Yew Tree Farmhouse, Barney
This period farmhouse sits in the heart of Barney, a north Norfolk village near Thursford & close to the A148. The property offers a great amount of space, with 4 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms, a large garden & additional land.
The house is full of character, with sash windows, fireplaces, exposed floorboards in the main lounge & 2 staircases. The layout includes a main lounge, rear reception room, breakfast room, further reception room, kitchen, utility room, pantry, separate store & ground-floor WC. Upstairs, there are 3 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom & a bathroom, with countryside views from the rear bedrooms.
The property would now benefit from upgrading, but offers clear potential for someone looking to create a long-term home in a village setting. Full planning permission was granted on 1 October 2025 for a 2-storey rear extension, including a kitchen/dining room on the ground floor & a principal bedroom with en-suite on the first floor. Permission has also been granted for a detached cart shed with office above.
Outside, the farmhouse has a lawned front garden with mature shrubs & trees. To the rear, there is a large garden mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees & a potting shed. A gate leads through to the adjoining field of approximately 1 acre, where the approved cart shed is due to be situated.
