Chaucer Barn

Norfolk, United Kingdom[view map]

This award-winning barn conversion mixes contemporary and traditional features, resplendent in English oak, heated York stone floors, and boasting a brand-new glass-walled new wing.

Interior

Bedrooms

Nine bedrooms, consisting of five doubles and four twins are scattered on either end of the property. All of the twins can be comfortably made into doubles. Furnished in a colourful shabby-chic style, each bedroom has its own unique design, and those in the new wing have a subtle colour theme. Imported Indian furnishings and modern textiles inject colour, with a suggestion of five-star luxury courtesy of crisp white Egyptian bed linen and fluffy white towels.


Kitchen
The open-plan stone-floored kitchen and oak-beamed morning room is the heart of this stylish self-catering property, and it looks out onto herb garden and terrace. There’s a large dining table under a candelabra, which seats 18. There’s a double Aga and a walk-in larder which includes two fridges and dishwashers.
Living room
The living space is mostly open-plan and perfect for socialising, but still really cosy with plenty of private corners to relax in. In the west wing, there’s an upstairs drawing room that really wows with its stunning views across the green garden to woodland-framed fields in the distance. An open gallery looks down from the first-floor to the main dining area. Tucked in a cosy corner off the kitchen is another sitting room, or snug, with comfortable sofas, an open fire and an oak ceiling – it’s the perfect place to curl up with the papers or a book. In the contemporary east wing, there’s a new games room. There’s also a large adjoining reception room, with another open fire, more striking open-joisted oak ceilings with massive wooden beams and floors. Each room opens west via fully sliding, floor-to-ceiling glass walls onto a York stone patio.
Dining room
The fab banqueting area is part of the kitchen, detailed above.
Other
The games room features table tennis, a darts board and a games cupboard equipped for all ages. The reception room features a large LCD 46" flatscreen television, DVD player and Xbox.

Outdoor

Gardens
With five acres of landscaped grounds in 80 acres of farmland, there’s no shortage of outdoor space. Tree-spotters will particularly appreciate the young arboretum and the extensive woodland areas. You can make the most of long summer evenings and entertain amid this flora-filled splendour thanks to a barbecue and an outdoor dining area.
Parking
There is space for up to 20 cars.
