Uniquely situated in a secluded location with breathtaking open views across open countryside and out towards the sea. This newly converted fabulous barn has magnificent full height arched windows with absolutely stunning full height open plan living areas, set in over an acre of private grounds with the use of a natural swimming pool, a wooden hot tub and a fabulous health and fitness out-house with a gym, steam room and sauna. It's been creatively converted to the highest possible standards to create the ultimate Norfolk holiday home combining a wealth of original features, including beautifully preserved beams and exposed brickwork, with all the latest technology. In our opinion this barn truly is the best place to stay in North Norfolk, being quietly located in an idyllic rural location only minutes from Burnham Market, and being stylishly furnished by its professional interior designer owners, making it the perfect choice for families and friends to treat themselves for a really special stay. The luxuriously appointed and well-spaced out bedrooms ensure that no one has "the short straw" with five sumptuous bedroom suites ideal for couples, two of which are located on the ground floor for easy access, plus a downstairs wing perfect for younger generations with a bespoke bunk room adjacent to a superb games room. The charming Georgian village of Burnham Market is easily reached within a few minutes drive, together with the beautiful beaches at Holkham, Wells and Brancaster.

Village

Possibly one of the prettiest villages in North Norfolk, this Georgian village is within easy access to the North Norfolk Coast, still with a quaint feel, with many trendy shops. The village retains a ‘step back in time’ feel with leafy green trees and picturesque village green. Burnham Market has a traditional post office, book shop and hardware shop as well as beautiful boutiques and lifestyle shops, from the butchers and baker to fine dining and deli’s. There’s a superb fishmonger Gurneys with locally caught seafood including Brancaster mussels and Cromer crab - be sure to try the amazing fresh fishcakes. It’s a lovely village to visit to peruse the shops or even for a bite to eat in one of the restaurants. There are a lot of eateries to choose from… The Hoste for fine dining or afternoon tea, No Twenty9, The Nelson, award-winning Socius, Burnham Tearoom, or Tilly’s Cafe, there’s something to suit every taste. There is also a children’s play park, hard tennis courts and two parish churches one at each end of the village. If in need of a little pampering why not book a treatment or two at The Hoste Beauty Spa.There is also a dog groomer so you can have the best pampered pooch in the village.

Visit

With a scenic ride to the coast, you can enjoy lazy days on the beaches of Brancaster or Wells. Alternatively pull on your walking boots and investigate diverse coastal path walks, taking in all the birds and wildlife. Leave the car behind and pop on the Coastal Hopper bus and do a tour from Wells and The Burnhams to Norfolk's west coast. Don't forget to visit Holkham which not only has a superb beach, but majestic Holkham Hall which is well worth a visit: hire a boat on the lake, hop on a bike to explore the woodlands, test your bravery on the rope course, play in the woodland play park, take in the breathtaking rooms and art in the main house or simply enjoy tea and cake in the courtyard cafe. If big houses are your thing there are many others to visit with Houghton Hall and its fantastic sculpture collection, the house and grounds of Royal Sandringham to name a few! Get on the water, there are many activities from kite and windsurfing in Hunstanton, sailing in Brancaster Staithe, seal and boat trips from Brancaster and Wells, or take a beautiful trip on The Coastal Exploration Company and learn about the wildlife, trading and smuggling in the salt marshes or along the coast.

A beautiful home, with a wonderful host in Katie. This is a place of peace and quiet with fun for all the family. The space and light! Loved the courtyard garden and great to have the games room and gym. We loved the Barn Owl camera. I'm a fan of Julian Chichester furniture so good to see so many beautiful pieces.
