Description
The Property
Hall Barn is most certainly not a barn, as the name implies. The house is a wonderfully imposing farmhouse of 17th century origins, with Georgian, Queen Anne and Edwardian additions including the distinctive bays to the main façade. The house would now benefit from modernisation and is currently in a dated but liveable condition.
The house is welcoming, with an abundance of charm and period detail. A fine entrance hall leads to the front formal rooms and onwards into the staircase hall and other main rooms. The drawing room and reception room at the front of the house are defined by the large bays, which allow for plenty of light to floor each room, with the dual aspect drawing room completed by an open fire. There is a more cosy sitting/dining room, but still on a large scale, with woodburner. This is helpfully positioned next to the traditional farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room, a substantial space to enjoy which will have been the focal point over the generations, with direct access to the south facing terrace and with a scullery and larder adjoining for great practicality. There is an additional larder, with excellent cabinetry, and a boot room between the house and the adjoining garage.
All bedrooms are on the first floor, accessed via the Edwardian staircase to a central landing leading to all rooms. There are four principal bedrooms, all spacious double bedrooms, and a further three bedrooms which can accommodate double beds but are on a slightly smaller scale. There are four bathrooms, one of which is en suite to one of the main bedrooms. All rooms enjoy fine views of the surrounding gardens.
Gardens and Grounds
The house enjoys a wonderful approach, through wrought iron gate sweeping through broadleaf woodland opening to out to a lawned area in front of the house. The drive continues past the house, to the garage area, and continuing onwards back to Church Road, providing a degree of formality.
The gardens and grounds of Hall Barn are delightful, with a truly fantastic selection of fine trees. These include a magnificent Cedar, many fine Beech trees, a particularly ancient Oak, and other specimens such as Mulberry. These are dotted throughout the three acres of grounds, with the more wooded areas to the west and south of the land, with paths meandering through beneath the broadleaf canopy.
The formal gardens are to the immediate south and west of the house. A well-positioned paved terrace adjoins the southern elevation, accessed from the kitchen and providing a lovely area for outside dining and entertaining bordered by herbaceous beds and shrubs. Beyond this is an expanse of lawn sweeping up to the boundary. The house itself is adorned with roses and an impressive wisteria, carefully trained around the bays of the west façade.
To the north west of the house is a partly walled garden, with orchard, kitchen garden and further lawns. The woodland to the south also hosts a large pond.
Location
Hall Barn is located to the north of the village of Frettenham. The rural village has a primary school, public house, Grade II listed former mill and a regular bus service.
The house is under two miles from Horstead, with the excellent deli and butchers ‘Farm to Fork and Fish’ and the popular public house ‘The Recruiting Sergant’. The neighbouring village of Coltishall is a well-served village, with the River Bure meandering along the village edge, providing a focal point for visitors and habitants alike to enjoy. The village has everyday amenities such as post office, chemist, doctors surgery, primary school and petrol station alongside public houses on the river’s edge, restaurants, The Norfolk Mead Hotel, and cafes. Coltishall Common has a staithe with moorings which provides access to the vast network of Broads that our county has to offer.
Norwich, the cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, is about 7 miles, with thriving retail, cultural and education sectors including shopping centres and universities. The city has excellent restaurants, art galleries, award winning covered market and independent shopping, alongside a direct line rail service to London Liverpool Street.
