We are pleased to offer this recently converted (2007) detached period barn conversion situated within a gated environment of four other substantial dwellings. Weeting shares the facilities at nearby Brandon and is a short walk to the Historic Thetford Forest and on to attractions such as Grimes Graves, (ancient flint mines) and High Lodge activity centre. The surrounding landscape is described as ‘Breckland’ which is ideal for those with an interest of the outdoors and all that it may encompass. Weeting has a public house, primary school, garage and shop. Annually the village plays host to one of the largest steam and traction engine rallies in East Anglia.

Yew tree barn has been sympathetically and skilfully converted during 2007 from an ancient brick, flint and clunch barn- formerly serving the Rectory as stables and storage. The standard of conversion is, in the Agent’s opinion, extremely high. Features of note include, oil fired central heating being under floor with five zones on the ground floor and radiators with heated combination towel rails on the first floor, contemporary styled fitted kitchen with appliances and an open gallery above, reclaimed pine doors, tiled and oak floors, quality sanitary wares, mains drainage, double glazing and an impressive E.P.C rating.
