Description:

An exceptional expansive home where town meets country. Description Nestled on the edge of the hugely popular market town of Reepham, at the end of a quiet loke, the Grade II listed Rookery Barn defines an edge-of-town home. The juxtaposition of town and country is brilliantly displayed and balanced with an orientation to take in the views of the gardens and open countryside beyond, with privacy and a peacefulness hard to find in town locations, yet all the convenience of a well-served town within a short walk. It is a wonderful lifestyle opportunity. The home was the subject of a complete internal redesign, a collaboration of ideas between the current custodians and their architect, to great effect. To a large extent it has re-written the rule book of how a space within a barn can be utilised, with bold decisions creating an individuality yet in harmony with the traditional structure. A major triumph of the design is the first floor living, and is difficult to do justice in text. An exceptional open plan, seamless expanse of space to absorb life, flooded with light from large floor to ceiling windows, and with the added impact of full height 17th Century vaulted ceilings. Throughout the space is a pleasing mix of sharp contemporary lines contrasting with the red brick and tie oak beams. The sleek lines of the contemporary kitchen units are cleverly designed, with a large island unit and the backdrop of a second higher unit hiding the more functional sink and working area from the living space. Although entirely open, the location of the beams and carefully positioned erco architectural lighting system serve to 'divide' the space into 'rooms' with a defined dining area, and a living area at the very end. Glass flooring, abutting vertical slatted oak, provides a further contemporary edge to the room and provides a visual link to the ground floor. A useful first floor WC provides practicality. Two staircases, with a subtle nod to the overall. Still available at ListedBuy!
