7 Bed Cottage in Aslacton

About this property

Sleeping 14 and with luxury features including a hot tub, tennis court, bicycles to borrow and 33 acres to explore from the doorstep, this beautiful barn is a destination like no other. Set amid gorgeous countryside, it’s perfect for a big group or multi-generational getaway.

Gather nearest and dearest for a stay at this stunning countryside abode. Raising the bar for barn conversions, it combines all the attention to detail you’d expect of high-end boutique accommodation, with a host of features for a fabulous holiday. The wow-factor starts the moment you step into the double-height entrance hall – which has exposed beams, carved columns and a flagstone floor – and follows through to the spacious sitting room where doors on either side give access to the gardens and allow in lots of natural light. Stretch out on the sofas, watch TV or simply catch up with friends and family; your holiday here can be as busy or laid-back as you choose. The kitchen is at the heart of every country home and the one here is sure to be the centre of much activity; there’s an electric Aga to inspire the cooks in your party (private catering can be arranged as an alternative) plus a wine cooler fridge and Gaggia bean-to-cup coffee machine for refreshments to suit every taste. Laundry equipment is alongside a chest freezer in the utility room, and for mealtimes there’s elbow room for everyone in the elegant dining room which also has doors onto the courtyard garden. All seven sumptuous bedrooms here have towelling robes, Smart TVs and their own character. On the ground floor one has twin sleigh beds, doors to the courtyard garden and an en-suite shower room, while another has a king-size four-poster bed and doors to the courtyard garden too. There’s a Gothic-styled king-size bedroom with its own en-suite cloakroom, a double bedroom and a further king-sized bedroom with doors to the courtyard garden. A shower room and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower offer convenience and versatility for all. Upstairs, the galleried landing area has seating and views over the pond and hot tub outdoors. Two bedrooms share the first-floor layout – one has a vaulted ceiling, king-size bed, Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard garden and an en-suite shower room, while the other has twin beds, a vaulted ceiling, full-length windows overlooking the pond, and an en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath. The outside space here is equally impressive – enjoy food and drinks al fresco in the courtyard garden, chill out in the garden room or stretch your legs with a stroll around the extended grounds where there’s a lawn, BBQ area, hot tub, pond with decking, access to the owner's tennis courts (racquets and balls are supplied) and 33 acres of grassland to explore. Borrow a bike or bring your own (secure storage is available) and if you’re a horse owner, livery can also be arranged.

If you can tear yourself away from this gorgeous holiday home, in the next village Tibenham offers a gliding club where you can soar through the skies and see the breath taking views from above of East Anglian countryside. the historic city of Norwich is 15 miles away and full of shops, bars and eateries to satisfy every taste, or enjoy a day out or evening out on the dry ski slopes which is great for adults or children. Or perhaps if you enjoy spending your time out on the golf course, visit Dunston Hall for a 18 hole course, or Barnham Broom where they have 2, 18 hole courses to play. If you are on a family getaway why not take your kids to Banham Zoo where you can find animals from giraffes, tigers and penguins. Locally, enjoy rural walking and cycling with your party beneath the vast Norfolk skies.
