This spacious barn, which is bursting with character and ideally placed to enjoy the best of East Anglia, is the ideal base for couples or families to come together to celebrate any occasion.
If you’re looking for a charming property where you can come together with your loved ones, you’ll love this former cart shed in the peaceful village of Bridgham. Surrounded by vast green fields and lush forests, it sleeps six people across three bedrooms and welcomes one canine companion. Spend your days mountain biking in Thetford Forest or exploring the Neolithic flint mines at Grime’s Graves, and your evenings sipping wine in the property’s quaint summer house.
Start your day by taking a stroll out to the property’s two polytunnels. There you’ll find seasonal fruit that you’re welcome to pick if it’s ripe. Head back to the chic kitchen and enjoy a casual breakfast around the table. After a day of losing yourself in the wonder of Thetford Forest, come home, cook up some dinner and get the gang to eat together in the elegant dining room. Alternatively, head out to the patio area, light the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco while you admire the views across the fields. Afterwards, crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp, and chill out in the summer house, or head indoors to curl up in front of the wood burner in the living area. With its high ceilings, exposed beams and garden views, this really is a lovely room to relax in. When the day is done, there three wonderful bedrooms to choose from.
Get on your bike at Thetford Forest (7 miles), which boasts hundreds of miles of mountain-biking trails. Or visit the only open Neolithic flint mine in Britain at Grime’s Graves (12 miles). These pits were dug over 5,000 years ago and you can go underground to see the jet-black flint. Alternatively, foodies will just love checking out Wyken Farmers’ Market (11.5 miles), which is held every Saturday.
