Summary - Happisburgh Road, White Horse Common, NR28 NR28 9NG
4 bed 2 bath Barn Conversion
Spacious four-bedroom mill conversion with canal views and private garden bar.
Approximately 2,440 sq ft over three floors
A striking four-bedroom barn conversion set across three generous floors, this former mill residence brings character and contemporary living to the Norfolk countryside. At roughly 2,440 sq ft the home offers flexible family accommodation centred on a large kitchen/breakfast room with exposed beams, integrated appliances, central island and an adjacent utility. The dual-aspect first-floor sitting room, complete with a wood burner and large windows, frames extensive views over the Dilham Canal and surrounding marshland.
Externally, the plot is private and well landscaped with a maintained lawn, paved patio and a detached timber entertaining bar called ‘The Drunken Crab’ — suitable for use as a garden studio or annex subject to consents. Off-road parking is available on a private driveway and there is a garage for additional storage. The property sits in a quiet hamlet location with local footpaths and easy access to North Walsham’s shops, schools and transport links.
Practical points are straightforward: the home is freehold with an EPC rating of C and oil-fired boiler serving radiators. The converted mill structure and any historic mill machinery remaining in the building may require ongoing maintenance and specialist oversight. Council tax is above average and the immediate area is classified as ageing rural neighbourhoods with pockets of local deprivation, although crime levels are very low. Mobile signal is average while broadband speeds are reported fast.
This property suits buyers seeking substantial character accommodation and countryside living — ideal for families wanting space and scenic views, or those who value a distinctive home with entertaining and conversion potential. Viewings will suit purchasers prepared for the upkeep a historic conversion can entail and for whom oil central heating is acceptable.
