abbotFox Land & New Homes presents this unique opportunity to create a dream home in beautiful Norfolk countryside setting.

From the sellers
“The location really is a piece of paradise, with an abundance of bird and wildlife.”

Introduction
This collection of traditional Norfolk barns and cart shed is located on the south-west corner of a former Second World War airfield and now offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for new owners to create their dream home in the countryside.

Inside
Under the plans, the barn will be reconfigured and extended to around 2,000 sq ft and will include a double height entrance hall on the ground floor, as well as an open-plan sitting and dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and separate pantry and utility space.

Two good-sized bedrooms will be located on the ground floor, with three further bedrooms upstairs. There will also be a large family bathroom and all the upstairs rooms will be accessed from an impressive galleried landing.

Outside
The property will be set back from the road with designated parking spaces at the front and a good-sized garden at the rear, extending to around a third of an acre and bordered by soft hedging.

The proposals pay homage to the original building’s age and use and have been designed accordingly. The home blends into the Norfolk landscape but has a modern approach, giving the structure a new - and welcome - lease of life for the next generation.

Stand-out features will include its new metal extension, which is designed to honour the site’s local aircraft heritage, and will be connected to the much older structure by a glazed, two-storey link.

Reception rooms
The plans allow for a good balance of open-plan and sociable living spaces as well as well-proportioned private rooms, with the option to convert the two ground-floor bedrooms into further living spaces if required.

The main living space is located towards the front of the barn and has a vaulted ceiling with a viewing platform above. It will offer a semi open-plan living and dining area, separated by an open bookcase, as well as a woodburner and windows to three sides.

More informal dining space will be included in the separate kitchen.

Bedrooms and bathrooms
The main sleeping quarters will be located on the first floor and will include three good-sized bedrooms, along with a family bathroom with a double walk-in shower and a separate bath.

The principal suite is expected to be particularly noteworthy, as the plans see it include a free-standing bath in the bedroom area, a large en suite shower room with twin basins and its own Juliet balcony looking out over the gardens.

Two additional, easily accessible bedrooms will be located on the ground floor, along with a cloakroom which could be accessed by a ramp.

Features
The property has been designed to be a beautiful mix of the old and the new and is a real design statement.

Its glazed, corridor-like link will provide a wow-factor first impression and its unique mix of materials - which will include the original clay lump, barn-style timbers and modern, industrial-style metal - will create an eye-catching contrast, combined with panoramic windows and high ceilings to create a real sense of space.

Practicalities
The kitchen will be of a good-size and include a breakfast bar in the centre, as well as an L-shaped section to include plenty of worktop and storage space.

Towards the rear of the barn there will also be a large pantry and utility space offering garden access which could double as a boot room.

Ample off-road parking will be provided by designated spaces at the front.

Services
It will be possible for the the property to be on mains water and electricity and will have 1Gb Full Fibre available. The property will benefit from underfloor heating. The south facing roof is ideally suited for the installation of Solar Panels.

Location
Great Ellingham is a semi-rural village located around three miles from Attleborough. It’s excellently positioned for road links via the A11 and well-served by public transport, including good rail and bus connections from both Attleborough and Wymondham and local amenities including a school, park, shop pub and churches.

Families
The village is increasingly popular with families thanks to its strong sense of community. An excellent primary school (Ofsted rated - Good) and several playing fields are located in the centre of the village, which also has a scout group and the Breckland Astronomical Observatory

Each July, Great Ellingham also hosts its annual Teddy Bear Festival, which sees many villagers build and display straw bears in their gardens, raising money for charity.

It’s also in the catchment area for Wymondham College, which is one of 36 state boarding and day schools in the country and provides education for students aged 11-18 and beyond (Ofsted rated - Outstanding).

Our agent's view
“This property offers an extremely rare opportunity and allows buyers the unique chance to give new life to an historic barn.

The location really is everything, here, as it combines all the amenities you could ever need from a small Norfolk village with idyllic and uninterrupted views of the countryside.

The vendors call it a paradise and it’s easy to see why: there’s little traffic, an abundance of wildlife, and enough character and charm from the existing structures to create a really wonderful home.

I expect us to have a lot of interest in this one and I can’t wait to see what it becomes over the next few years.”
