    Lindi met us on our arrival and showed us around. She was very helpful and welcoming. We arrived later than expected, after an 8 hour drive, but this was no issue. Property itself is beautiful. Amenities second to none. There were many...

The Threshing Barn is an exquisitely renovated rural sanctuary hidden in the peaceful landscapes of south Norfolk. It is a Grade II listed marvel dating back to 1625 offering a blend of old-world charm and contemporary luxury with all its original beams from the oak of the historic Wymondham Forest Common, which once served the King's Navy circa 1623. This is an idyllic peaceful bolthole for restoring the soul. As you step inside this carefully restored barn, be greeted by an eclectic collection of art and artefacts from around the globe. Every corner tells a story with pieces from India, Africa and beyond, showcasing a captivating blend of cultures. Renovated with meticulous attention to detail, this brand-new barn boasts original beams and a harmonious mix of antique and contemporary furniture. The two floors feature frame and limewash plaster, strengthened by modern engineering, creating an aesthetic that sets it apart. Experience the unique blend of history and modern comfort, as 400-year-old exposed oak beams meet the luxury of underfloor heating, available both upstairs and downstairs. Traverse the modern loft-style walkway, adorned with steel and glass, that overlooks the lower floor, creating an engaging and spacious open-plan environment. The Threshing Barn comprises one king-size en-suite bedroom, two double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms. Marvel at our clear night skies using our telescope from the mezzanine, or lose yourself in music on our outstanding stereo system, boasting perfect acoustics and Bluetooth streaming. With your own private garden, you can open the bifold doors and soak up the sun or dine alfresco using the available BBQ. Relax in the seclusion of your surroundings, dive into a book, experiment in a gourmet chef's kitchen, or simply watch the setting sun through the panoramic western window. The Threshing Barn is not your typical party house; it's a peaceful haven designed for a restful, quiet stay.
We are delighted to be able to share our home with you and if we can be of any help we are next door. We love photography, music, travelling, birding and much more.
A local supermarket is 2 miles away. There are a number of pubs within a 5 mile radius. Local walks across meadows or along quiet lanes. Norfolk beaches are some of the most beautiful in England and only approx 1 hours drive away in all directions. The famous Norfolk Broads that offer boat rides, nature trails and birding are within an hours drive. More information is in a folder in the barn.
