Nestled in the Norfolk countryside, just a twenty-two-minute drive from Cromer and the coast, this converted barn is the perfect blend of old and new. Inside, you'll find charming period features like wooden beams and exposed stone walls, but the real wow factor is the open-plan living space. It's the heart of the house, where family and friends can chat, relax and share a meal together. We particularly love the bi-fold doors that open onto the garden – when the weather is nice, they flood the room with light. The south-facing terrace catches the sun all day, so pull up a chair and enjoy a morning cuppa or an evening drink in the fresh air. When the sun goes down, we can't think of anything more delightful than popping a log on the wood-burner, grabbing a glass of wine and playing a game or two before bedtime. With the Georgian town of Holt an eight-minute drive away and the Salthouse Marshes reachable in fifteen, this cosy cottage promises plenty of Norfolk adventures. Stay local and ramble along the walking paths and country lanes on your doorstep – ideal for exploring with your four-legged friends in tow – or, take it... easy and relax with a pamper session at the award-winning spa in the village, followed by a pint and delicious dinner at the gastropub.
