8,000 square foot listed barn conversion with indoor
swimming pool and gym area, courtyard and exposed roof timbers in village
setting on the Cambs / Norfolk border close to Peterborough, King's Lynn and
the coast
Offers in the region of £1,100,000 |
Granary Barn is situated in the
very picturesque village of Elm, on the Cambridgeshire / Norfolk border,
offering easy access to Peterborough, King's Lynn and the North Norfolk coast.
It is also within 15 minutes of March and Downham train stations.
The
village boasts three pubs, a school, local convenience store and a Post Office,
all within easy walking distance. It is also on the main bus route from Wisbech
to March.
Granary Barn is a 26-roomed listed building of approx. 8,000
square feet, set in the grounds of Elm's oldest house and the building has been
in use right up to the start of the conversion in 2000.
All rooms
throughout the barn have the original roof timbers exposed. Large areas of
brickwork have been left exposed wherever building regulations would allow. All
timberwork and joinery have been manufactured on-site in a fully equipped
workshop by local craftsmen who have been employed for five years, working
solely on this project. All fine details have been carefully thought out and
reproduced to suit the style and age of the building.
The barn is an
absolute showpiece; only by visiting it will you see the sheer size and
appreciate the attention to detail that makes this property truly unique.
