Escape to the countryside at this idyllic converted barn in Cranmer, surrounded by the magnificent countryside and coast of North Norfolk—the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat with family and friends. This scenic countryside spot provides a haven for keen outdoor explorers, with excellent cycle routes passing directly past the site that follow the back roads via North Creake to Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Beach (10.5 miles). The local area takes in the most beautiful parts of the Norfolk coastline, including Wells-next-the-Sea, 9 miles away, famed for its golden sands, iconic beach huts and beautiful woodland walks. Dive into hundreds of years of history at The King's country residence at Sandringham, 15 miles away, or explore the spectacular stately homes of Houghton Hall and Holkham Hall, both reached within 9 miles. Pick up some fabulous local produce from the boutiques in the bustling market town of Fakenham, 4 miles away.

The welcoming entrance hallway sets the soothing tone for the rest of this cosy cottage, featuring a high ceiling and painted exposed stonework that adds charm and character. Even more rustic touches, including a gorgeous, vaulted ceiling, can be enjoyed in the light and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Natural wood hues perfectly blend into the colours of your surrounding scenery, with homely touches everywhere you turn, adding a sense of sophistication. The contemporary kitchen boasts everything you need to rustle up a family feast or celebration meal that can be enjoyed with loved ones seated around the wooden dining table. Sit back and relax on the sumptuous sofas and admire the wonderfully green views through the large set of glazed doors. On a fine evening, leave the glazed doors open to make the most of indoor/outdoor living. Back on the other side of the cottage, you’ll find three blissful bedrooms, each brimming with homely charm that will lull you into a peaceful slumber. There is an en-suite king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a single bedroom on offer, each providing a haven of tranquillity to retire to. A contemporary family bathroom completes this peaceful home-away-from-home.

Soak up some fresh countryside air on the enclosed terrace, the perfect spot for alfresco drinks and grilling up some local delicacies on the BBQ. Children can enjoy the fabulous play facilities in the large, fenced shared paddock area that connects directly to the terrace. Further shared facilities to enjoy across the extensive shared surrounding grounds include an indoor swimming pool, games room and two tennis courts. There is private parking outside the cottage, with further ample off-road parking found on-site.
