If you’re looking for a property with period charm yet benefiting from the convenience of a modern home, then a conversion can bring together the best of both worlds.
While the layout of a converted property may not be as conventional as a house that has been purpose built, the fact that it is one of a kind makes it ideal for those in search of something just that little bit different.
The best conversions make the most of the building’s original features, while offering all the finishes you’d expect from a new home.
From a renovated water tower with some of the best views in Norfolk, and four impressive church conversions, to a former cheese factory and two village schools, we’ve selected a few of our favourite converted properties currently on the market.
A landmark property in a small market town, the current custodians commissioned and oversaw the conversion from the original water tower, resulting in the creation of a high specification, spacious and extremely private home – unlocking some of the finest views in Norfolk in the process.
