Character Norfolk House Builder & Barn Restorer
Grove Farm Barns, Booton, Norfolk
Grove Farm Barns are being converted from a 1740s thatched barn 53 metres (around 173ft) long. Sitting rooms are on the first floor so the theatre of these exceptional open roof spaces can be fully appreciated.
They are being converted into three properties with south facing walled gardens, garaging and studios. They all have full residential planning permission.

The conversion will include high specification fittings, hand crafted kitchens, carefully selected floor covering and beautifully fitted bathrooms and shower rooms.
The barns will all have the benefit of secluded south facing terraces, attractive walled gardens which include a separate building with garaging, a studio/bedroom study and shower room, and a storage room.
