Perched close to the sandy shores of Norfolk’s Walcott Beach and surrounded by patchwork fields, this charming barn conversion has all the makings for an easy, breezy seaside retreat. From its blissfully quiet, secluded spot, you could feel a million miles from anywhere – which is how we like things. But when the sea calls, the soft sands of Walcott Beach are just 0.9 miles away. A smidge further, you’ll find the post-card pretty village of Ridlington (a 2.5-mile drive). Or, there's good old-fashioned beach fun down at Mundesley, with its colourful beach huts, lip-smacking fish and chip shops, and lashings of ice cream. Back home, this light-filled treasure is a joy to return to, with its exposed beams and stonework bringing all the wow factor. Set out across one level, extended families or friends sharing will love the privacy the bedrooms bring, each with a separate bathroom. And there’s heaps of space to get together for catch-ups and cuppas around that impressive wood burner – the underfloor heating will keep things toasty in winter too. And when the sun shines, fling those French doors open wide and head out into the suntrap garden for drinks on the terrace as kids and... furry friends alike burn off some energy on the enclosed lawns.
