White House Farm Barns, Old Norwich Road, IP23

Now at an advanced stage of conversion, The Granary is an impressive character home extending to approximately 1,523 sq. ft., set within a generous 0.38-acre plot and forming part of an exclusive collection of individually converted properties at White House Farm Barns.

With works progressing well, there is currently an exciting opportunity for an early purchaser to have input into elements of the final specification, allowing them to put their own stamp on the property before completion.

The conversion has been carefully considered to retain and celebrate the character of the original building. Exposed brickwork, substantial original timbers and feature beams sit alongside contemporary finishes, aluminium windows and doors and underfloor heating to the ground floor, creating a home which combines the individuality of a character property with the benefits of a comprehensive modern conversion.

Set along a no-through road with no passing traffic, the property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining well placed for access to Eye, Diss and the A140, making it particularly appealing for those wanting a rural environment without feeling isolated.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming double-aspect entrance hall, providing an impressive introduction to the property and connecting the principal ground-floor rooms.

At the heart of the home is the particularly generous kitchen/diner, measuring approximately 25'7" x 12'0" (7.79m x 3.65m). Designed as a genuine everyday living and entertaining space, the room will combine a contemporary fitted kitchen with ample room for a substantial dining table. Exposed brickwork and character detailing bring warmth to the interior, while aluminium bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, creating a superb connection between the internal and external spaces and an excellent setting for entertaining during the warmer months.

A separate utility room keeps the practical elements of day-to-day living away from the main kitchen.

The lounge, approximately 15'8" x 15'11" (4.77m x 4.86m), provides a substantial yet more intimate reception room, with plenty of space for comfortable seating and generous natural light.

A further room measuring approximately 10'8" x 9'5" (3.26m x 2.87m) provides considerable flexibility. Ideally suited as a home office, it could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, snug or playroom, depending upon the requirements of the purchaser.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a WC/shower room, adding further practicality and complementing the potential use of the office as occasional bedroom accommodation.

The first floor continues the blend of character and contemporary design, with exposed structural timbers and beams incorporated throughout.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room measuring approximately 16'2" x 10'2" (4.94m x 3.11m) and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

There are two further bedrooms, including an impressive second bedroom measuring approximately 16'10" x 8'7" (5.14m x 2.62m), together with a third bedroom and a separate family bathroom.

Outside is where The Granary has another significant advantage. Occupying an overall plot of approximately 0.38 acres, the property offers a level of outside space rarely associated with barn conversions. The large established garden, with mature trees and hedging, creates a particularly attractive setting and gives the property an excellent sense of space and privacy.

The garden provides considerable opportunity for purchasers to create distinct areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, with the patio immediately accessible from the kitchen/diner via the bi-fold doors.

Parking is complemented by a double cart lodge, comprising one open bay and one enclosed bay, providing useful covered parking together with secure garaging or storage.

The Granary represents a rare opportunity to acquire a character home without taking on the uncertainty and work associated with undertaking the conversion yourself. Much of the hard work has already been completed, while the current stage of the project provides an early purchaser with the opportunity to have input into elements of the final specification and finishes.

With approximately 1,523 sq. ft. of accommodation, a 0.38-acre plot, superb kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors, separate lounge, flexible office/fourth bedroom, three first-floor bedrooms, large mature garden, double cart lodge and peaceful no-through-road setting, The Granary offers an excellent combination of character, space and contemporary living.

The conversion is now at an advanced stage and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale of the accommodation, the character being retained and the quality of the finished home.
