5 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Street, Lyng, Norwich, Norfolk NR9

The Old Ale House offers exceptional and versatile living with established business opportunities, all set within a central village location.

In the heart of Lyng, this centuries-old former ale house has been meticulously renovated and transformed by the current owners into a beautiful home that perfectly balances period charm with modern living. Comprising a main house, annexe and converted barn, the possibilities for family life, multi-generational living or income generation are extensive. The property currently operates successfully as both a family home and a thriving short-term holiday let business.

A stunning contemporary kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings, bi-fold doors and an abundance of natural light. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, while the space opens seamlessly onto the central courtyard, creating the perfect setting for both entertaining and everyday living. Beyond, there is a stylish shower room and a games room. Across the entrance hall, an inviting sitting room with a feature fireplace and patio doors opening onto the courtyard provides a wonderful space to relax, while a formal dining room offers additional versatility.

Also located on the ground floor is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, complete with a bedroom, shower room, and open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, which also enjoys direct access to the courtyard.

The first floor offers three of the property's impressive bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous room positioned at the front of the property, showcasing attractive character features including exposed beams and a feature fireplace. A further spacious double bedroom sits alongside and both are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Across the landing is a third substantial bedroom with its own en-suite. Benefiting from a separate staircase, this room would make an ideal guest suite.

Separate from the main house is the converted barn, currently operating as a successful standalone holiday let. This attractive space comprises an open-plan living and kitchen area, shower room and mezzanine-style loft bedroom. The current owners have enjoyed considerable success renting the barn over recent years.

Outside, the property offers a surprisingly spacious yet low-maintenance environment. The enclosed rear courtyard provides a private setting for relaxing and entertaining, whilst also leading to additional parking at the rear, a gated driveway and a garage.

Offering a rare combination of an outstanding family home and genuine income-generating potential, The Old Ale House presents a unique opportunity. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and modernisation while carefully preserving the property's rich character and history. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.
