    About this property

    • Forming part of a small collection of traditional Norfolk barns, in open countryside within 1.5 miles of the coast and 6 miles of Holt, Avocet Barn is a stylish barn from which to enjoy the lifestyle of this part of Norfolk with ease.

      Recently the beneficiary of a programme of updating, the barn has a wonderful sense of space and light. This is epitomised on the first floor, hosting the main living space. An exceptional room on a grand scale, with vaulted ceilings exposing the old beams of the barn, this is an area that is as adept at entertaining friends and family, as it is for a cosy evening in front of the woodburner. The open plan room has three defined spaces, with the fully fitted and recently installed kitchen and large island unit, a dining area, and then the opposite side allocated to a living space centred on a feature chimney with wood burner. Plenty of windows allow for views over the gardens and countryside beyond.

      The ground floor has a user friendly layout. The entrance hall spans the width of the house, providing a direct view through the house to the charming gardens. Off the hall are the bedrooms, which include a spacious principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, a further en suite double bedroom and a third double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A fourth bedroom is currently used as a study, mainly due to the lovely view of the gardens, with this floor completed by a shower room and useful utility room.

      Outside
      Avocet Barn enjoys some well curated outdoor space, providing privacy and all day sun. To the south of the house is an enclosed courtyard area, paved with gravelled beds of rosemary and lady's mantle, whilst the high walls are clad with established grape vine and climbing hydrangea.

      The main garden area is a large enclosed space that enjoys sun throughout the day, framed mostly be brick and flint walls. Immediately adjoining the house is a paved seating area, with paved path continuing alongside the lawns to a gravelled seating area. This area, currently hosting comfortably large garden seating, has a deep herbaceous border around it, creating a colourful and scented backdrop with lavender, rosemary and sage amongst other specimens. The gardens are a wonderful space to enjoy whilst also easily maintained. A pedestrian gate at the end of the garden leads to a country lane from where you can pick up nearby bridleways and footpaths.

      The barn includes private parking spaces, and a garage with space for car, but more commonly used in this area for storage of bikes, kayaks etc.

    I love this part of Norfolk. So quick to the coastline and some fantastic pubs, yet in such a peaceful spot.
