Overview
Property code: KT188

Surrounded by rolling countryside, this rurally situated converted barn is hugely spacious and offers delightful holiday accommodation for four people. It can also be hired out with its neighbouring cottage, Alethorpe Barn, for larger group escapes. The open-plan living space downstairs is flooded with light and has plenty of room for socialising together, whilst on the first floor there are two large bedrooms both with en-suites. Outside you'll be able to enjoy peace and seclusion from the paved patio and fields beyond, with plenty of off-road parking. It's the perfect rural hideaway in North Norfolk.

Just opposite the accommodation you'll find Pensthorpe Nature Park, where you can discover lots about the environment, animals, and conservation. The traditional market town of Fakenham is also just over 2 miles from the barn, boasting plenty of shops and restaurants for you to discover, as well as its infamous market which is not to be missed if you're in the area!

The North Norfolk coast is slightly further afield where you can enjoy a day together by the sea at either Sheringham (19 miles) or Cromer (22 miles), or head inland to Swaffham (19 miles) to discover one of Norfolk's most famous market towns.

We enjoyed our week at the Barn, the house is very spacious reflecting the openness of the location it enjoys. The patio doors and windows allow plenty of light and sunshine into the living space with 360 views of the rural setting. Despite its apparent remoteness it is a pleasant rural walk into Fakenham and gives easy access by car to the north cRead moreoast areas. We would certainly revisit the Barn. Hide

Great location, very peaceful. Lovely to be able to watch wildlife from all windows. Very spacious and comfortably equipped. Ideal location to reach all areas easily whether you enjoy the beach or prefer walks in the country or shopping in Norwich. This was our 5th visit, although the first for several years, already planning a return.

Wanstead Barn is a lovely and extremely spacious property. One of the main attractions is the beautiful location overlooking fields where hares and deer are frequently seen. It is very conveniently located for visiting several attractions both coastal and inland. No wonder so many guests return which is the best recommendation

I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and serene location. The barn had everything we needed and was bright, modern and spacious. sitting out of an evening with a glass of wine watching the sun go down and the hares run past was the perfect end to a day!

As someone who has always aspired to live in the middle of a field, I was in my element, the accommodation is probably one of the best we've stayed in, very comfortable and as far as the equipment is concerned, we were short of nothing. It was a very pleasant stay and we'll likely return at some stage.
