The Property

Hollies Farm Barn is an impressive former agricultural building of mellow red brick and timber boarded elevations under a pantile roof, which was imaginatively designed and sympathetically converted during the early 1990's. This family home has plenty of character and charm with period features throughout, yet offers the 'mod-cons' for modern family living.



Entering into the barn you will find a reception hallway, cloakroom and inner hall. The handmade Aga kitchen is located in the south east wing of the house with a vaulted ceiling and views over the front gardens/drive. The kitchen has an inset butler sink, electric Aga and space for appliances. In addition to the Aga there is a built in double oven and induction hob. To the centre of the room is the perfect space for an island unit or large farmhouse dining table. A doorway leads into the utility & garage. The heart of this barn is really situated in the large open plan sitting/dining room which measures 28'5'' x 19'5''. The room is a great entertaining space and features a large brick inglenook fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove. The room is also dual aspect. The accommodation is very versatile and adaptable with in total five rooms which could be used for bedrooms or reception rooms, of which two are located on the ground floor. The stairs rise up to a vaulted galleried landing where three bedrooms lead off. There is also a family bathroom with a modern three piece suite (with shower over the bath), while on the ground floor is an en-suite shower room.



Outside

The property is approached by dual five bar gates which open out into the front gardens/parking area. The driveway is shingled with ample parking for a number of vehicles, with two bays enclosed within a trellis area to the left hand side of the garden. Beyond the trellis are a number of raised vegetable beds with authentic railway sleepers. The double garage has two timber doors, power and light connected, with access into the utility room. The utility room was a later addition and occupies a proportion of the garage space. The rear gardens are fully enclosed and of cottage style. To the centre of the garden is a decked seating area with a feature pond and bridge running over. The garden also has a number of walkways & pathways, leading to seating areas which are scattered around the garden.



Location

Set along a single track country lane is 1 Hollies Farm Barn. The barn is one of three barns and a neighbouring former farmhouse which form part of the village of Morningthorpe. The village has a number of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for keen walkers. For schooling, primary students would fall into the catchment for Hempnall Primary School with Long Stratton High School for secondary pupils. Morningthorpe is close to Long Stratton, Hempnall and Harleston, which all have excellent facilities. Each location has an abundance of shops, facilities and services on offer, with excellent transport links.
