations. To the westerly end of the barn you will find the three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. At the east end of the barn is the self contained annexe complex named 'Five Oaks' which has an interconnecting door from the main residence. The layout of the annexe could be suitable for dual occupation from the main barn. The annexe provides the following accommodation: hall, large sitting room, kitchen, utility, garden room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside
In all, the land accompanying Farrows Farm extends to 5.5 acres (sts). Of the total acreage, 4 acres are used as paddocks and grazing, being split into three separate paddocks. Access to the largest 2.3 acre paddock is via a right of way over neighbouring farm land. There is an extensive range of outbuildings and stabling, with a central courtyard comprising 11 stables, a hay store, garage/workshop and a pony box. Located in one of the paddocks is a large field shelter. At the rear of the barn are the formal gardens with productive fruit trees, mature hedging, formal lawns and a summerhouse. Situated to the corner of the plot are two ponds which offer a real haven for wildlife.
