Description

Long Barn details

Privately situated within the grounds of Felmingham Hall, a fine Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house, are Felmingham Hall Barns: two award-winning holiday properties with a stunning 18th century barn conversion. Individually Long Barn and Dovecote can cater for parties of up to 10 or six respectively. Quietly located at the end of a long drive off a country lane, the barns stand within their own south-facing walled garden, in a tranquil setting, surrounded by farmland. With a private courtyard with covered parking for five cars to the front, the barns are approached via a grape and laburnum covered pergola.
Once the home of William Talman, architect of Chatsworth and Master of the Works to the court of James I, Felmingham Hall was built in 1569 and is one of the earliest examples of Elizabethan architecture in North Norfolk.

It stands in unspoilt countryside not far from the National Trust's Blickling and Felbrigg estates, and is an ideal location from which to explore the renowned coastline of Norfolk, only 20 minutes by car. The famous Weaver's Way network of country walks is a 10-minute stroll from the barns and the east coast just 15 minutes by car. From Felmingham the picturesque Georgian towns of Holt and Burnham Market, the seaside villages of Cley (with its famous bird sanctuaries) and Stiffkey, and the traditional English resort towns of Cromer (with its Hotel de Paris), Sheringham and Wells are all within easy reach by car and offer everything from delicatessens and antique shops to restaurants and theatres.
Forming a major part of this conservation award-winning conversion, Long Barn is a light and spacious holiday retreat featuring a huge 30' high vaulted drawing room with imposing fireplace, underfloor heating and double doors to front and rear gardens and terrace. From the adjoining dining room, double doors lead onto a covered loggia - for al fresco dining - which overlooks the private south-facing walled garden with views to the Hall. Should catering be of interest it can be arranged through Julie Abbs Catering on 01328 701939 / 07798 818448 or visit www.julieabbs.co.uk.
