5 Bed Cottage in Clenchwarton

About this property

Boasting superb amenities and lovely rural views, this beautifully converted barn offers the chance for a very special get-together with loved ones – perfect for a friends’ reunion or several families together. Located just a 0.5-mile stroll from the village pub, it’s perfectly positioned only 3.5 miles from the heart of King’s Lynn, with its historic houses, superb shopping, and choice of takeaways and restaurants. The royal estate of Sandringham is only 10.5 miles away, where you can visit the house and gardens (between April and October) or explore the parkland on foot or by bike. The Victorian seaside resort of Heacham is just 17.5 miles away – the heart of Norfolk’s lavender-growing industry, close to the Peddar’s Way and Norfolk Coast Path, and home to two fine beaches with shallow, sheltered waters. Within 25 miles you can also visit Hunstanton, Old Hunstanton, Thornham, and Burnham Market.

An extensive renovation has retained the fabulous original features of this handsome barn, including a majestic exposed-oak frame, while all kinds of modern amenities have been added to ensure a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Step into the entrance hall/boot room, and if you have muddy pets, you can make straight for the utility room, where there are not only laundry facilities but also a dog bath/shower. Head into the open-plan living space, which is zoned to include social spots for everyone to get together and unwind. The kitchen includes a range cooker to help the chef get busy with gourmet feasts, and there’s a handy dishwasher, plus a Nespresso coffee machine for that all-important morning wake-up. Spend time together lingering over delicious meals around the large dining table, and then head to the comfortable seating, where you can enjoy a book, listen to music, or stream a show on the Smart TV. Also at ground-floor level is the pool house, which includes a heated swimming pool, hot tub, plunge pool, Turkish steam room, sauna, and shower. The sauna and steam room have glass walls to show off the fabulous country views, and bi-fold doors from the pool room allow easy access to the garden. Five fantastic bedrooms are spread across both floors, and each room features an en-suite shower room and a flexible super-king-size bed that converts to twins on request.

Bi-fold doors lead from the kitchen to the covered patio/outdoor kitchen, where you’ll find relaxed seating and a dining set. Make the most of the pizza oven, BBQ, and fire pit as you dine alfresco in the sunshine or under the stars. The large garden is safely enclosed and includes extensive lawned areas as well as another outdoor seating area with a fire pit. Swing peacefully in the hammocks, which have views of the fields and the Highland cattle, or enjoy the outdoor hot tub and plunge pool. The wider farm site encompasses 7 acres and guests are welcome to stroll the on-site footpaths that circle the fields. You may even arrange with the owner to take the cows for a walk. The property offers private parking for up to five cars.
