About this property
Set in attractive arable countryside only a few miles away from popular Aylsham and Blickling Hall, The Granary in Oulton is a unique Norfolk home that offers memorable stays for up to five people. With three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms, this former granary has been tastefully furnished to ensure that guests can enjoy relaxing breaks in this traditional building.
All of the main living areas are on the ground floor, meaning you can enjoy the cosy sitting room with doors that lead out to the charming courtyard garden if you want to bring in some sunshine and fresh air, or you can gather around the dining table for six. The well-equipped kitchen features an oven, induction hob, Nespresso coffee machine, and a full complement of kitchen and tableware. Whether you're enjoying a morning cup of coffee or preparing a delicious meal together, this space is sure to look after all of your needs.
Upstairs, this charming cottage boasts three bedrooms and one shower room, two of which are appointed with super-king sized beds and all of which have been dressed with crisp white linens and hypoallergenic bedding for a peaceful night's sleep. The family bathroom, located on the ground floor, features a bath with a shower over it, perfect for unwinding after a long day or quickly getting the kids cleaned up.
Outside, there is a pretty courtyard garden that often is a super suntrap. Set up with outdoor furniture and a charcoal barbecue, this is a lovely, quiet space to enjoy a good book or a nice meal. To the front of The Granary there is ample allocated parking for two cars, allowing you to come and go as you please while exploring the rich history of Blickling Hall or the deep history coast. Situated on a working arable farm, The Granary offers views over the meadow and other grazing pasture, providing glimpses of majestic deer, playful hares and elusive foxes. In the early evening, it’s always wise to listen out for Barn Owls as they patrol the hedgerows and fields. The high-pitched screeches are unmistakeable!

The Granary has been converted to a high standard and comfort. Very nice welcome pack especially the homemade cake. If we holiday in North Norfolk again would definitely stay again.

What a fantastic cottage. Immaculate inside, comfy beds and sofas set in a beautiful location. The generous welcome pack included a delicious Victoria sandwich cake and tasty loaf of bread. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

A nice touch was the welcome pack, only comment was that there was no butter and due to the location of the property there are no shops close by. A well-equipped kitchen and comfort throughout the property. If you enjoy peace and quiet with accessible walks The Granary is a good base for that. Norfolk Hideaways were excellent with the necessary information for the smooth running of our holiday.
