More Details

BARSHAM BARNS lie in a tranquil little river valley about a mile from the medieval village of Little Walsingham but within 5 miles of the North Norfolk coast at Wells-next-the-Sea. Each barn has been converted into a luxury holiday cottage, all are fully equipped and each has a private garden or courtyard.

THE BARNS
The Great East Barn sleeps 14 and was converted from the massive 19th century granary. From the comfort of the first floor sitting room you can gaze out across calm green fields and grazing sheep. In this barn, country meets city by combining designer details with vernacular building techniques. May be booked with Long Meadow to accommodate 22.
July & August Friday to Friday bookings only.

High Barsham sleeps 12 was once a threshing barn but has now been transformed into spacious living accommodation. Bronze lanterns and coloured glass illuminate the embroidered cushions and carved wooden antiques of the interior, combining contemporary detail with a cool and easy eastern influence.

Grey’s Court sleeps 10 is a very spacious single-storey brick and flint building has been converted from the old stables, and has lovely views across undulating meadow to the little Victorian flint church over the valley.

Long Meadow sleeps 8 was most recently the milking parlour and, dating from 1715, is the oldest property on the farm.
