The Location

Set within the admired village of Ludham, this appealing setting offers more than just a place to live – it promises a lifestyle shaped by community, convenience, and the charm of rural Norfolk. The village itself is well-established and proudly maintained, with a friendly, close-knit atmosphere that encourages time spent outdoors, conversations with neighbours, and the simple pleasure of a slower, more fulfilling rhythm.

At its heart, Ludham provides all the essentials and more – from a traditional butcher and independent florist to a doctor’s surgery, primary school, and a welcoming village pub. It’s a genuinely active community, with a village hall hosting regular events and a variety of small shops and cafés making daily life easy and sociable. Whether you're picking up local produce, enjoying coffee with friends, or joining in with annual celebrations, there’s always something happening just a short walk from home.

The landscape here is perfect for exploring by boat, bike, or on foot, offering a lifestyle in tune with nature. Well-served by regular bus routes, Ludham also connects easily with Wroxham, Great Yarmouth, and the city of Norwich, providing access to a wider range of shops, restaurants, and cultural opportunities – all while enjoying the calm and character of a true Norfolk village.

The Barns, Ludham

Tucked away in a discreet setting within the highly regarded Broadland village of Ludham, this exceptional barn conversion offers over 1,800 sq ft of versatile and beautifully presented living space. Finished to a high specification throughout, the home retains the warmth and charm of its rural heritage, with exposed beams, stripped wood floors, and traditional brickwork seamlessly blending with contemporary fittings and thoughtful design.

The ground floor is centred around a generous open-plan living space—an impressive, light-filled area that combines formal and informal zones with ease. At its heart, a striking inglenook fireplace offers a natural focal point, complemented by French doors that open out to a private, south-facing courtyard. This secluded outdoor space is enclosed by attractive brickwork, offering a sheltered spot to dine, relax, or entertain across the seasons.

The recently installed kitchen is both stylish and functional, complete with granite worktops, bespoke splashbacks, and quality appliances, while a separate utility/cloakroom keeps everyday needs neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, the character continues with four spacious double bedrooms, each with built-in storage and individual charm. The principal bedroom enjoys the added benefit of a Juliet balcony and a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with exposed beams and quality fittings.

Natural light flows throughout the first floor via Velux windows and clever use of space, giving a warm, inviting feel to every room.

Beyond the private courtyard, residents also enjoy access to an enclosed communal garden, a rare and welcome addition that provides a wide, open lawn bordered by planting and post-and-rail fencing. Ideal for children, shared gatherings, or simply enjoying open views of the surrounding countryside, it’s a peaceful retreat that adds a further dimension to outdoor living.

The property is approached via a private shingled driveway serving just a handful of neighbouring homes, with allocated parking under a characterful cart shed and additional visitor parking available.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a spacious, high-quality home in one of Norfolk’s most attractive and well-connected villages—perfect as a full-time residence, countryside retreat, or low-maintenance second home with character, comfort, and lifestyle in abundance.
