2 bedroom barn conversion for sale

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer the unique opportunity to purchase this charming Grade II Listed former Coach House; situated in a peaceful location within the original grounds of Snettisham House, overlooking the main village of Snettisham and only a 10-minute walk away from the vibrant village centre. The Smithy has been a much loved and well used holiday retreat for the current owners for many years and would provide the perfect bolthole for a buyer seeking a base in a peaceful and rural setting, whether as a main residence or holiday home. The property displays a wealth of charm and character, both inside and out, as well as offering exceptional views over the surrounding countryside. The property forms the end section of the original Coach House and therefore benefits from front, side and rear gardens, as well as a gated driveway. We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain.

ACCOMMODATION

The main entrance to the property is via the hugely impressive front door which opens into the superb main living area, with 13ft ceilings and an arched window which looks out to the front. Other features include a brick-built fireplace housing a wood burning stove and a timber staircase which rises to the first floor. The kitchen comprises a collection of cream fronted storage units under fitted work surfaces, incorporating an integrated oven and hob, and plumbing/space for a washing machine. A stable door from the kitchen leads out to the garden room, which enjoys spectacular views over open countryside to the south. There is a door from the garden room opening out to the garden, which is generally used as the main entrance into the property. From the kitchen, there is an inner lobby with storage space and a door into the ground floor shower room. The spacious shower room has a curved wall and vaulted ceiling, with panels of carr stone on display.

On the half landing there is a neatly appointed bathroom with a roof light and a large storage cupboard. The stairs continue up to the main landing, where the beautifully views can be fully appreciated. The master bedroom is a generously sized double room with exposed brickwork and sloped ceilings (with limited head height in the corners of the room), with a dormer window to the front. The second bedroom is a more compact room, which has been used as a twin room and would also make a comfortable single room.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over the private driveway to Snettisham House, with a lawn in front of the building and gated access onto a private driveway at the side. The south-facing side garden is a wonderful feature, with steps up from the driveway on to a neatly maintained lawn, from where there is a stunning view over the neighbouring fields. An original archway leads through to the rear garden, which is full of mature planting and a tiered seating area.

LOCATION

Snettisham is a popular village approximately 5 miles south of Hunstanton and 10 miles north of the historic market town of King's Lynn. The village is known for its sense of community, with various clubs, groups and an active programme of events around the churches and village hall. The types of property in the village comprise a broad mixture of period cottages, farmhouses and more modern properties, along with a wide range of amenities. Within a short stroll of this property there are a variety of shops (including a new Co-op, bistro, hairdresser's and pharmacy), the award-winning Rose and Crown public house, primary school, doctor's surgery, vet's practice and builder's merchants. The village church is a striking feature of the landscape, with a 175ft tower and spire, thought to be one of the tallest in Norfolk. Opposite the village hall there are playing fields and a cricket pitch, which also hosts regular car boot sales and a farmer's market. An annual Victorian Christmas Fayre is held in the village square. Other local attractions include the nearby Royal Sandringham Estate, Norfolk Lavender and farm shop at Heacham, several wildlife areas (including RSPB reserves at Snettisham beach and Titchwell), the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, various golf courses, walks and sailing.
