About this property

DESCRIPTION The Blickling is a stunning two storey four bedroom barn conversion in the village of Roughton. Jonas Farm Barns was a working farm up to 2002 and The Blickling forms part of an exclusive development of nine converted farm buildings, just a few miles from the historic seaside town of Cromer.
This stylish and comfortable home has vaulted ceilings and exposed beams and is flooded with light throughout.

On the ground floor, there is a fantastic open plan living room that includes a dining area and a sitting room, with enough room for a large comfortable sofa at one end and a dining table at the other. The separate well-equipped kitchen features fitted cupboards on top and bottom, a single stainless steel sink and plumbing for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. A double bedroom next to the kitchen has an en-suite bathroom with a hand wash basin, loo and bath with a shower above.

On the first floor, there are three spacious bedrooms. The biggest bedroom features Velux windows and an en-suite shower room. The two other bedrooms currently house twin beds and share a family bathroom with a hand wash basin.

The property is available as a turnkey, complete with all the furniture and fittings and white goods (barring some personal items) by separate negotiation.


OUTSIDE There is a separate completely enclosed private garden only a few feet from the front door, which is partially laid to lawn and gravel and has plenty of space for al fresco eating during the warmer months.
There are two designated parking places for the barn, as well as extra visitor parking for guests.

Laundry facilities are offered in an outbuilding close to the private garden, which is shared by six residences.
The indoor swimming pool, which is heated throughout the year, is shared by the nine residences and has changing rooms, showers, and loos. There is also a play area next to the pool with stunning rural views.
