The Property
Barn Cottage is a stunning cottage-style barn conversion, tucked away on a quiet lane in the popular rural village of Edgefield, just a few miles from the market town of Holt and the north Norfolk coast.
This stylish and comfortable home benefits from lots of natural light and plenty of character features, such as exposed beams, wooden floorboards, a woodburning stove and original Pamment tiled floors. The ground floor features a wonderful open plan living area leading from the impressive full-height entrance hall, which includes a sitting room with a woodburning stove, an office, a conservatory, a kitchen, a utility room and a cloakroom with a loo and handwash basin.
Upstairs, there are three spacious double bedrooms leading off a mezzanine landing, featuring high ceilings, exposed beams and two built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with a heated towel rail, under-floor heating, a walk-in shower, handwash basin and loo. Bedroom Two and Three are also doubles and fitted with plantation shutters. The family bathroom has a full size bath with an overhead shower, handwash basin, loo and bidet.
The kitchen is perfect for keen cooks with built-in wooden cabinets on the top and bottom, a granite worktop, a range cooker with a five ring electric induction hob and a butler sink. There is plenty of room for a large dining table in this sociable room. The utility room leads off the kitchen and has built-in units on the bottom, a granite worktop, butler sink, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, space for a full height fridge freezer and a glass door that opens to the garden.

The sitting room feels bright and spacious and is flooded with natural light coming from both sides of the house and with an exposed brick fireplace, woodburning stove and has plenty of room for comfortable sofas. The office, off the sitting room, has room for bookcases along one wall, exposed brickwork on the other and leads out to the conservatory, with fabulous views of the garden.
Outside
At the front of the house, there is a gravel driveway for parking, a workshop/garage by the roadside and a double cart shed, alongside a raised lawned garden. The fantastic rear garden is beautifully landscaped, with a terrace at the bottom, a pathway running up the side to another terrace and a summerhouse. The garden has a well kept lawn, mature trees and shrubs and beautifully planted flower beds. It is ideal for outdoor dining during the warmer months, enjoying the sounds of nature and the peace of the countryside.
Holiday Let Opportunity
