A fabulous, stand out conversion of a 19th century barn enjoying wonderful open rural views that extend out towards the coast. From the west facing Juliet balcony of the romantic master suite, you can spot The Wash on a clear day, and witness the most wonderful sunsets that this area of North Norfolk is renowned for.
Forming part of the exclusive Park Farm Barns complex set high above the village of Snettisham, and accessed via a private road, The Big Barn, quietly tucked away at the far end of the development, benefits from the largest plot and wonderful uninterrupted views. Built of local brick, with the addition of weather boarding reflecting its proximity to the sea, this superb barn is a luxurious, top-quality build. Inside you will find original exposed beams complemented by beautiful oak floors, doors and a statement open return staircase, a handmade fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces and four beautiful bedroom suites, including the impressive master bedroom with its fabulous hand-made contemporary four poster bed. The vast light-filled ground floor open-plan living area, with french doors opening to the garden, is divided by a feature double-sided wood burning stove supplementing the underfloor heating. Aspiring chefs and domestic goddesses will have no problem rustling up a memorable meal in the adjacent kitchen, again with a door to the garden - handy, should things get a bit steamy! It really is a thing of beauty and something to behold but practical too with an adjoining mud room/utility for dealing with the less glamorous side of life. Upstairs are three well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, a king-size and two doubles. Outside, enjoy making the most of long summer days lazing and dining in the enclosed garden, pick an apple or two from the fruit trees, and relax while the children and dogs play safely.
The Big Barn is perfect for friends, a large family or two smaller ones to enjoy a really special holiday together, whatever your pleasure. It's an easy walk down to the village if you just want to grab a bite to eat, or maybe buy some provisions for 'dining in', and a short drive away from North West Norfolk's glorious coastline dotted with endless sandy beaches, nature reserves and amazing birdlife. Country house lovers will appreciate easy access to some magnificent local splendours - Sandringham House, Houghton Hall and Holkham Hall - with Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall a little further afield. If you are after some retail therapy, boutique shopping is available at Drove Orchards, Thornham Deli (both at nearby Thornham) and, of course, the pretty Georgian village of Burnham Market with its array of restaurants, shops, cafes and galleries.
For larger groups and peak season availability, The Big Barn is also available with use of two further bedrooms, accommodating up to ten guests: The Big Barn.

Travel cot and high chair are provided (please bring your own bedding for the cot).
There is no starter pack (tea, coffee, sugar and milk) or welcome hamper provided at this property.
Please note: Some of the driveway and garden fencing on the neighbouring field side of the fence has an electrified element to it to keep horses in the field. This is not dangerous and can only be touched by reaching over the fence. Small children of an adventurous nature should be supervised to prevent the temptation of climbing the fence.

Fantastic place just right for our family. A few hiccups but they were resolved fairly quickly.

A truly beautiful barn with everything we could need for a stay. Stunning surroundings, so peaceful and relaxing. A wonderful setting in which to spend time with friends. Doing the most important things in life - laughing and making memories to last a lifetime with special friends.

We all had a lovely week in The Big Barn. The barn was very spacious for three families and had everything to keep us relaxed and rested. We will miss the donkeys as they provided us with a witty daily roll show. The barn is set in wonderful countryside and is so close to coastal towns. Thank you for a great week.
