4 bedroom character property for sale

Nestled in the heart of Norfolk’s picturesque countryside, Barnside is a beautiful detached four-bedroom home that effortlessly combines classic architectural charm with modern living. The house exudes the character of a Victorian barn conversion from the outside, thanks to its timeless brick and flint exterior and traditional red pantile roof. Yet, despite its rustic appearance, Barnside is less than 30 years old, designed and built by a renowned Norfolk family of builders dedicated to creating homes that complement the local aesthetic.

Step inside, and you’ll discover a home that beautifully contrasts its exterior. The interior boasts sleek, contemporary finishes with a stylish kitchen, sophisticated wall colours, and modern bathrooms, offering a sharp yet welcoming contrast to the traditional rural facade. The large kitchen-dining room with its vaulted ceiling is the heart of the home, offering a spacious and airy space for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The design allows for an open and free-flowing connection to the living room, where double-width openings link the two spaces effortlessly. Both rooms feature sliding glass doors that open directly into the south and west-facing garden, making this an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings in the warmer months.

When winter rolls around, light the log burner and unwind after a cosy walk to the nearby village pub. The living spaces are perfect for both socialising and relaxing, offering the best of both worlds throughout the seasons.

Barnside’s four double bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind. While the smallest bedroom has often been used as a home office, the guest bedroom at the far end of the property benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, providing privacy and luxury for visitors.

The generous principal bedroom also enjoys its own large en-suite, creating a perfect retreat.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A gated entrance provides ample off-street parking, while the garden is deceptively large, completely private, and secure, offering a perfect space for family activities. At the end of the garden, a delightful summer house awaits, providing an ideal sanctuary for reading, painting, or simply enjoying some quiet time away from the bustle of family life.

Barnside truly is a home that blends the best of both worlds — timeless charm and modern luxury — making it an idyllic choice for anyone seeking a peaceful, stylish retreat in the heart of the North Norfolk countryside.
