About this property
Situated on the outskirts of the charming village of Outwell and part of a small complex, this fabulous barn conversion occupies the site of an old Benedictine Priory. Cleverly combining elements of old and new to create a welcoming holiday home, this is the ideal spot for families or groups of six with their travelling pups.
Step into the luxurious open-plan living space, bathed in natural light, creating a sociable environment for quality time with loved ones. The well-equipped kitchen allows you to prepare sumptuous meals, and the breakfast bar is ideal for quick bites or casual dining. In warmer months, open the bi-folding doors in the lounge area to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. A convenient utility/cloakroom completes this floor. At the end of the day, head upstairs to one of three thoughtfully decorated bedrooms, including two king-size bedrooms and a twin bedroom. The master bedroom offers panoramic countryside views and an en-suite shower room. The spacious family bathroom, with a free-standing tub and separate shower, rounds off the property’s inside Outside, your private courtyard provides an ideal setting for afternoon lounging, pre-dinner drinks, and stargazing from the 6-seater hot tub. Fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco against a backdrop of rolling fields.
Surrounded by an acre of shared land and quiet lanes for walking and biking, this location offers a tranquil escape from daily life.
