Set amongst two acres of private gardens at the end of a quiet country lane, this beautiful barn offers style and comfort for larger groups. Dating back to the fifteenth century, your hosts have lovingly renovated the entire home with contemporary design elements while retaining much of its original character. Flint feature walls, exposed trusses and double-height ceilings are enhanced by glass walls and elegant hardwood floors for a holiday home that brings modern living to an effortlessly elegant setting. Set across three floors, there’s plenty of space for guests to spread out. Play a few tunes on the grand piano, escape to the spacious garden for a peaceful moment, watch a film in the entertainment room and dine alfresco on the veranda. You can play boules, croquet and table tennis, and there's a tennis court available at neighbouring Hindringham Hall. In the summer, enjoy your pick of seasonal bounty from the fruit and vegetable gardens, and ensure you take the half-hour drive down to Holkham Beach.
