Summary - Pennygate, Barton Turf NR12 8BG
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Private architect-designed five-bedroom country home on circa one acre, close to the Broads.
Five double bedrooms including principal suite with private roof terrace
Cobble End Croft is a bespoke five-bedroom detached home set privately on about an acre in Barton Turf. Architect-designed and built in 2000, the house offers generous reception space laid out for family living and entertaining: a formal dining room, grand sitting room with brick fireplace and gas-fired wood burner, sun-filled garden room and a stylish bar lounge. The kitchen/breakfast room is traditional-meets-modern with bespoke units, integrated appliances, Quooker tap, pantry and utility. A ground-floor bedroom or home office and shower room add flexibility.
Outside spaces are a standout: landscaped gardens with mature fruit trees, a large terrace, a timber hot-tub room with triple-aspect glazing, and a separate log cabin (currently a gym) plus a large roller-door shed and garage. The principal suite includes an en-suite and a private roof terrace with wide countryside views; four further double bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the sleeping accommodation. There is no flood risk and mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong for a rural location.
Buyers should note practical running and maintenance considerations. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, which affects ongoing fuel costs and servicing; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The large grounds will require regular upkeep and the detached outbuildings may need updating to suit new uses. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is peaceful and tucked away, so think about commuting distances and vehicle reliance when visiting schools and local amenities.
For families seeking space, privacy and flexible entertaining in the Norfolk Broads area, this property offers rare scale and character. It will particularly suit buyers wanting a country lifestyle with easy access to nearby Broads, village facilities and Norwich, but who are comfortable with the upkeep that accompanies a large bespoke home and grounds.
