3 So Much In Common A beautifully converted barn retaining a wealth of character, the accommodation here alone is enough to tempt. Add in the impressive gardens, paddocks and grazing on the common, plus idyllic rural views to the front and rear and it s clear this is somewhere truly special. This is a place with much to offer it s in the countryside but close to Diss and Norwich, so you have all amenities close by and it s also great for anyone who needs to travel frequently, either by rail or air. You re within walking distance of the village here so you can embrace all that the community has to offer or simply stroll to the pub for a quiet drink. The barn itself sits well back from the road with common land to the front and generous gardens to the rear, offering plenty of space for livestock or horses. It s thought to be at least 250 years old and has been converted carefully with a great care to make the most of the position, with views from every window giving you the opportunity to spot the abundant passing wildlife. Beautifully Finished During their time here the owners have put their own stamp on the property and carried out a number of improvements without compromising the glorious period character within. They have opened up several of the rooms to create larger areas that work well for entertaining and give the barn a real sense of space throughout. The kitchen was originally two smaller rooms, now a very impressive one with a solid oak floor and generous seating area that could easily accommodate a large family table. The dining room forms part of a new extension and is a magnificent space with a gorgeous oak frame. This offers superb views over the grounds and would work equally well as a second sitting room, or perhaps a playroom. A Most Desirable Position As soon as you approach this beautiful barn you can t help but admire the position and once inside the character that runs throughout the delightful conversion just increases its appeal, with plenty of period features to enjoy. The barn has character, warmth and homeliness throughout. It s a lovely relaxing place to live.

4 There s a ground floor bedroom and bathroom that would suit anyone with limited mobility or work well for guests, while upstairs the impressive master bedroom boasts a luxurious en-suite. The owners had new double glazing fitted throughout the barn in Everything they ve changed or added has been done to the highest standard, as befits a property of this calibre with such a feeling of comfort and quality. Green Fingers Keen gardeners, the owners have totally transformed the outside space here so much so that within seven years of moving here they had been invited to feature in the National Gardens Scheme Yellow Book a real achievement in such a short space of time. There s colour and interest throughout the year and the gardens beautifully enhance the surroundings of this lovely home. The owners have kept two retired horses here in recent years, giving them a home on the common land to the front of the property. If the new owner doesn t want to use this land, one of the neighbours will be happy to step in so there s an opportunity but no need for the land to be a burden if not required. This superb barn conversion has been sympathetically extended by the current owner to provide a bright and airy home with a brilliant view of the Wortham Common to the front and fields and paddocks to the rear. We understand from our clients that during their ownership they have acquired some common land to the front of the property for grazing. The restrictions to this land are that no permanent fence or structure be erected on it. The current owner used this land to graze their horses. The rear garden is a delight and has been painstakingly landscaped with a huge number of plants and specimen trees. The addition of a garden room or party room in the garden adds to the area and is ideal for summer gatherings As one enters the barn one is met by a spacious reception hall with space for occasional furniture. This room has a recently installed mezzanine floor above. The floor to ceiling glazing lets natural light flood in. The rustic brick floor gives a warm feel to this room and the stairs rises to the first floor. The cloakroom has a low level WC and wash hand basin. The cosy Sitting Room is a lovely relaxing area with redbrick fireplace with fitted wood burner and west facing windows overlooking the Common. Exposed timber work. The rear Dining Room is another recent addition as has a lovely oak frame at the rear with wide glazed section and French doors onto the charming patio and garden beyond. Return arch to the reception hall and door to ground floor bedroom. The ground floor bedroom is a comfortable double room with the En Suite at the rear with wash basin, low level WC and shower area. A front and side facing spacious kitchen diner is also located on the ground floor and has plenty of space for a formal table and chairs and a further space for sitting. The room is comprehensively fitted with a range of modern work surfaces with plenty of cupboards and drawers under and wall mounted cabinets above. The double Belfast sink is set into a wooden work surface and drainer. A small peninsular breakfast bar is located at one end to the room. The floor is solid oak floorboards. The Utility/Boot Room is situated adjacent to the Kitchen and has a sink unit with work surfaces and built on cabinets. The oil fired boiler is located within a built in cupboard. The floor in the utility room is cearmic tiles. The first floor has a recently installed mezzanine reception landing and this area provides a great space to work from home or a library area or just a place to relax perhaps with a book and take in the lovely view of the Common. A walk in dressing room is situated just off the landing and is fully fitted with a range of wardrobes with sliding doors built in both sides of the room. The Master Bedroom is a nice double room with great views of the Common and exposed timbers. There are also very useful built in wardrobe cupboards. The en suite bathroom is wonderful and has been recently replaced with an up to the minute white suite comprising large walk in shower, fully enclosed bath, wash basin, loo and heated towel rail.

5 This is a warm and welcoming community. There s plenty to do here including swimming at the farm over the road, tennis in the village, long country walks, a lovely pub and more.

6 The house sits well back from the road with grazing in front and paddocks behind so it s very private and peaceful.

7 We ve added plenty of storage as there wasn t much before. There are now built in wardrobes and lots of shelving, plus a walk-in closet that could even be used as a box room.

Bedroom Two is located at the back of the property and has wonderful views of the rear garden from the French doors which open onto the Juliette balcony. A family bathroom has a three piece suite.

9 Bedroom Two is located at the back of the property and has wonderful views of the rear garden from the French doors which open onto the Juliette balcony. A family bathroom has a three piece suite.

The driveway extends to the side of the property which in turn leads to the double garage and adjacent machinery store. The rear garden is a true credit to the current owners who have a passion for gardening. Together they have created a superb area with a vast selection of young specimen trees and flower beds planted with an abundance of flowering plants and shrubs. The party room in the garden is a very useful room and great for summer gatherings. The rear garden backs onto paddocks the rear with fields beyond.
