Property code: OC-2173

This beautifully converted barn is brimming with character and high-quality furnishings, providing a comfortable and welcoming retreat for families and groups of friends. Surrounded by wildlife, it’s set in the quiet village of Shereford, and makes an ideal base for trips to sandy beaches, seaside towns, stately homes and nature reserves.

A high-ceiling criss-crossed by old beams gives the open-plan living space of this lovely holiday property enormous character and a feeling of airy space. Create tasty meals in the kitchen, which is equipped with a range cooker, linger over them at the wooden dining table and then relax in the lounge area, where comfortable sofas surround a Smart TV. At bedtime, you’ll find two of the three bedrooms on the ground floor - a twin with a pair of 2' 6" single beds plus an en-suite bathroom, and a double with a gorgeous exposed-flint wall. Up on the first floor, tucked under sloping ceilings with more exposed beams, is another double bedroom with a Smart TV. The two double rooms share the use of a lovely shower room on the ground floor. The courtyard outside is complemented by a covered seating area in the corner of another barn - just the spot for a morning coffee or some pre-dinner drinks.

Shereford is 3 miles from the market town of Fakenham, renowned for its weekly market, and just 11.5 miles from lovely Wells-next-the-Sea and the North Norfolk coast, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sculthorpe, 3 miles, has a fenland nature reserve - a super place to observe a wide variety of bird and wildlife. The Georgian town of Burnham Market, 11.5 miles, is a popular village to visit; on the way, drive through North Creake and explore the abbey ruins.

A wonderful cottage which works well especially with 2 bathrooms. Location is in the heart of the countryside, so peaceful. The entire north Norfolk coast is 30 to 40 minutes away so there is so much to do and you can retreat to the cottage in the evening. The Town is 10 minutes away with all you need. Brilliant time.

The cottage had absolutely everything we needed and more. Gorgeous setting- rural but not too far from local amenities. So much wildlife to see. Would definitely love to come back for another trip to the Hayloft.

Lovely place and ideal for birdwatching locations such as Sculthorpe, Snettisham, Titchwell, Holme & Cley. Tucked away from the main roads in a quiet valley with a resident Barn owl which showed itself regularly. The cottage is clean, fresh and modern. A great place to unwind and slow down.

An excellent escape from the routine of everyday life. An ideal location for exploring North Norfolk, with its many nature reserves and amazing coastline. The Hayloft is relaxing, with comfortable sofas and beds, well equipped, and lots of space. And if you like the peace and quiet of the countryside, then this is the place for you!

Loved the location and the property had everything we needed. Loved the quiet surroundings. Things that could be improved: The downstairs double bed was extremely creaky/squeaky so we didnt sleep that well The TV turned itself off and on again at very regular intervals There were quite a few flies and not much fly spray which ran out quickly
