Old Station House in Barney is a handsome, detached period residence nestled in the heart of north Norfolk amidst some of Norfolk‘s most idyllic and picturesque countryside.
A splendid, double fronted faade dressed in mellow red brick and ornate sash windows strikes a handsome pose and perfectly showcases Victorian architecture at its finest and a revival of the Queen Anne era.
Set over three floors and extending to around 2,800 sq. ft. the substantial accommodation is both well-proportioned and highly versatile.
Extensively renovated in recent years by the present owner ‘Old Station House‘ has been impeccably maintained throughout and equally well-presented.
A classic central hall connects to two principal receptions including a magnificent dual aspect sitting room and a sumptuous formal dining room. An open plan kitchen/diner provides a social hub for the house with classic ‘Shaker‘ cabinetry, the obligatory Aga range cooker and a generous casual dining area.
A wonderful garden room and further conservatory further enhance the living space whilst embracing the gardens and views over rolling countryside. Practical space is in abundance and perfect for a home of this size with a large utility/laundry room and guest WC.
To the first floor you will find a spacious landing filled with natural light. Set at the front of the house are two balanced, double bedrooms each with open views over fields and one with a luxurious en suite bathroom, ideal for guests. The principal bedroom suite is a real showstopper with dramatic vaulted ceilings, countryside views and extensive fitted wardrobes. This exceptional bedroom is served by an adjacent shower room. A home office/single bedroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
A concealed staircase off the first-floor landing rises to the second-floor loft room that provides great versatility and options to further enhance.
The property has gated vehicular access on the north elevation which leads through to a generous courtyard parking area and access to a barn style garage/workshop.
The gardens are beautifully landscaped and vigorously maintained to provide a wonderfully colourful outlook all year round. Shaped lawns are peppered with a variety of trees and an expansive paved sun terrace enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect. The rear boundary opens onto glorious countryside views
‘Old Station House‘ is nestled in the heart of the pretty north Norfolk village of Barney. The village boasts a strong community feel and is ideally central to north Norfolk with access to nearby towns like Holt and Fakenham along with easy access to the heritage coastline.
BARNEY An enviable location in north Norfolk, Barney is a picturesque and attractive small village in a secluded area, just to the south of Thursford and about eight miles from the Georgian market town of Holt.
There‘s an historic church, St Mary‘s, which, in parts, dates back to Saxon times, and there is holiday accommodation for beautiful retreats. The village is surrounded by meadows and woodlands.
A strong sense of community thrives among the proud residents and local businesses of Holt, and many of the latter champion the local ‘Love Holt‘ initiative which waves the flag for the independent shops that add vibrancy to the Georgian town centre. Throughout the year, there are plenty of local events including a summer Holt Festival and 1940s Weekend, which takes over the town and ‘Poppy Line‘ heritage railway that runs between here and Sheringham.
With a traditional butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer, the town even has its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark which has been run by the same family since 1770.
The town and its surrounding yards house a collection of chic boutiques and luxe lifestyle stores to explore and fill your home and wardrobe with beautiful things - linger and choose your favourite locally made fragrance at Norfolk Natural Living.
If you are looking for the perfect spot to enjoy country life, Holt is one of Norfolk‘s finest market towns with easy reach to the coast and city and if this sounds like your kind of place, let us help you to find your next property.
