Description
The cavernous, stylish Hanworth Barn was originally built in 1846 and has been tastefully restored to offer luxurious, spacious accommodation for large families and groups of friends. With six beautifully finished bedrooms, it sleeps up to twelve guests and is also pet friendly. You are very welcome to take two of your furry friends to share your holiday.
Hanworth Barn is set within its own beautiful grounds at the heart of an historical farming estate. It is close to the hamlet of Thurgarton, just a mile from the picturesque village of Aldborough and five miles from the seaside town of Cromer. Surrounded by glorious countryside, you really have the best of both worlds at Hanworth Barn, total privacy and tranquility yet you are also within arms reach of some of the best of North Norfolk’s delights.
Steeped in history, the main open plan living space of Smarden Barn is a timber framed cathedral of good taste and sophistication. Under a full-length vaulted ceiling and exposed original beams, all with incredible craftsmanship, you will find a modern well-equipped kitchen, a wonderful dining area and a lounge space with sumptuous sofas arranged around the log burning stove. One whole wall of this magnificent space is made up of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, offering incredible natural light and access to the rear garden. This is a wonderful social space where guests can keep the chef company, families can enjoy board games and afternoon tea can be taken in front of the fire on chilly days. In addition, Hanworth Barn enjoys a further vast sitting room with comfy sofas around an open fire. It features a huge picture window on one side and French doors on the other, opening onto the south facing terrace. This is a bright and airy space and perfect when you have large groups and not everyone wants to be doing the same thing. Perhaps you may want to take your time with the Sunday newspapers quietly. The views from all of the rooms in this sprawling house offer beautiful views. Also on the ground floor is a utility/laundry room, a shower room and the master bedroom suite.
Hanworth Barn has been wonderfully transformed to provide fabulously flexible accommodation. A number of the bedrooms offer zip and link beds which can be set up as super kings or twin beds. The delightful ground floor master bedroom offers a king-size, four poster bed, an en-suite bathroom and patio doors that lead to its own terrace. How magical! The first floor is home to another four splendid bedrooms and two bathrooms. One has a king-size bed, two have super king beds that can be twins plus there is a bunk room, ideal for the children in your party. Finally, the last bedroom is tucked away in the eaves and reached via a separate staircase. It again offers a super king bed that is convertible to twin beds. Each of the spacious bedrooms are decorated with calm, neutral palettes.
Outside, the enclosed pretty garden is mostly lawn. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace using the barbecue and enjoying the Norfolk sunshine. Within the grounds you will find a tennis court where you can perfect your serve and plenty of lovely walks directly from the barn. /n Security deposit /n £500 to be paid prior to arrival and to be refunded in full subject to a damage inspection on departure /n Arrival time /n 4pm /n Departure time /n 10am /n Energy costs included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Internet access? /n Yes, Wi-Fi included in the rental price /n Changeover day /n Friday /n Minimum stay /n Please note that there is a 3-night minimum stay, this may be increased to 7-nights across peak dates /n Pets welcome? /n A maximum of 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed on request for an additional charge of £25 per dog, per stay.
