Fun and tranquillity go hand in hand at this beautifully converted barn in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Located in the village of Rockland-St-Mary, there’s ample nature to explore right on your front door, as well as the shimmering coast just a half-hour away by car. Bursting with charm and plenty of character, the home’s living area boasts original beams, a vaulted ceiling and exposed brick walls in a space that’s rustic and modern all at once. Whether you’re making yourself comfortable on the sofas with a board game or gathering around the farmhouse-style table for a celebratory meal, you’ll love spending time in this sociable, open-plan space. The garden, meanwhile, beckons sunny breakfasts around its table and barbecue meals as the sun starts to set, and the hot tub invites you to relax and unwind under the stars – a glass of bubbly in hand. With underfloor heating throughout as well as two comfortable bedrooms that promise a peaceful night’s sleep, you’ve got everything you need for an idyllic country getaway. When it comes to sightseeing in the local area, you’ve got plenty from which to choose. The Broads and the River Yare offer plenty of walking paths to... explore (a twelve-minute walk away), while Great Yarmouth and its sandy beach are thirty-five minutes away by car. The medieval city of Norwich is also easily accessible by car in eighteen minutes or by the local bus service that runs just outside your home.
