Versatile multi‑building property with income potential and expansive private grounds.
Grade II thatched barn conversion with strong original character
Cotenham Barn is a substantial Grade II thatched barn conversion set on roughly three acres, combining a five-bedroom main residence with three well-presented holiday units. The property has been sensitively improved to retain exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and a strong sense of rural character, while providing generous reception rooms, a garden room and a wood‑burning stove for cosy winter use.
The site is versatile: three holiday barns that generate income for the current owners, plus an extensive two‑storey workshop barn that could be adapted for commercial use or converted to additional accommodation (subject to planning). Grounds include a listed open barn for entertaining, an established wildlife pond, two stables and mature woodland with meandering paths toward the Broads.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed (which restricts alterations and may complicate repairs), the thatched barn and large grounds will require ongoing maintenance, and the heating runs on an oil boiler. Broadband speeds are slow and the EPC is rated D. A public footpath crosses the site and council tax sits above average.
This home will suit families seeking flexible multigenerational living, buyers wanting a countryside holiday‑let income, or buyers with a conversion project appetite. The setting on the edge of the Broads, low local crime and plentiful parking add practical appeal, while any ambitious changes will need careful planning and listed‑building consent.
