Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold

North Barn is a former agricultural outbuilding of Cannister Hall which has been sympathetically converted to provide an attractive and well presented barn conversion with open joists and pine floorboards, substantial beams to vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls.  The accommodation comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a landing upstairs leading to 2 good-sized double bedrooms and a bathroom. The property further benefits from UPVC double-glazed windows throughout and traditional ledge and brace internal doors.

North Barn is situated on a complex of similarly converted buildings and is being offered to the market on a 125 year leasehold basis with 107 years left to run.  The property must be purchased as a second home and can only be occupied for 48 weeks of the year and a service charge applies (£1,613.26 for the period from 1st October to 31st March 2024 plus buildings insurance).  This covers the use and maintenance of the extensive shared facilities including, on site, a detached indoor swimming pool, games room and laundry room plus TV licence, water rates and emptying of the septic tank.  There is designated parking close to the property and to the east a lawned garden for shared use.

The current owners have let the property out as a holiday cottage during periods when they have not used it themselves and the furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

North Barn is being offered for sale with no onward chain.



Toftrees is a small rural hamlet with a village church with evidence that there has been a settlement here since Roman times with an entry in the Domesday Book of 1086.  The market town of Fakenham is approximately 2 miles away and is often referred to as the “gateway” to North Norfolk. On the banks of the River Wensum and nestling between the historic city of Norwich and the medieval port of King’s Lynn, Fakenham is also only a short drive to the beautiful north Norfolk coastline some 11 miles away.  Once renowned for its successful printing industry, Fakenham is now better known for Norfolk’s only national hunt racecourse and its popular weekly markets, flea market and saleroom. People come from far and wide on market and race days transforming the central marketplace.

Fakenham boasts several supermarkets, library, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries, a good selection of restaurants, bowling alley, cinema and infants’, junior and high school with 6th form college.  Surrounding areas are all well serviced by bus routes with direct rail links to Cambridge and London from King’s Lynn and Norwich.



Mains water, private drainage and mains electricity.  Electric storage heating.  EPC Rating Band D.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 22, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
