Shereford Barn Shereford

A substantial, well-appointed barn conversion (c. 2008) in 2.1 acres adjoining open farmland

SHEREFORD BARN TOFTREES ROAD, SHEREFORD, , NR21 7DF

SHEREFORD BARN is an imposing, detached barn of over 5100 sq ft with generously proportioned, versatile accommodation standing in grounds of over 2 acres surrounded by arable farmland.

The property was converted in 2008 by well-respected local builders, Fishers of Fakenham. The specification and finish is of a high standard and retains much of the original character and charm of the building including high ceilings with exposed timbers and A-frames. Additional features include oak and limestone flooring, double glazed windows, oak internal doors, a kitchen fitted with quality cabinets and an AGA, wood-burning stoves and oil-fired central heating with underfloor heating to the majority of the ground floor.

The accommodation comprises, briefly, of an entrance hall, boot room, utility room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room, play room and office suite on the ground floor. The principal reception rooms benefit from glazed doors opening onto the gardens and surrounding terrace. On the first floor is a galleried landing, a master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, two additional en-suite bedrooms, a bathroom and a further bedroom. Most of the rooms enjoy far-reaching rural views.

A private driveway leads to a triple garage with a further six-bay open cart lodge. The gardens, which are largely south-facing and enclosed include a substantial flagstone terrace and children’s play area all enclosed by post and rail fencing and mature hedging. The site amounts to 2.1 acres (S.T.S.); additional land may be available by separate negotiation.

SHEREFORD is a rural hamlet situated approximately 2 miles west of Fakenham. There is a flint, round- towered Norman church which is visible from the property. Day-to-day services and facilities are available in the market town of Fakenham, while Wells-Next-The-Sea, a pretty harbour town on the coast, lies just 11 miles to the north.

The surrounding countryside forms part of the Raynham Estate. Guide: £950,000 (Freehold) Ref: BUR130261 (13.06.15.)
