Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this exciting opportunity to purchase and develop this attractive unconverted barn set within mature grounds of around half an acre. Full Planning Permission has been granted for the scheme, for further details please contact our office or visit the Breckland Council planning website, using the reference: 3PL/2013/1215/F.



The body of the existing barn is intended to be retained, with an additional floor being added above and new single storey extensions projecting from both existing gable walls. In brief, the designed accommodation comprises three bedrooms, open-plan living area, kitchen/breakfast room, study and three bath or shower rooms.



The west facing grounds to the front of the barn are laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, whilst there is also a courtyard garden at the rear. Work is currently being undertaken to create an independent driveway in from the quiet lane, which is planned to sweep around to the side of the barn where there is space to construct a garage or cart shed (pending the necessary consents).  

YAXHAM The village of Yaxham is situated approximately three miles south of the market town of Dereham and about two miles from the nearest Tesco supermarket. The village provides local amenities including Yaxham Mill public house and restaurant, Yaxham Waters farm shop and tea room, and a primary school. Further amenities can be found at the nearby town of Dereham. Modern shops merge comfortably into a heritage dating back to the 10th century when Withburga, daughter of a Saxon king, established a religious community in the deer park, which gave the town its name. Free parking allows you time to stroll around seeking out the restaurants and cafes or for an afternoon shop. There are museums, a leisure centre, golf course and schools within the town, or for the nature lovers take a stroll along the Neatherd Moor and the Vicarage Meadow. Slightly further afield are the ruins of the Saxon Cathedral at North Elmham, the wildlife and Dinosaur Parks, Pensthorpe, a bird lovers paradise and Thetford Forest Park. Norwich has good local transport links with the town and has an international airport and a mainline rail link to Liverpool Street, London, being approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes away. Downham Market approximately 40 minutes&146; drive away, provides mainline rail link to Cambridge and King's Cross/St Pancras, London.
