"Living here gave us a much calmer, stress-free way of life, it's like living in a retreat."
You'll instantly be struck by the scale of the sitting room, a stunning space with exposed timbers, parquet flooring, and a focal central fireplace with wood-burning stove. The atmospheric dining room has a great deal of character and ambiance which suggests shared celebratory meals or long Sunday lunches.
The kitchen too has plenty of space for a central breakfast table, a sociable spot to sit whilst dinner is being prepared. It's a real cook's kitchen, incredibly practical whilst retaining the same serene style which flows through the home.
The study is a tranquil place to work in, filled with natural light and calming vistas over the garden. The fitted day-bed to one end creates the perfect 'zen den' for relaxing, reading or chatting. This can double as a king size bed, fantastic for guests. A bright, open space with vaulted ceiling, the garden room is a recent addition to the property. Perhaps the ideal playroom, cinema or gym, or throw open the french doors for some sun-bathed yoga…the possibilities are endless!
"The 'zen den' is one of our favourite spots in the house. We lie here and read books while sunlight floods the room."
A utility room and an elegant cloakroom with wet-room shower complete the ground floor.
Upstairs there's a lovely boutique feel. The principal bedroom is a calm retreat from the day's activities and its en-suite shower room feels relaxed and indulgent. Shared by three further bedrooms, the exquisite family bath and shower room, would be at home in a luxury spa.
Once part of the neighbouring farm, Manor Barn's grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres (STMS). To the front the sweeping lawn and wildlife-pond set the scene for privacy and tranquillity.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a sociable space with a variety of 'rooms'. Centred around a lawn with specimen trees, there's a raised dining terrace, two pergolas and a brand new hot tub, as well as a sauna, outdoor ice bath and shower. An external annexe with a shower and cloakroom is fantastic for guests, but also extremely useful as a home office. To the side, there is a secret garden with fruit trees, lawn and a cabin providing a further useful space, with kitchen, shower and cloakroom. A hidden spot, perfect for summertime entertaining.
COLTON The village of Colton is approximately 2 miles from the A47 and approximately 3 miles from the Longwater retail park where there is a Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer. Colton falls in to the catchment area for Wymondham High School and there is a bus service at the end of The Street. The market town of Wymondham is approximately 5 miles away and offers a railway station, day to day shops as well as a Waitrose.
The Cathedral City of Norwich is approximately 7 miles away and offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and boutiques. Its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies.
Named by The Times as the second best place to live in 2022, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK's most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, you'll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.
To the north of the city the University of East Anglia is a remarkable example of brutalist architecture, and the campus is also home to the Sainsbury centre, a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art, gifted by the Sainsbury family.
When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
This is a city that reveals itself the longer you stay - a city to fall in love with - a city to be a part of.
SERVICES CONNECTED Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil fired central heating.
