Ferry Road, Surlingham, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Set within approximately half an acre (stms) in the sought-after riverside village of Surlingham, Pottles Barn offers an exceptional amount of space and flexibility. The detached barn conversion provides six bedrooms in the principal home, while Pottles Cottage and Pottles Retreat are currently run as self-contained holiday lets. Together, they create an appealing opportunity to enjoy a substantial countryside home alongside an established source of income.

A five-bar gate opens onto an extensive shingle driveway, with ample parking and access to a double garage. The gardens give the property a wonderful sense of privacy and space, with broad lawns, mature trees, established planting and places to sit and take in the surroundings. Beyond the grounds, the outlook stretches across farmland towards the River Yare. Despite its peaceful position, Pottles Barn is around seven miles south-east of Norwich, with the Norfolk Broads and wider road network within easy reach.

The principal barn offers over 2500 sq ft of accommodation, arranged to suit a large family while retaining the versatility to adapt as needs change. The sitting room is an inviting place to gather, with a bay window and feature fireplace, while a separate dining room provides space for more formal occasions. The kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped for everyday life and has room for the household to come together around the table.

Four bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, including two with en-suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom with a walk-in shower room. A further bedroom occupies the first floor, benefitting from built-in storage. This arrangement offers considerable choice for family members, visiting guests or those looking for space to work from home.

The two holiday lets add another dimension to the property. Pottles Cottage has its own open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area, a double bedroom, a mezzanine bedroom and a shower room. Pottles Retreat is a charming open-plan log cabin offering cosy accommodation for two within the grounds. Both are currently operated as holiday lets, giving a purchaser the opportunity to continue an established venture, subject to their own plans and any necessary consents.

The current owners have also invested in solar panels, an air source heat pump and a water softener. These additions enhance the appeal of a property that already stands out for the scale of its accommodation, the breadth of its grounds and the possibilities offered by its two independent lets.

Surlingham is a particularly attractive base for enjoying this part of Norfolk. Riverside walks, the Wherryman’s Way and National Cycle Route 1 are close at hand, while the village has a primary school, farm shop, café, patisserie and two riverside pubs. Norwich is within easy reach, as are the Broads and the Norfolk coastline.

Pottles Barn brings together a sizeable family home, approximately half an acre of gardens, a beautiful rural outlook and two existing holiday lets in one of the area’s most desirable villages. Viewing is essential to appreciate the full extent of what is on offer.
