This elegant barn conversion is the ideal bolthole for a couple in search of peace and quiet in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. Thurgarton is one of the prettiest villages in Norfolk – a truly tranquil, romantic location. Its sister village of Aldborough, with its large village green and cosy pub is just 1 mile away. Head to the traditional seaside town of Sheringham (7 miles) to stroll the promenade or take a ride on the heritage steam railway; or If you’re looking for a romantic feast, go to Cromer (7 miles) to sample its famous crab. Alternatively, take a boat trip from Morston Quay (15 miles) to see the seals in their natural habitat at Blakeney Point. Further afield, head to Wells-next-the-Sea (21 miles) to browse its good mix of shops and eateries and stroll along the pretty fishing boat-lined quay. Visit the historic lifeboats at the RNLI station or head to the beach to get some photos of the traditional multicolour stilted beach huts.
Step inside this single-level property and you’ll find a gracious open-plan living space complete with vaulted ceiling and beams. Cook up a romantic meal for two in the stylish kitchen/dining area and enjoy a long, lazy dinner at the dining table. Afterwards, slip onto the sofa in the sitting area, put on your favourite rom-com and get cosy in front of the wood burner. When it’s time bed, there’s a large king-size bedroom to retire to – again with vaulted ceiling and beams. A bright and fresh shower room with WC rounds off the property’s layout.
