11 bedroom barn for sale

Nestled in the rolling hills of Wickmere, this collection of four barn conversions offers a rare and lucrative investment opportunity. Currently operating as a highly successful holiday let business, each barn in this complex is fully self-contained and comes with its own private garden and parking areas. The barns are immaculately presented, equipped with modern amenities, and have been meticulously maintained.

The true appeal of this property lies in its idyllic countryside setting, perfect for nature lovers. Scenic walks abound, including a charming 15-20 minute stroll to The Saracens Head, a six-bedroom Georgian inn known for its exceptional locally-sourced cuisine, all enjoyed against a backdrop of rural serenity. For those drawn to the coast, the beaches of Sheringham, Cromer, and Overstrand are just 9 miles away. The historic Georgian market town of Aylsham, less than 6 miles from the property, offers a wealth of independent shops, eateries, and essential amenities.

The Barns

Owl Barn: A charming three-bedroom, single-storey barn that rests at one end of the complex, offering an expansive open-plan living space with plenty of room to relax. Beside Owl Barn is a large cart shed that is currently set up as a games area and storage, but would lend itself perfectly for further development-subject to planning permission.

Corner Barn: True to its name, Corner Barn occupies the central 'elbow' of the L-shaped complex. Spread across two floors, it offers an en-suite bedroom on the ground floor and two additional bedrooms upstairs. A landing sitting area above the ground-floor living room adds an extra layer of privacy and versatility. Corner Barn is restricted to business use only.

Baileys Barn: This delightful one bedroom barn is perfect for short stays. Despite its compact size, the first floor bedroom allows for a spacious reception area on the ground floor, creating a peaceful retreat. Baileys Barn, like Corner Barn, is restricted to business use only.

Harvest Barn: The largest of the four, Harvest Barn spans nearly 2,000 square feet over two floors. With multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, this barn is as practical as it is charming, boasting features like a utility room and wrap-around garden. Its size and layout make it ideal for day-to-day living, and it would work well as a main residence.

Owl Barn and Harvest Barn anchor the complex, offering full residential status. Harvest Barn could serve as a primary residence, with Owl Barn potentially used as an annexe. Together, they could facilitate the management of Corner Barn and Baileys Barn, which are designated for business use. Though the barns share a low-maintenance communal space, each has its own designated area for alfresco dining, perfect for enjoying the sounds of Norfolks wildlife. Harvest Barn has its own private parking, while the remaining barns offer ample parking for multiple vehicles.

This exceptional property not only provides a taste of idyllic countryside living but also offers a thriving business opportunity in the heart of Norfolk.
