1 bedroom barn conversion for sale

Having been warmly christened Champagne Jennie, this fabulous one-bedroom barn conversion is chic and exciting, yet at the same time both welcoming and generous.

Step into the enclosed porch, shake off your muddy wellies or sandy shoes, hang up your jacket and hat and then walk through into the open plan living space. From the moment you step foot, you can feel the warmth afforded by the underfloor heating.

A room divided into three distinct spaces, the sleek kitchen gifts views over the mews to the front and has open-sided shelving to the other side allowing sight through. There is a sweet little dining space which is perfect for two and then the seating area which practically demands for you to cosy up and enjoy time with a loved one.

The generous super king-sized bedroom suite encompasses almost the same space as the living area is, meaning a bed of this size looks completely at home. Perfectly matching this largeness is the en-suite bathroom with its sumptuous roll top bath, large shower cubicle and hand basin, a perfect space to unwind.

Step outside and follow the paving around the side and along the pleached hedge line to the back to where there is a delightful and very private patio garden with ample space to enjoy a barbecue and watch the sun sink down in the west. There is also a parking space with EV charger.

Champagne Jennie was christened first and then dressed and decorated to perfectly emulate its flamboyant name. Once a single story barn, she's now an elegant and popular holiday let and could continue as such, or be the perfect 'lock-up and leave' bolthole, on the Norfolk coast. 

DOCKING Docking is arguably one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea yet a comfortable breeze away from the coastal crowds in the heat of summer, and within a comfortable drive of the market towns of Fakenham and elegant Holt.

Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272ft and was once known as 'Dry Docking', because of its lack of drinking water. A well was sunk in the village in the 18th century and residents paid a farthing per bucket until a mains supply was installed in 1936. The small village played a key role in World War II when the RAF Docking airfield operated between 1940-1958, and nearby Docking Hall housed serving actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy and Warren Mitchell during this time.

Today, a strong village community exists and Docking has a thriving nursery and primary school, and the heart-warming sound of young children enjoying playtime often echoes in the surrounding streets, as it has for centuries. Well-serviced, Docking also has a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court and bowling green, along with a popular fish and chip shop and good local, The Railway Inn.

Buyers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of property including traditional, brick and flint and whitewashed cottages, classic Georgian houses and a growing range of quality new-build homes. One of the latest additions is Four Miles, so called for its short distance from the coastline at Thornham and Brancaster, which offers a range of quality cottages, barns and apartments on generous plots, sympathetically designed to fit in with their country location.

You may be inspired to try your hand at The Good Life and grow your own, but if you lack a green thumb try the weekly farmer's market at the village's Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with super-fresh produce from local smallholders and jars and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.

Offering the best of coast and country, it's easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
