5. Partly walled garden, patio, orchard and mature hedging for privacy

Heathlands House is a substantial detached barn conversion set in an impressive 1.11-acre plot, offering five bedrooms, generous reception space and a wide range of outbuildings. The house retains character features such as exposed flint walls, a triple-aspect garden room, open fireplaces and an orchard-lined garden, creating a classic rural atmosphere and strong scope for improvement.
This is a clear refurbishment project: the property currently relies on a generator for electricity, heating is provided by a solid-fuel range (with oil boiler/ radiators also recorded) and drainage is to a septic tank. The substantial outbuildings and former glasshouse all need work, and the property has an EPC rating of F. These factors mean upfront investment is required, but they also create potential to add value through modernisation and service upgrades.
The plot and location are standout assets. The partly walled garden, paddock, large patio, mature hedging and varied outbuildings provide scope for horticulture, equestrian uses or home-business projects. Positioned in a peaceful village setting within easy reach of the A11, Thetford and Norwich, the house will suit a family or buyer seeking a rural lifestyle with good road links and excellent privacy.
Practical points: council tax is low (Band A), broadband speeds are reported fast, and the area is affluent with low crime. Buyers should budget for electrical re-connection, general renovation works and verification of heating/drainage systems before committing to change-of-use or extension plans.
