Manor Farm Barns
These fine examples of
Traditional Thatched Norfolk Barns are situated Just outside the village of
Moulton St Mary on the Reedham Road close to Freethorpe
January 2007. Work has now started in earnest on the main roof
of Barn 2 (the first one to be converted) This one has spectacular views
across fields where, on a clear day, you can see the Wind Farm at Winterton,
some 20 miles away. The old thatch has been removed to
enable other essential preparation work work to continue. Most of the common
rafters were in tact and have been cleaned and treated. Internal work is well
under way with the first floor framework under construction. Some internal
walls have also been erected. Both of these Barns will be finished to a very
high standard, with hand crafted windows made locally and solid oak doors
constructed on site by our own craftsmen. Heating will be under floor and
fuelled via A Geo-thermal heating system incorporating a state of the art
Heat Pump.
May 2007
First fix plumbing and electrics have been
completed and ground floor heating has been laid. The thatching will started
this month and completion is on target for the end of the winter
April 2008
Virtually completed now with just a few
final touches to be added by way of worktops for the superb kitchen. A separate
driveway entrance has been constructed ensuring a greater level of seclusion.
We have installed an integrated Home
network system which distributes television, computer & telephone signals
through one cable giving the end user greater flexibility for how they use their
home. In addition to the TV signals the home network can also take video & audio
signals from 4 pieces of equipment and send them to any Television connected to
the network allowing the user to view their Satellite box, DVD player or
free view receiver from any Television in the house.
In addition to the home network we have
also pre cabled for an fully featured Opus Multi-Room audio system which when
installed will provide Hi-Fi quality sound to each room connected with only a
keypad and speakers in the room so no ugly boxes or trailing wires to worry
about, the Opus audio system has a built in FM/AM radio and can also distribute
audio from up to six other sources including an iPod and Digital Music Servers.
It’s also pre-wired for
external cameras which can be connected into the system
