The space A fabulous brick and flint barn conversion found in the peaceful village location of Great Ryburgh, The Barn features enclosed south-facing courtyard garden with a hot tub for ultimate relaxation. With a well stocked shop within a short walking distance, and just a 20-minute drive to the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, this hideaway is the ideal base from which to explore North Norfolk. Built in 1800, and converted in the 1980s, The Barn was brought further up to date in 2021 with the painting of exterior windows and by banishing the traditional 'all brown' interiors. Now transformed, it is light and bright with soft colours and an easy mix of traditional and contemporary country-style furniture and furnishings throughout, and is an absolute treat. A double height entrance hallway leads through to a lovely comfortable sitting room, with a dining area and french doors that open to the courtyard garden to bring the outside in on summer days. For cooler times of the year, there's a wood burning stove to light to keep you extra toasty. The well-equipped fitted kitchen is next door and has a small table and seating area - an ideal spot to enjoy an early morning cup of coffee or a snack. Tucked away at the other end of the hallway is the king-size master bedroom with an adjoining shower room. Take the open return staircase to the first floor, and you will find two further bedrooms (a double and twin) at either end of the barn with a shared family bathroom sitting between the two. Outside the rear courtyard garden has a choice of seating areas - a ground level paved area for outdoor dining and also a spacious raised deck with a gazebo providing a relaxed undercover seating area offering some shade from the sun and a hot tub. This lovely detached rural hideaway will appeal to multi-generational families, couples and friends, and your dog can enjoy it too. Great Ryburgh is a friendly village and offers a well-connected base for exploring further afield, be it discovering the beautiful North Norfolk coastline, its fantastic beaches and marshes, both teaming with birdlife, or inland Norfolk with its pretty villages, Georgian towns and stunning country houses.
