The Property
A substantial barn conversation at approximately 4,500 square feet nestled within the enchanting Norfolk countryside, 2 Shaw Farm Barn beckons those seeking a tranquil escape amidst a backdrop of captivating history and natural splendour.

Once a humble agricultural structure within the esteemed Wethered Manor Farm of Sedgeford, this barn underwent a stunning metamorphosis in 2002.

Today, it stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of contemporary luxury and the timeless allure of its rustic origins.

This work was in collaboration with numerous local tradespeople, guided by the architectural vision of Robert Lloyd in Roughton, adding a touch of community spirit to the project.

Approaching the property, one is greeted by private gates and a serene gravel drive, fostering an aura of exclusivity and seclusion.

Surrounded by the sweeping vistas of Norfolk’s picturesque landscapes, one cannot help but feel transported to a realm of tranquillity and refinement.

Step inside, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where history and opulence intertwine seamlessly. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by local artisans and visionary designers, this home offers an unparalleled opportunity to bask in the splendour of the region’s expansive skies and rich heritage.

Enter through the formal entrance, where an inviting and spacious living room awaits, filled with natural light and adorned with a charming Clearview fireplace as the focus in the vast space. Serving as the focal point of the residence, this fireplace exudes a cosy warmth that permeates throughout the spacious interior.

With its exposed brick accents and central location, the fireplace becomes the heart of the home, radiating warmth and inviting occupants to gather around, whether to curl up with a favourite book or simply unwind to the soothing melodies of music or the sounds of nature. Here, amidst the crackling fire and the symphony of birdsong, one can truly savour the comforts of country living.

Transformed from a humble farm machinery storage space, 2 Shaw Farm Barn now boasts a captivating mezzanine level, accessible via a bespoke wooden staircase, adding depth and character to its open-plan design.

The heart of the home lies within the meticulously crafted kitchen, where form meets function seamlessly.

Here, a practical granite-topped island stands as a testament to both style and practicality, offering ample space for culinary endeavours and fostering family engagement. The inviting ambiance is also the perfect place to encourage socialising and connection.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a spacious reception room awaits, thoughtfully outfitted with a Sonos Sound System to enhance moments of relaxation and conviviality. This versatile space has evolved over the years to accommodate a myriad of purposes, from dining and childcare to leisure and productivity.

As you explore the residence, you’ll encounter a delightful blend of rustic charm and contemporary comforts, bridging the gap between its agricultural heritage and modern sophistication.

After a leisurely stroll through the nearby countryside, the convenient boot room, and attached WC, provide a practical yet stylish entry point which ensures muddy boots and coats remain discreetly tucked away from the main living areas.

The downstairs sleeping quarters in the lower barn seamlessly continue the inviting atmosphere found throughout the rest of the home.

Beyond the cosy snug, a corridor leads to a family bathroom and three generously sized bedrooms. One of these bedrooms offers courtyard access and its own en-suite, providing both comfort and convenience.

With vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, this tranquil area invites relaxation and rejuvenation. Its versatility lends itself to serving as a separate annexe for guests or as a potential holiday let, pending the necessary planning approvals.

Ascending to the upper level via the characterful staircase, you’ll appreciate the charm it adds to the barn’s ambiance. The robustness of the beautiful oak staircase echoes the authenticity and longevity of the materials chosen for this home’s construction. This deliberate choice speaks volumes about the commitment to quality and timeless design embodied throughout the property.

The mezzanine landing offers picturesque views over the living room, enhancing the sense of luxury within this converted space.

Natural light floods the first floor, thanks to the expansive floor to ceiling windows that are strategically positioned to optimise brightness and spaciousness.

Both upstairs bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms and balconies. The expansive dressing room, which doubles as a spacious home office, create a haven of comfort and productivity.

Picture yourself on the full-width balcony, savouring a morning coffee as the sun rises on the surrounding fields.

Additionally, a detached brick outbuilding offers both garage space and a workshop, further enhancing the property’s appeal.
