Wacton Hall Barn, formerly associated with Wacton Hall, is a striking 5-bay timber-framed barn under a steeply pitched tiled roof, thought to date from the late 1600s. The timber frame sits on a brick plinth much of which is exposed internally and which has been enhanced to give the barn its immense character. The barn is now Listed Grade II as being of architectural and historical importance.
The barn has been skilfully and imaginatively converted. The front doors open onto a magnificent reception hall with a fine exposed timbered vaulted ceiling overlooked by a galleried landing which, in turn, radiates to the rest of the splendid accommodation. Much of the barn remains open plan at various galleried and mezzanine levels allowing fine views from the extensive glazed gables and striking vistas across the expanse of this exceptional barn conversion.
Wacton Hall Barn occupies a super rural position about a mile south-west of the village of Wacton and is set amongst South Norfolk's gently undulating farmland. Its position allows for some spectacular and far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
The village of Long Stratton (about 2 miles to the east) caters for a good range of facilities including a supermarket. A comprehensive range of commercial, entertainment and cultural amenities can be found in the City of Norwich (11 miles to the north) alongside its renowned shopping.
The area is well served for communications with the A11 at Attleborough (12 miles to the west) also offering a station with a regular service to Cambridge (about 60 minutes). Diss Railway Station (14 miles to the south) has a regular service to London Liverpool Street (approximately 100 minutes). The expanding Norwich International Airport caters for domestic flights together with international destinations, mainly via Schiphol Amsterdam.
Norfolk boasts many opportunities for leisure pursuits within its beautiful and largely unspoilt countryside including the Norfolk Broads network to the north-east and the North Norfolk coast (much of which is now designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) offering walking, bird watching, boating and fishing. There are also numerous well regarded golf clubs throughout the county.
Standing to the south-east of the barn is a substantial timber-framed building on a brick plinth under a pantile roof. Part provides double-length 2-bay under-cover parking whilst the remainder is blocked wall with weatherboard elevations providing a garage/workshop with double doors, side pedestrian access and a gardener's loo. Power, light and water are connected.
Wacton Hall Barn stands in formal gardens extending to about 1 acre and also meadows of a further X acres.
A gravelled drive from the country lane sweeps through a 5-bar wooden gate onto an expanse of gravelled hardstanding for parking in front of the house. A further 5-bar wooden gate opens onto a further expanse of gravel providing for further parking and giving access to the outbuildings and to a rear secondary access.
The gardens extend principally to the south and east with a flagged terrace abutting the rear of the house opening onto expanses of lawn under-planted by a variety of spring bulbs and interspersed by a number of sapling trees, all enclosed by post-and-rail fencing and fronting onto the moat. Of particular note is an imaginative quay-style raised terrace extending into the moat around which is a wrought iron fence and a central ornamental shingle and pot garden. Within the moat, overlooked by the quay, is a fountain and on the far bank a waterfall. Beyond the moat is a less formal, lightly wooded area, again enclosed by post-and-rail fencing, accessible via a timber bridge from the formal gardens.
