About this property

With contemporary and sophisticated styling, this spacious property is the perfect group getaway to discover the scenic West Norfolk countryside. It is ideal if you are looking for a peaceful base to enjoy numerous outdoor activities, with walking, cycling, fishing and wildlife spotting on your doorstep. The picturesque village of Outwell is well-served by shops, restaurants, and pubs. Historic Downham Market (6 miles), dating back to Saxon times, has beautiful buildings to discover, walks along the River Ouse and plenty of independent shops to browse.

Enter this gorgeous two-storey retreat into a large, welcoming, open-plan living area. There is ample comfortable seating to snuggle up on in front of the TV, a bar for evening fun and a pool table for competitive fun. Share laughter and each other’s company as you linger over delicious home-cooked meals at the dining table. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to whip up tasty treats, plus a handy breakfast bar with seating. A second dining area is ideal for a quiet breakfast. A shower room and two en-suite bedrooms – one king-size and one twin – complete the downstairs features. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms – three king-size and one twin – all with en-suite shower rooms. Outside is a wraparound courtyard, a private hot tub, a BBQ, and seating for dining alfresco. This luxurious barn is part of a small complex on the site of an old Benedictine Priory. There is access to an acre of the owner’s land outside for walking or spotting wildlife.

Discover the wide range of attractions, for all ages, in West Norfolk. The historic towns of King’s Lynn (19 miles), with its fascinating maritime history and Ely (20 miles), with a cathedral and a country park, are both must-see destinations. Welney Wetlands Wildlife Reserve (10 miles) is lovely for walks and nature enthusiasts, while Denver Windmill (7 miles) is ideal for cream teas.

    • Mrs Jackson

      This is a wonderful venue. Truly impressive: spacious, welcoming, extremely well equipped and very comfortable set in pleasant countryside. We (there were 8 of us & a dog) had a great time. Highly recommended.

    • Mrs Wotton

      Just come back from a weekend getaway with 10 other ladies at this beautiful and well equipped house which was perfect for us! Lots of space, bathrooms in every room (all spotless!) and a massive hot tub to wind down and enjoy a glass of wine in. Everything was like brand new and the house was beautifully decorated!! We have already re booked for next year!!
