Ivy Barn

About this property

Ivy Barn sits quietly among wide Norfolk skies and open farmland, offering a restful countryside hideaway where days unfold at an unhurried pace. This single-storey barn conversion is ideal for families or friends who appreciate space, scenery and the ease of everything on one level, with thoughtful details throughout to make settling in effortless. At the heart of the barn is a light-filled sitting and dining room, a welcoming place to come together after a day outdoors. Sink into the seating with the Smart TV on, share stories over supper, or simply enjoy the calm of the rural setting. Nearby, the kitchen is well stocked for holiday cooking, with a double oven, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, making longer stays just as comfortable as short breaks.

When you are ready for rest two bedrooms await, both finished with care and comfort in mind. The king-size room opens directly onto the patio through French doors, a lovely spot to greet the morning with a coffee and birdsong, while the twin bedroom also benefits from its own Smart TV, making it perfect for children or additional guests. A neatly presented shower room completes the layout, and oil-fired underfloor heating keeps the barn warm and welcoming whatever the season. Outside, the lawn and patio provide plenty of space for outdoor meals, games or simply sitting back and taking in the surrounding countryside.

The garden is open rather than enclosed, blending naturally into the wider landscape, and off-road parking is available close by for added ease. Weston Longville is a lovely village with a church and a local pub close to the town of Taverham. Norwich offers striking architecture at the cathedral and castle, along with independent shopping and cafés tucked away in The Lanes. Families will enjoy a day out at Roarr Dinosaur Adventure near Marsham, while walkers and cyclists can follow the gentle trails of Marriott’s Way through woodland and open countryside. Over in King’s Lynn, the historic waterfront, True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum and The Walks parkland provide a mix of heritage and green space.

Ivy Barn is a wonderful choice for those looking to slow down, breathe in the countryside air and enjoy Norfolk at its most peaceful.

Taverham is a quaint village resting between Norwich, Dereham and Fakenham, in Norfolk. This charming village has roots dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086 and was in the 19th century a major producer of paper; today the village houses a variety of supermarkets and pubs and boasts a fantastic location on the outskirts of Norwich and is within reach of the Norfolk Broads and the coast at Walcott and Great Yarmouth. Visitors to the village can venture into the heart of Norwich to explore the history of the surrounding area at The Museum of Norwich at Bridewell, Pull’s Ferry, Cow Tower, Stanger’s Hall and the impressive, hilltop, Normal Norwich Castle. The city is also home to the idyllic and tranquil Plantation Garden where guests can roam through formal flower beds and a variety of trails and Eaton Park which houses 80 acres, a variety of sports pitches and wildlife activities. Taverham is a fantastic base to explore all Norfolk has to offer.
