DESCRIPTION
.

Description 
Star Yard was built in around 1996 and comprises a two storey, timber frame home built in environmentally sustainable materials offering exceptionally well appointed accommodation of huge style and character and having outstanding views over the Waveney Valley.

Tucked away in Millway Lane in Palgrave, a picturesque village close to Diss, Star Yard incorporates a late 17th century barn within its curtilage, the main part of which measures 50ft x 20ft. An exceptional structure in its own right, it has huge potential for a number of purposes and is an integral part of the property as a whole.

Star Yard is unlike any other property you are likely to see and represents not only the completion of a project bringing together the principals of ecological sustainablility and domestic living, but also combines these principals with a fundamental understanding and empathy for the natural environment. This is a place where light and shade, soft and hard textures, colour and shape combine to create a stunning living space but which nevertheless is, at its heart, a delightfully private and practical family home.

Note
Please note there is a large pond and raised walkways at Star Yard which may make it unsuitable for those with small children, babies etc.


The Barn 
This is the building through which you walk to reach the house - and which provides the setting and visible presence from Millway Lane - the house itself is out of sight behind the barn on a gently falling slope from which it provides sweeping views over the Waveney Valley towards Diss and Roydon.

The Barn combines open fronted cart shed parking, a workshop, a main hall (50ft X 20ft), an additional space (c20ft x 12ft), a large covered area suitable for storage and the seasoning of timber etc.

There is plenty of parking in and around the barn area

A walkway leads from the Barn to the House.

There is a recessed area with woodburner, French doors to the front and rear and, central to the whole building, a "Kakkleoven" a highly efficient slow burning but high output traditional wood burning structure which retains heat and disperses it throughout the building.
