Petite Barn

Norfolk

The Petite Barn, nestled within the stunning grounds of The Meadows Estate in Norfolk, offers an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquility in the heart of the countryside. Surrounded by 40 acres of picturesque and secluded landscapes, guests can immerse themselves in nature, enjoying the soothing sounds of wild birds and the chance to spot local wildlife, such as muntjac deer. With its contemporary design and sophisticated ambiance, the barn serves as an excellent base for exploring the nearby Norfolk coastline and the charming rural surroundings.

Recently renovated in 2023, the barn features a chic interior that harmoniously blends original architectural elements with modern touches, catering to the tastes of discerning visitors. Accommodating up to four guests, it boasts an inviting open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area complete with a cozy wood burner. The sleeping arrangements include a spacious primary bedroom featuring a king-size bed and a luxurious freestanding bathtub, alongside a second twin bedroom, both conveniently connected to a private shower room. In addition, the Petite Barn can be rented alone or in conjunction with The Meadow Manor for larger gatherings.

Located in an unspoiled rural setting surrounded by farmland, the Petite Barn is just a mile from the quaint village of Litcham, which offers a friendly local pub and a village store for essential supplies. For a broader selection of amenities, guests can venture to the nearby market towns of Swaffham, Dereham, and Fakenham, each approximately nine miles away. Notably, Swaffham hosts a vibrant outdoor market every Saturday, featuring a diverse array of stalls that shouldn't be missed. Additionally, the historic Houghton Hall & Gardens, with its contemporary sculptures and beautiful walled garden, is a mere twenty-minute drive away, making it a perfect family outing.

For those yearning for the refreshing sea breeze, the stunning North Norfolk coast is only twenty miles north of the barn, showcasing serene sandy beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham Beach, and Brancaster Estate. Further west lies the National Trust’s Blakeney Nature Reserve, celebrated for its breathtaking coastal views and rich wildlife, including the largest grey seal colony in England. Adventurous guests can partake in seal-watching boat tours for a memorable day by the sea. Alternatively, the historic city of Norwich, known for its medieval architecture and vibrant independent shops, cafes, and galleries, is just a forty-five-minute drive away, offering a delightful change of pace from the serene countryside experience.
