Rectory Barn (number 1 Richmond Road) is one of a pair of traditional converted barns that would have originally been part of the The Old Rectory estate (next door), which in turn is in the shadow of the St George's Parish Church of Saham Toney. We understand from our client that Ultra Fast Full Fibre Broadband is available to the property (source - ofgem) __________ OUTSIDE The property is approached over a private gravelled driveway leading round to the rear of the property, into a gated and wall courtyard garden. The courtyard provides an ample parking and turning area, along with a detached double garage (up and over doors, with power and light) which also has a personnel door to the side. A brickweave terrace links the barn to the courtyard, accessed through double doors in the main living room. Our client has had solar panels installed - there are currently 16x panels and our client informs us they generate 4Kwh. An iBoost has also been installed, which is able to divert any excess generated electricity to heat the immersion tank. __________ GROUND FLOOR The property is entered on the ground floor from the rear courtyard into the main entrance hall. Immediately to the left of the entrance hall is the large dining room (17'1 x 12'10) with high ceilings, exposed brickwork, and exposed beams, and beyond this is the study (15'11 x 8'9) with the water tank and iBoost in the cupboard. Heading back to the entrance hall, straight in front of you will be the spacious kitchen/breakfast room (22'0 x 16'10) with a utility off to the far corner. The flooring is stunning natural travertine and enjoys exposed beams and the original timber stabling partition. The utility room has space for a washing machine and dishwasher. The fabulous sitting room (22'4 x 22') is located at the far end of the barn and benefits from French doors leading directly out to the terrace and courtyard. Floor to ceiling windows look directly out on to the courtyard whilst a large brick fireplace with wood burner creates a wonderful central focus point. An internal W.C. (off the entrance hall) completes the ground floor accommodation. __________ FIRST FLOOR The staircase rises from the sitting room to the first-floor landing/lobby area. In front of you, you will find the main bedroom (14'7 x 13'3) complete with an en suite bathroom and separate dressing room. Heading back through the lobby, an internal door opens in to the first-floor corridor. The three other bedrooms (18'4 x 13'8, 18'4 x 14'8 & 14'3 x 12'8) are each accessed off the landing with short run stairs, whilst the family bathroom (complete with bath and separate corner shower) is located at the end of the landing. All the bedrooms have a Velux window to the rear elevation. __________ SITUATION Saham Toney is a small village in the Breckland District of Norfolk. The name Saham Toney derives the first part of its name from the Old English meaning "village by the lake", referring to the Saham Mere (a now privately owned 12-acre body of water dating back over 10,000 years). The second part of the name derives from the fact that the land was owned by Roger de Toney, descendant of William the Conqueror's standard-bearer, who was awarded the Capital Manor in Saham by King John in 1199. The village is approximately 15 miles north of Thetford and 27 miles west of Norwich. Attleborough (about 13 miles away) has a train service between Cambridge and Norwich. Harling Road Train station is approximately 9 miles away. The village has a local public house called The Old Bell, and a local C of E Primary School. The beautiful Parish Church of Saint George (in part 14th century) is located just around the corner from the property. There is also a country hotel, pavilion with cricket and rugby field and a village hall. The post office holds service on certain days in the Wells Cole Community Centre (WCCC-effectively the village hall). The Richmond Park Golf Course is very close, approximately 1 mile from the property. The quiet market town of Watton is only 1.7 miles away and has several independent shops on the high street along with a Tesco Superstore. There are also a number of other market towns nearby, such as Swaffham and Dereham, whilst the city of Norwich can easily be reached by car with an extensive range of amenities and facilities, including several public schools. The A11 corridor provides easy access northwards to Norwich and southbound towards London. __________ DRIVING DISTANCES (approx. source google maps) - Norwich (John Lewis car park): 27.5 miles - Thetford: 16 miles - Swaffham: 7.8 miles - Dereham: 10.8 miles - Attleborough: 12.7 miles - Watton (Tesco car park): 1.7 miles __________ WHAT3WORDS We highly recommend the use of the what3words website/app. This allows the user to locate an exact point on the ground (within a 3-metre square) by simply using three words.
