Property code: OC-1775

Within easy reach of the coast at Cley (1.5 miles) and the charming Georgian town of Holt (1.5 miles), yet in a tranquil spot, this property offers the best of both worlds. Browse Holt’s independent shops, restaurants, and galleries, then hop on to the Poppy Line Heritage railway for a journey by steam or diesel train to the delightful seaside town of Sheringham (7 miles). Stroll along the promenade, admire the colourful beach huts and enjoy a paddle on the sandy beach. Or pack a picnic for a walk through more than 100 acres of woodland in Holt Country Park (2 miles). The pretty village of Cley (4 miles) has a shingle beach and a nature reserve, with a panoramic view of the wide skies and surrounding marshes.

Original brick walls and exposed white beams provide a complementary backdrop to the neutral tones of the barn’s sleek, contemporary interior. Take it easy on the comfortable sofa and chairs while you plan tomorrow’s outing, watch the Smart TV, use the Blu-ray player or enjoy the games and books provided. Complete the cosy atmosphere by lighting the elegant wood burner. A white table and seating for six in the dining area and a streamlined kitchen continue the theme of sophisticated simplicity. Cook up a storm, with an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, wine fridge, and dishwasher at your disposal. Snuggle up under the furry bedspread on a super-king-size bed in the main bedroom, with its own Smart TV and an impressive en-suite with a bath, walk-in shower area and WC. The second bedroom has twin beds and the third has a single bed with a pull-out bed below, while the bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC. A utility room in a separate building houses a washer/dryer.

If the weather’s too good to eat indoors, a private patio to the front of the property provides a table, chairs, and a handy BBQ. Outside, shared play areas for children include a large lawn, enclosed by hedges, and a woodland area with swings and a slide. Youngsters will make a beeline for the enormous barn (unheated) which has a new lease of life as a games complex. Inside, find tennis and football tables, giant draughts, a dartboard, and a snooker table, with sofas for adults and a separate play area for the under-fives.

We had a great time in Bixes Barn, very comfortable, very clean and it had everything we needed. Very well situated to visit the lovely Holt and surrounding areas and beaches. The walk in shower was a bonus as one in our family is not very mobile. I would thoroughly recommend this to all with families young and not so young.
