Barn Drift is a stunning conversion of a 17th century barn located on a farm overlooking the sea that has been in the owner's family for generations. It is situated above Cley marshes and next to a pretty area on the farm known locally as 'The Hangs' and has uninterrupted views over the beautiful Glaven Valley. To the west the historic church of St Margaret's at Cley, can be seen nestling at the edge of the village as can Wiveton Church and beyond the ancient church of St Nicholas at Blakeney. Blakeney Point can be seen from the garden and to the north are views of Cley marshes and the sea. Barn Drift is ideally situated for many varied walks either to the beach, bird watching or just across the fields to the pub for lunch, or to the village playground or deli for ice creams and smoke house for fish. The property has been sympathetically restored to an exceptionally high standard, care has been taken to retain period features, combined with every modern convenience to provide an elegant, contemporary, extremely spacious, and comfortable home. Totally surrounded by fields, Barn Drift stands in nearly five acres of its own grounds, within which are three sheltered walled gardens accessed directly from the house.
