Docking: Five-bed barn conversion in Fring for sale for £1.1m

Meadow Barn in Fring, near Heacham, is listed for sale for £1.1m and is described by estate agents Sowerbys as “one of the finest examples of a barn conversion north Norfolk has to offer”, ideal as both a family residence or “large holiday home."

The property has been extended by its current owner and combines rustic features with more contemporary living spaces, including a large entrance hall with a floor-to-ceiling window at the front.

The sitting area is particularly lovely and full of character, with a detailed beamed ceiling and exposed wooden floor. French doors, which open out to the front and rear, bring in lots of light.
