Located at the end of an unmade road, this property is perfect for those looking to relax in beautiful surroundings – you may even spot wildlife such as deer, hares and birds of prey from your window. The local area is dotted with charming towns/villages, such as Attleborough (5 miles) and Wymondham (10 miles) which have independent shops and eateries within their beautiful historic buildings. For the motor sport enthusiasts Snetterton race track is a short drive away. Why not hop on a train from Attleborough to the nearby city of Norwich (20 miles) with its beautiful cathedral? You can explore Thetford Forest (15 miles) to the south and the Norfolk Broads (23 miles) to the northeast, either on foot or by bike, or perhaps younger guests would prefer a visit to Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure (17 miles).

Beautifully restored, this former barn is now an impressive holiday home boasting character and space. It is tastefully decorated throughout with traditional furniture sitting effortlessly alongside modern fixtures and fittings to create a welcoming home. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, it is ideally suited to families. You enter the lounge/kitchen/diner with its high vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that create an impressive space where everyone can enjoy quality time together. Exposed beams are a reminder of the building’s heritage and add charm to the room. Whether you’re lounging on the sofas, dining at the table or cooking up a wholesome meal in the well-equipped kitchen, you’ll appreciate the elegance and grandeur of this room. Settle down to the TV with DVD player or listen to music on the Echo Dot. The kitchen has a double electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. Two of the bedrooms can be found on the ground floor. One is a spacious double room with an en-suite shower room with a shower and WC, whilst the other one is a twin room. Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom with a bath with shower over and WC. The third bedroom is on a mezzanine floor overlooking the lounge and has two further single beds.

The owner was waiting for us when we arrived at the property and showed us the main features of the barn, which was both friendly and very useful. The open-plan full-height living room makes the barn feel airy and spacious (and also cosy with the gas stove lit) and it is located is a wonderful rural part of Norfolk. There are numerous walks close bRead morey and plenty of local attractions to explore. We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful weekend at the barn and we hope to return at some time in the future. Hide

The cottage was excellent, very comfortable and peaceful making for a relaxing holiday. Getting a signal for our phones was an issue at times. I will use the cottage again next year on my visit to Norfolk.
