About this property
Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the Norfolk village of Weybourne, is this beautiful old dairy barn, Timbers. Approached via main country roads and the beautiful coast road that runs along this stunning AONB, Timbers is a charming escape for up to six guests and their canine companions. After a day of wandering the local area, kick off your walking boots and coats in the hallway area before getting to know your new home-from-home. Immediately you’ll notice the high ceilings and gorgeous beam work throughout, with lots of natural lighting uplifting the space. Off the hallway and up a couple of steps is the living space, complete with two sofas, a woodburning stove and a TV, perfect for an evening of films. At the rear of the property sits the kitchen, where the designated chef can get to work on a tasty dish whilst the dining table is prepared with crockery and cutlery. On this floor there is also a double bedroom with pretty views towards the sea, ideal for those guests with limited mobility. Upstairs, the other bedrooms are twins in a mezzanine style, with a door that shuts them both off together; the rooms offer fabulous views across towards the sea and the other enjoys views of the surrounding flint and brick cottages. Completing the interior is the ground-floor bathroom, housing bath and shower over so you can best decide how to prepare for the day. Step outside and take advantage of the elevated patio area, complete with seating so you can enjoy alfresco dining whilst admiring those views towards the beach. There is also a communal lawn that is shared with the other barn conversions next to the property. The village of Weybourne is a delightful holiday base, filled with old flint cottages, a friendly pub, The Ship Inn, and a convenience store for grabbing the essentials. Less than half a mile away is the enchanting Weybourne Beach, a steeply shelved beach that produces impressive crashing waves and provides lovely walks atop the cliffs. Avid walkers can spend their days wandering the local footpaths such as Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail. Four miles away lies the market town of Holt, boasting a wealth of independent shops, galleries, antique shops, cafés, pubs, and tea rooms, so there’s something for everyone! Choose Timbers and enjoy a break to this coastal region of Norfolk.
Weybourne is a charming fishing community close to Cromer that may be found on the coast road between Sheringham and Holt. The village is surrounded by arable fields, woods, and heathland and is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, making it a great place to hike along the coast and inland. Along with sea fishing, river excursions to visit the seals, a championship golf course, and numerous other local activities, the coastal roads make for ideal road riding. Weybourne is located in the middle of the Sheringham to Holt Poppy Line, which runs antique diesel and steam trains and provides a "hop on, hop off" service between the two towns during the summer. Visit the Cromer and Sheringham beaches that have earned the Blue Flag, or go birdwatching at Blakeney and Wells.

The general decor of the property can only be described as tired where it now needs a good fresh up and make over, along with a real good clean. It wasn't a cheap weeks rental but whatever it should still be clean, for the money I paid was disappointed to the point we were ready to come back home on the Sat of arrival !. However we bought it around to a point of OK (ish) and made the best of the week. The location is stunning and could not be better placed, just the property needs bringing up to scratch. A real shame.

Very dusty. Kitchen bin had some kind of gloop at the bottom under the bag. Shower head rail hanging off the wall at the top. Kitchen cupboards were dirty inside.

Chipped plates and dirty cups on arrival which had to be washed clean. Step outside needs attention before someone hurts themselves. Timbers sigh needs to be reattached to the wall. ( it only takes a couple of screws ) Insufficient plates and cutlery, stained sheets and dust on most heaters and under the log burner. Shower head needs attention before it falls off the wall This could be a very nice property with a bit of TLC Brilliant Location for the beach and pub.
