Alston Farm

Sowerbys are delighted to present to the market this immaculate and very highly specified barn conversion. No expense has been spared in creating this beautiful four bedroom home with an excellent degree of space and flexibility to suit modern family living requirements, with a blend of large open-plan living spaces and the option of more cosy, intimate areas as required.

Underfloor heating can be found throughout the property, provided by a Dakin air source system, with the main reception rooms benefitting from Italian porcelain tile flooring and all bedrooms have been fitted with wood effect tiles. The lighting throughout the barn is exceptional, with contemporary fittings including a number of drop down chandeliers, sky lights, generous aluminium windows and bi-folding doors, a number of which have built in blinds. The main reception rooms have generous proportions and can be further enhanced by opening the bi-folding doors between two of the reception rooms, creating the perfect space for larger gatherings or entertaining.

There is a great light and airy feeling throughout with views over the wrap around gardens, aided by the vaulted ceilings and sky lights in the principal reception rooms. Of particular note is the open-plan kitchen and dining room with fitted Hacker kitchen, fitted island with granite work surfaces, Neff appliances including cooker and hob, combination oven and microwave, coffee machine and double oven with steam function, dishwasher, two warming drawers and Blanco sink and taps in both kitchen and utility room.

The principal bedroom enjoys both a dressing room with bespoke fitted furniture/wardrobes and en-suite bathroom with Cubico bathroom furniture and fittings. The second bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite shower room to an equally high standard. The third and fourth bedrooms are again both excellently proportioned double rooms with access to a Jack and Jill bathroom with a stunning walk-in shower.

The property is accessed between brick pillars through automated electric gates. To the front and wrapping round to the side of the property is an extensive shingle driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles, an oak framed, double bay cart shed with log store to the rear, garden shed and summerhouse. The summer house is accessed and set upon composite decking area with seating space, and comprises mesh and Perspex windows providing the perfect place to sit and enjoy the stunning views out to the paddocks and the stunning countryside beyond. The gardens wrap around the barn and are mainly laid to lawn with shrub and hedge borders. To the rear of the barn is a substantial paddock area, which combined with the immediate gardens extend to just over 2 acres providing excellent scope for equestrian pursuits, subject to any necessary consents. 

OVINGTON Ovington is a charming small village with an active community located near Carbrooke. The village has its own church and village hall. Each year Ovington holds a Christmas bazaar and a summer fete. The long established ladies group, gardening and bowls clubs are also active in Ovington.

In addition, Watton is well placed for access to the A11 and the A47 as well as the B1108 offering a direct route into Norwich. There are mainline train services at both Attleborough and Thetford with regular intercity trains via Cambridge to London Kings Cross.
