Set among the open fields of Norfolk’s mighty Fenlands, this charming, family-friendly retreat is an instantly welcoming base for exploring the area, with far-reaching views stretching out in every direction. It’s close to Downham Market (4 miles), a handsome market town known for its fascinating gingerbread-style architecture, surrounded by beautiful walks through the Fens. Follow the Fen Rivers Way along the Great Ouse, discovering the wide, flat fields that define this rugged part of Norfolk. The towns of Wisbech (13 miles) and March (19 miles) are also worth a visit, alongside the attractive cathedral city of Ely, a little further away (20.5 miles). Heading towards the coast, visit King’s Lynn (8.5 miles) as a stop-off on your way to Norfolk’s marvellous northern coastline, with Snettisham, Heacham and Hunstanton all within 25 miles.
Rural yet not remote, this property is one of seven barn conversions on a working farm, so there are always neighbours bustling around to say hello to as you go about your day. Step inside your red-brick abode and head straight into the spacious kitchen/diner, a traditionally styled space that’s well equipped for turning local ingredients into delicious dinners. A farmhouse-style table sets the scene for cosy mealtimes, while the lounge across the hall offers somewhere to unwind when dinner is done. An ornamental stove provides a focal point in the living room, with soft seating arranged around a Smart TV to create plenty of space to put your feet up. French doors lead from here into a patio with a BBQ and picnic bench, ideal for making the most of hot, sunny days. Notice the cloakroom as you make your way upstairs to the first floor, where all three bedrooms feature a cosy, traditional design and plenty of space to spread out and feel right at home. The king-size master bedroom is ideal for couples, with its own en-suite, while the two twin bedrooms are better suited to sharers. The remaining rooms are served by a refreshing family bathroom.
Choose to relax in peace or get to know the neighbours while making the most of the outdoor space – you’ve got the choice of a private garden or ample shared facilities on-site. French doors lead from the lounge onto your courtyard, where outdoor furniture and a BBQ await. Elsewhere, you’ll find a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, games room and playground, all shared with other guests staying at the complex. Private parking for three cars is also provided.
