Coldham Hall Barn is an imposing converted Grade II Listed residence dating back to 1820 and was originally the main barn for Coldham Hall. The property stands in grounds in excess of one acre and is situated in an idyllic rural setting yet within a short drive away from the market town of Aylsham. The Barn has a traditional 'H' shape and the conversion work which took approximately two years now sees the building transformed into an expansive four bedroom home with a self contained three bedroom annexe. A shared driveway leads past the side of the barn and around to the rear courtyard, providing ample parking and leading to two garages. To the front there is a more private walled South facing courtyard offering a tranquil and attractive spot to sit and enjoy views of the rest of the grounds.
Aylsham is a thriving market town that stands next to the river Bure. The town was famed for its linen and canvas industry during the 14th century and then later became renowned for its weaving of woollen and worstead cloths. Nowadays traders offer a wide variety of goods at the market place, where standing nearby is the attractive flint-faced church of St Michael. Aylsham is also well known for its auctions and there are various stately houses in the area, the most famous of which, Blickling Hall is only one a half miles from the town. The market town of North Walsham is approximately 8 miles away with a variety of shops and facilities, whilst Cromer is approximately 11 miles and is often hailed as one of Norfolks most attractive seaside resorts. The Cathedral city of Norwich lies approximately 12 miles south and offers extensive cultural and leisure facilities, including excellent schools in both private and public sectors, and there is a main line rail link to London Liverpool Street and a national airport North of the city.
