Wild Meadow Barn, Aylsham

About this property

Standing proudly on a raised position with spectacular views across the Bure Valley, surrounded entirely by a combination of woodland, lake, wildflower meadow and pasture, Wild Meadow Barn awaits your discovery. This sumptuous, luxury retreat allows hot tub hire, and there is a sunken fire pit that offers its guests a privileged window upon this wild landscape and direct access to bridleways and walking routes, allowing you a rare freedom to roam, explore and uncover the secrets of wild Norfolk.

As you enter Wild Meadow Barn, the calm and tranquillity of the surrounding landscape is complimented by the design and the furnishing within the house. A generous, open-plan living area, comprised of sitting room, kitchen and dining area forms the 'hub' of the house. From here, you're able to access the enclosed garden and outdoor dining area through one of the many bi-fold doors that seamlessly join the two areas. The kitchen is a gourmets delight, with built in ovens, electric hob, coffee machine and of selection of fridges, freezers. For private dining options, the owner has a chef that will be available for in-house catering. Enquire with the team for more details.

Five bedrooms have been appointed with luxury bedding and super-king beds (some of which can be made into twins upon request), allowing all of your group to look forward to a relaxing nights rest. Three of the four bedrooms on the ground floor offer direct access to the garden via their french doors, perfect for a coffee watching over a glorious sunrise. All bedrooms are accompanied by en-suite bathrooms, so no guest needs to be without. The pinnacle of the accommodation is found in the first floor bedroom, where you have a view over the wood, comfortable seating and the largest of the en-suite bathrooms. Perfect for a celebration!

Outside, the special nature of the location really comes to the fore. On every side you are surrounded by countryside, with a carefully looked after wild flower meadow offering a natural buffer. In the warmer months, guests can walk out into the meadow and set up with a picnic, or simply enjoy the constant activity of the native wildlife. For the more observant, you really must look to the skies for barn owls, red kites and kestrels while, underneath, Holly Blue butterflies race over the grassland. Adjacent to the property is an eight acre lake (without fish), in a woodland setting, which provides opportunities for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. Please be aware that the use of the lake is at your own risk and equipment is not provided. Bicycle hire can be arranged locally, as well as hot tub hire, subject to the rental cost and to a £50 charge direct to the owner. A wonderful example of what makes this rural part of Norfolk so special.

Within the enclosed garden area, the owners have set up sun loungers, dining furniture and a charcoal barbecue, beyond which there is also a fire pit that is well sheltered from the wind.
