2 Bed Barn

About this property

2 Bed Barn is a charming countryside bolthole tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Barroway Drove near Downham Market, offering a laid-back escape for families, friends, or couples keen to slow the pace and enjoy rural Norfolk at its best. Set across one level, this converted barn blends its rustic heritage with all the essentials needed for an easy, comfortable stay. Step inside to find a well-equipped kitchen, kitted out with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, kettle and toaster, spot on for preparing everything from a quick breakfast to a hearty supper after a day out. The adjoining living area brings everyone together, with space to stretch out in front of the TV, put some music on, or simply chat over a cup of tea.

WiFi is included too, so you can check maps, plan outings, or unwind with your favourite shows in the evening. Two bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, a double and a twin, making the property ideal for different group set-ups. A convenient shower room with basin and WC serves both, along with an additional cloakroom for those busy mornings when everyone’s getting ready at once. Outside, the enclosed garden is a real perk, complete with outdoor furniture and a barbecue for relaxed alfresco meals when the weather’s behaving itself. Off-road parking is provided, and by prior arrangement you can even bring along a well-behaved dog (charge applies), making this a friendly option for those travelling with four-legged companions.

Stabling and grazing can also be arranged for horse owners seeking a riding break in the Norfolk countryside. Venture out to explore Downham Market, a traditional Fenland town with independent cafés and a welcoming atmosphere, or head towards the Sandringham Estate for a day out steeped in royal history. The Norfolk coastline is easily reached by car, offering sweeping beaches and nature reserves, while walkers and cyclists will find miles of open countryside to enjoy right on the doorstep. 2 Bed Barn promises a relaxed, comfortable stay in a peaceful rural setting, an ideal base for discovering the charm and variety of Norfolk.

The rural Saxon market town of Downham Market is one of the oldest in Norfolk, and is known locally as the gateway to the Fens, renowned for its network of waterways. Downham Market boasts an attractive black and white clock tower in its main square, and hosts a weekly outdoor market on Fridays and Saturdays selling mostly local produce, along with an additional fortnightly Saturday collectables and craft market. On the fringe of the town is the mainline railway station with links to Ely, Cambridge, King's Cross London and King's Lynn. Discover the great outdoors along the Fen Rivers Way footpaths enjoying distinctive Fens landscape rich in history and wildlife, leading to the River Great Ouse with dramatic open sky and the flood banks that protect the low lying Fens. Just a short drive away is Welney's Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust nature reserve, popular with birdwatchers, where you can view nature in action throughout the seasons, including dragonflies, wildflowers and a wealth of water birds. Other interesting places to visit include Ely Cathedral, the historic maritime town of King's Lynn, Wisbech, the Queen's Sandringham Estate, along with the west Norfolk coastal villages, towns and rspb sites.
