Iken Barn - Two Bedroom House, Sleeps 4

Situated on the edge of the magnificent Norfolk Broads within rolling open fields, this family-friendly countryside retreat is perfect for anyone keen to uncover the waterways, walks and scenery of Norfolk. The unspoilt Norfolk Broads village of Barton Turf is home to plenty of scenic walks to explore on foot or by bike, as well as a staithe and boatyard which provides direct access to Barton Broad’s rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery. The local pub that serves food all day and community shop for all your essentials are both 300 yards away. Enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside on the gloriously golden sands at Sea Palling (8 miles) or Winterton-on-Sea (16 miles), where you might also catch a glimpse of the seals bobbing along the tide. Soak up the medieval atmosphere of the city of Norwich, 13 miles away, with its historic cathedral and plethora of independent boutiques.
Upon entering through the shared entrance, hang up your coats and remove your walking shoes in the cloakroom before making your way into the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home. This delightfully social space combines original features, including beautiful, exposed beams and brickwork, with a trendy contemporary colour palette and decor. There is ample room for your entire party to relax on the comfortable sofa, plan tomorrow’s adventure at the dining table, and whip up a storm in the elegant kitchen. The wonderfully high ceiling creates a delightful sense of space, while the roaring wood burner sets the perfect scene for complete relaxation. Retracing your steps through the entrance hallway, you’ll discover a convenient utility space. After a long day’s adventure, both of the cosy double bedrooms offer a tranquil haven to retreat to, along with shared access to the Jack-and-Jill family bathroom, which exudes contemporary sophistication.
Spanning multiple levels, the enclosed front garden presents a lovely, peaceful spot to enjoy the fresh countryside air with a relaxing pond and tasteful landscaping.
