‘The Walnut’ is a beautiful barn conversion, deep in the Norfolk countryside but close to lots of wonderful beaches. Converted in 2018, The Walnut is a single storey barn conversion in a peaceful, rural location where the views across the fields from the bedrooms, lounge and courtyard are uninterrupted and far-reaching. The views and huge Norfolk skies can also be enjoyed from the warm, bubbling, luxuriousness of the hot tub – what could be better than laying back in the hot tub after a long walk along one of our local beaches…….and relax! And how about stargazing, watching shooting stars, the space station – we’ve seen them all in the night skies from the hot tub while listening to the local tawny owls calling. There are quiet footpaths nearby; long walks, short walks, circular walks; here are a couple of routes
Walk to the local dog friendly pub – Lessingham Star – route is here
Walk to the local beach – Cart Gap – route is here

The kitchen has all the usual appliances with an electric Aga, combination microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster, kettle and 34 litre counter-top freezer and there’s plenty of room for two or more people to cook together.

The Lounge is part of the open-plan living area. There are two comfortable sofas, large flat-screen QLED Smart TV, family games and books. There are bi-fold doors which open onto the fully enclosed courtyard.
The Courtyard is enclosed with a 6ft wall on one side separating it from the rest of the site and 3ft wooden fencing around to allow uninterrupted views across the Norfolk countryside. In one corner is the five-seater hot tub with 23 jets that relieve tension in targeted areas including your back, neck, shoulders and calves and the directional Hydromassage jets allow you to customise your massage to give you soothing comfort exactly where you need it.
There is enough seating for nine at the outside coffee table which converts into a dining table for al-fresco eating. The large parasol has solar-powered lighting for an evening under the stars.
