Description

Set within one of Norfolk’s most idyllic and highly sought-after villages, Oak Tree Barn delivers a lifestyle that many dream of and only a few ever secure. Hidden away in a private setting, shared with just a handful of neighbouring homes, this beautifully converted barn offers complete tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of Norwich City Centre, giving buyers the perfect blend of peaceful rural living and city convenience.

The approach immediately sets the tone, with generous parking to the front, a further parking area to the side, and an impressive double garage with vaulted ceiling, offering not only superb storage but future potential for those seeking additional accommodation (subject to planning).

Inside, the sense of space and character is unmistakable. A useful porch opens into a grand hallway that instantly showcases the scale of the home, a statement entrance large enough to function as a versatile reception area. The barn extends to around 2500 SQ.FT and incorporates the features buyers expect from a period property of this calibre, including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, original doors and sections of exposed brickwork that add warmth and texture throughout. All four bedrooms are doubles, with the principal bedroom enjoying a modern ensuite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom and an additional cloakroom.

The kitchen/breakfast room captures the essence of country living and boasts a classic farmhouse feel along with a vaulted ceiling, beams, skylights and an AGA cooker. This is a superbly proportioned room offers space for the whole family and enjoys views along with access to the terrace. From here you’ll find the utility room, a useful lobby area and internal access to the double garage. The flow works beautifully for modern family life, offering practicality without compromising the home’s charm.

The sitting room is another standout feature, enjoying a triple-aspect outlook that fills the space with natural light. A feature wood burner creates a welcoming focal point, while French doors lead directly to the garden. A quirky raised dining area, accessed via a couple of steps, adds personality and makes a perfect spot for entertaining, dining or relaxing with family.

The garden has been lovingly maintained and offers complete privacy, surrounded by mature planting and entirely non-overlooked. Mainly laid to lawn, it provides an inviting outdoor space that is generous without being overwhelming, ideal for entertaining, children to play or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Life in Shotesham St Mary is as picturesque as Norfolk living gets — endless countryside walks, a strong sense of community, and a setting that feels serene and exclusive, yet Norwich’s shops, restaurants, schools and cultural attractions are just a short drive away. Oak Tree Barn is not simply a property; it is a lifestyle opportunity in one of the county’s most desirable locations.
