Part of a series of converted barns, this romantic bolthole combines original features with modern touches, from exposed brick walls and skylights to exposed wooden beams and underfloor heating. The home is set in the Norfolk village of Langham and is only a short distance from some of the county’s most beautiful sights, including two nature reserves, coastal marshes, and a grand stately home, Holkham Hall. Here you can take a break from modern life and get back to nature, with ample nature walks passing right by your doorstep and the sandy beaches of North Norfolk close by. When you don’t feel like cooking in the modern kitchen, Langham’s pub is only a short walk away, while the seafood restaurants that line the coast are well worth the quick drive.
