For a contemporary take on farmhouse chic, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better example than this stunning 1920s converted barn. Sandwiched between the spectacular Norfolk Coast AONB and the charming Norfolk Broads, this home places you within a fifteen-minute drive of some of the most picturesque scenery the UK has to offer. In addition, its proximity to Norwich makes it ideally suited for anyone who might appreciate a bit of retail therapy thrown in alongside the natural wonders. French doors line the side of the barn, allowing easy access to the garden from almost every room in the house, including both bedrooms – perfect for that morning cup of coffee in the sun. The open layout and soaring vaulted ceilings maximise the natural light flowing in the opposite direction. A sleek kitchen is ideal for plating up culinary perfection, while the spacious living room offers a comfy spot to put your feet up at the end of a day spent exploring your surroundings. The village of East Ruston might have featured in a Sherlock Holmes book, but nowadays it's best known as home to a creatively designed 32-acre garden packed with rare and exotic plants that you wouldn't expect to thrive...
