Situated on the fringes of the prestigious Royal Sandringham Estate, The Old Barn is a truly exceptional carrstone conversion that seamlessly combines rural charm, contemporary luxury, and enduring character. From the moment you approach, it’s evident this is no ordinary residence. Spanning over 5,000 sq. ft., it offers versatile living areas including a separate annexe, gym, home office, and extensive outbuildings—perfect for those seeking space, flexibility, and an enviable lifestyle.

Full of history yet expertly reimagined, the main residence is centred around a stunning double-height reception hall bathed in natural light from expansive gabled glazing and full-width bi-fold doors. At its core is a magnificent 11-metre sitting room—an impressive space with exposed beams, statement lighting, and an eye-catching inglenook fireplace. Whether hosting grand gatherings or enjoying a cosy evening by the fire, this room delivers undeniable impact.

The adjoining kitchen exudes understated elegance. Handcrafted oak cabinetry complements granite worktops, a large central island, walk-in pantry, and an electric Aga, offering a perfect blend of style and practicality. A separate utility room ensures everyday functionality is seamlessly incorporated.

The accommodation flows effortlessly throughout the main house, comprising four bedrooms including a luxurious principal suite with an open-plan dressing area and a generous, indulgent shower room. Additional reception spaces such as a cosy snug, a home study, and a contemporary conservatory provide adaptable areas for modern family living or remote working.

Discreetly linked yet entirely self-contained, the two-bedroom annexe presents an ideal opportunity for multigenerational living, visiting guests, or potential holiday rentals (subject to planning permission). With its own entrance, fitted kitchen, sizeable sitting room, and two bathrooms, it offers a high standard of finish while maintaining a private, independent feel.

Outside, the lifestyle continues to impress. The south-facing, partly walled garden has been beautifully landscaped to offer colourful seasonal displays, privacy, and various outdoor living spaces. The extensive gravel driveway leads to a remarkable 21-metre, eight-bay cart shed—providing secure parking, eaves storage, and potential for conversion (STP). A separate building houses a fully equipped gym and sauna, while a dedicated home office and additional storage enhance practicality.

Sustainable features include air source heating, high-performance double glazing, 16 solar PV panels (with feed-in tariff), and mains drainage—all set within a Grade II listed heritage setting.

Located in the charming village of Hillington, with its village store, pub, and easy access to King’s Lynn, Sandringham, and the North Norfolk coast, The Old Barn offers the perfect balance of tranquil rural living and excellent connectivity.

Offered with no onward chain, this rare opportunity presents a distinguished home that masterfully balances scale and soul, tradition and innovation, privacy and potential.
