5 bed barn conversion for sale

Frenze, Diss IP21

Full planning permission has been granted by South Norfolk Council (reference 2024/2735) for the conversion of this remarkable former dairy into a striking five bedroom detached home. The approved plans propose a single storey residence arranged in a u-shape around a private central courtyard, with a swimming pool forming the focal point of this unique design. The conversion will sympathetically retain much of the original building's character, incorporating exposed beams and high ceilings that reflect its agricultural heritage. At the same time, it introduces bold modern architectural elements, including clean lines and expansive glazing to flood the interior with natural light and create a strong visual connection to the outdoors. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to ensure that all principal rooms, including the kitchen, living spaces, and all five bedrooms face into the courtyard, maximising both privacy and natural light. The courtyard itself is intended to be a true centrepiece of the home, offering a tranquil and private setting for year-round enjoyment, seamlessly linking indoor and outdoor living. This is a rare opportunity to create a stunning home that blends historic charm with contemporary design in a peaceful rural setting.
