This splendid former barn, set in the heart of North Norfolk, has been converted into a cosy retreat perfect for couples and small families craving an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This scenic countryside spot on the outskirts of Cranmer is a great base for exploring the beautiful landscapes, picturesque villages, and windswept coastline that make North Norfolk so irresistible. Keen outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike can enjoy wildlife and bird watching opportunities at Holkham National Nature Reserve and Cley Marshes Nature Reserve, both reachable within 17.5 miles. A deer-filled parkland, a lake with rowing-boat hire, a walled garden, and an 18th-century Palladian-style house can be explored at the incredible Holkham Hall estate, 6 miles away. Enjoy a traditional bucket-and-spade day on the golden sands of Wells-next-the-Sea, 9 miles away, famous for its colourful beach huts and scenic woodland walks.

Warm natural colours, pretty painted brickwork, and gorgeous original roof beams greet you in the light-filled, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. A contemporary country-cottage style finish combined with delightful, homely touches adds both warmth and character, with the feature wood burner setting the scene for relaxation. Designed with budding chefs in mind, the farmhouse-style kitchen will capture your imagination and inspire you to whip up something delicious that can be enjoyed seated around the wooden dining set. Sit back and admire the wonderfully green views through the large set of glazed doors from the comfort of the sumptuous sofa. During the warmer months, leave the glazed doors open to make the most of indoor-outdoor living. Wash off a long day on the local trails in the contemporary family bathroom before retiring to the king-size bedroom or twin bedroom. Featuring plush soft furnishings and the same homely ambience as the rest of the beautiful bolthole, each bedroom promises a dreamy rest.

Find true tranquillity as you enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled on the idyllic, enclosed terrace, which features a BBQ, perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining. A gate from the terrace leads onto a large, fenced shared paddock area with play equipment, perfect for children to let off some steam before bedtime. There is plenty to explore across the extensive shared surrounding grounds, including refreshing dips in the indoor swimming pool, hours of fun in the games room, and outdoor games in the play areas and tennis courts. There is private parking outside the cottage, with further ample off-road parking found on-site.
