Dating back to the 1850s, The Dairy is a stunning conversion of a traditional Norfolk barn located on the edge of the much sought after, picturesque rural village of Great Massingham. Within close proximity of the excellent village pub, this hideaway is well equipped for family holidays, and ideally located for exploring rural and coastal Norfolk. Dog owners will enjoy the fully enclosed exercise paddock, and you can bring your bikes too.
Instantly impressive, The Dairy at West Heath Barn is positioned right on the Peddars Way, the famous Roman Road that leads to the North Norfolk coast, and set in 4.5 acres of private grounds, complete with resident alpacas. The barn's location makes it an exceptional choice for walkers, cyclists, and those who prefer to explore by car. Set in panoramic countryside, the barn is a perfect retreat for a tranquil holiday retreat amongst nature, whilst also being close enough to benefit from the wonderful amenities at the heart of Great Massingham village.
The conversion of the original was of the highest quality and furnished to a very high standard. The well-equipped farmhouse kitchen provides all that guests need to cater at home, and with so much delicious local produce available nearby, rustling up a delicious feast will be a must. Enjoy the fruits of your labour as you gather together around the dining table to create lasting holiday memories over good food and conversation. The spacious yet cosy sitting room features comfortable seating under exposed beams, and with a wood burning stove adding extra heat and ambient light, there is no better spot for nestling into after a day spent in the big outdoors. The master bedroom has an inviting king-size bed, that can be converted into twin beds on request, and is served by an en suite shower room. Guests can enjoy access from this bedroom to the sunny outdoor seating area. Dual aspect bedroom one has a further king-size bed and en suite bathroom offering bath with shower over. Outside, there is a courtyard garden with patio and barbecue area for dining al fresco. A shared quad courtyard is also accessible from the barn. Ample parking is available on the gravel driveway. Dogs are very welcome at The Dairy, and guests have access to the fully enclosed exercise paddock.
Walk 25-minutes into Great Massingham to experience one of Norfolk's prettiest villages, famous for the two large duck ponds at the centre, as well as the popular gastro pub, The Dabbling Duck. Walking from the barn is peaceful and traffic free. History lovers will enjoy time spent at HM The King's Sandringham Estate, Castle Rising and Houghton Hall which can all be reached in 15-minutes by car. Birdwatchers can reach the RSPB reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell in under half an hour. The vast and sandy beach at Brancaster is within a half hour car journey, with other spectacular beaches and walks at Hunstanton, Holme-next-the-Sea, Thornham, Brancaster Staithe, and Burnham Overy Staithe easily reachable from the barn.
