This bright and airy space features a generously sized window that allows natural light to flood in, along with a practical tiled floor. One wall is fitted with built-in bench seating, offering ample space for boots and shoes, with coat hooks conveniently placed above. From the boot room, a striking wooden door leads into a beautifully designed utility room. This well-equipped space includes a sink, ample storage, and room for a washing machine. The vaulted ceiling, complete with painted exposed beams, adds character, while the Amtico herringbone flooring complements the timber worktops, creating a warm and stylish feel. Stepping down from the utility room, the hallway is laid with traditional brick flooring, continuing the rustic charm. Off the hallway are two generously sized double bedrooms, each offering a private and tranquil atmosphere. Both bedrooms benefit from oak flooring, built-in wardrobes, and calming decor, with one enjoying views over the garden. The bathroom is also accessed from the hallway, where the brick flooring continues up a small step. The bathroom features a good-sized shower and bath, all in excellent condition. The true wow factor of the ground floor is the stunning kitchen and dining area. This bright and spacious room is found at the end of the hallway up two steps, boasts a vaulted ceiling and is presented in immaculate condition. A wood-burning stove provides a cosy touch for cooler months, while the kitchen itself - installed just over 18 months ago - is finished with sleek granite work surfaces whilst a door leads directly from the kitchen to the patio and garden area - ideal for entertaining during the summer months, along with a second patio area. The herringbone flooring flows seamlessly from the kitchen into the dining area, where a large, exposed beam marks the transition between spaces. The dining area enjoys dual-aspect views over the garden and includes additional cabinetry and work surfaces, perfect for entertaining. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ FIRST FLOOR A staircase from the kitchen leads up to the sitting room, creating a natural flow between living spaces. The sitting room is generously sized and ideal for either relaxing or continuing the entertaining space. Large windows frame beautiful views over the mature garden and provide a lovely outlook back over the kitchen, giving the home a sense of openness and connection. This room also offers access to a good-sized storage area, providing practical space without compromising the aesthetics. Throughout Marsh Barn, several timeless cast iron radiators have been installed, adding both warmth and a touch of classic sophistication to this beautifully designed home. Additionally, planning permission has previously been granted at Marsh Barn to create a third bedroom \(on the first floor\) along with the creation of 2 en suite bathrooms without significantly impacting the existing 1st floor living space. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ BARN Marsh Barn benefits from a separate area currently used as a commercial space by the vendors. This adaptable section offers the next owner’s ample opportunity - whether to continue its current use or to repurpose the space for alternative functions, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Constructed from brick and finished with cladding, the barn includes a full damp-proof course, making it well-suited for conversion into additional living accommodation if desired. This section currently comprises a utility room, W.C., and storage rooms, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of future uses—from home offices and studios to guest suites or annexes. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ OUTSIDE Marsh Barn is perfectly positioned within its own 1.5-acre plot, offering a stunning and varied garden landscape designed with both beauty and practicality in mind. The grounds are thoughtfully divided into distinct areas, each with its own charm and purpose. A standout feature is the versatile garden room, currently used as an entertaining space. Finished to a high standard with oak flooring, electricity, and Wi-Fi connectivity, it would also make an excellent home office, studio, or garden retreat - offering flexible use for work or leisure. The garden has been carefully planned and well-established, with a considered selection of trees, shrubs, and planting schemes. A large, lush lawn leads toward a collection of native Norfolk fruit trees, while raised beds offer space for growing cut flowers or vegetables, ideal for those with a passion for gardening. Adding to the property’s idyllic setting, a gentle stream runs along the boundary, enhancing the sense of peace and privacy while offering picturesque views across the neighbouring fields. Several outdoor dining and patio areas are dotted throughout the garden, creating perfect spots for al fresco meals, summer gatherings, or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ SITUATION Marsh Barn is situated in the charming rural village of Claxton, nestled in the heart of South Norfolk, just over six miles east of the vibrant city of Norwich.
