Newsham Lodge Barn is a spacious, characterful three-bedroom barn conversion set quietly on the edge of Barningham. The home combines traditional features—exposed stone walls, beamed vaulted ceilings and arrow-slit windows—with modern comforts, including double glazing, a 2024 oil boiler and an EPC rating of C/71. Three reception rooms give flexible living space for family life or home-working, and the kitchen island is suited to informal dining and entertaining.
Outside, the large, well-kept gardens wrap around the house and provide multiple seating and dining areas. A gated tarmac driveway leads to a detached double garage (built 2016) with power, lighting, water and washing machine plumbing—useful storage and practical parking for several vehicles. The property sits within open countryside yet remains accessible to nearby market towns and commuter routes.
There are some practical matters buyers should note. The property uses oil-fired heating and a private borehole water supply; maintenance and repair costs for the shared water and anaerobic drainage systems are split between the five properties in the settlement. Broadband is currently slow (about 13Mbps), though hybrid fibre is anticipated. Legal/ownership details include registration across four titles, a shared access lane with split maintenance costs, and the electric meter positioned on neighbouring land with a right of access. A restrictive covenant prohibits keeping pigs.
Overall, this is a large, attractive family home for buyers seeking rural character with modernised interiors and substantial outdoor space. It will particularly appeal to those wanting flexible living rooms and garage/workspace, but prospective purchasers should factor in shared utilities, oil heating and connectivity considerations into their decision.
