Melton Park, Melton Constable

Offered with no onward chain is this stunning, three-storey barn conversion forming part of this unique and highly favourable Dairy Farm Development at Melton Park; a quiet countryside location with superb views over the surrounding farmland. The conversion of this property has retained a wealth of original charm and character yet blending with more modern features to provide a comfortable home, equally suitable for both permanent or holiday use. The barn complex was constructed in 1715 by Sir Jacob Astley (Lord Hastings) and The Dairy Farm, alongside nearby Melton Constable Hall, was the setting for the film ‘ The Go Between’. Number 8 is marked with a plaque bearing the initials JA and the date 1715 and has had the same owner since it was converted in 1995

Melton Constable itself is a small, former railway village and has a Doctors surgery, school, and a selection of local shops. The popular Georgian market town of Holt is just a short drive and is famous for its independent boutique shops, restaurants and the renowned Gresham's School.

The charm and character of this property makes in an ideal opportunity for those seeking the period home in the countryside.
