Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this delightfully converted barn, occupying a pleasant rural location on the outskirts of the pretty mid-Norfolk village of Beeston. The barn enjoys a well-planned and versatile lay-out, with the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area serving as the central hub alongside the cosy sitting room where there is a wood burning stove. The main bedroom accommodation is located on the first floor, with two additional rooms (listed as bedrooms 3 & 4) arranged around an inner hall on the ground floor where there is also a well-appointed bathroom. The accommodation is completed by the entrance porch, laundry room, en-suite to the master bedroom and a useful extra reception room, which would make an ideal study, snug or even a guest bedroom. Outside, there is a shingle driveway leading to the front of the single garage, a paved courtyard garden and a section of neatly maintained lawn. The conversion was carried out by a highly regarded local developer in 2008, with the greatest attention being paid to the quality of finish whilst retaining the authentic charm of the original building. For instance, the contemporary style of the kitchen/dining room, with gloss fronted units and granite work surfaces, is complemented by the exposed brick and timber work. The barn is situated within a complex of similar style properties and is only a stone's throw from miles of scenic country walks. No Chain. 

BEESTON Beeston is a conveniently situated small village, close to the A47, but set back far enough for a quiet location. Its close proximity to the A47 gives easy access to Dereham, Norwich and Swaffham. There are rail links to London and Cambridge from Norwich, and an airport. Beeston has a pleasant community, a good public house, and small primary school.
