Separate Toilet.. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate. Welcome pack. Enclosed back garden with patio and garden furniture. Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Tucked away in the charming North Norfolk village of Barney, this beautifully restored former bakehouse offers a unique blend of character and contemporary comfort. Renovated to an exceptionally high standard, the interiors have been thoughtfully styled in a sleek, whitewashed fisherman’s aesthetic, while preserving the building’s original quirks. Wonky walls, exposed beams, and bespoke handcrafted details—such as the stair handrails—add warmth and personality throughout.
On the ground floor, guests can unwind in the cosy snug living room, complete with a woodburner for cooler evenings. A separate dining room provides a welcoming space for shared meals, while the spacious, light-filled galley kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and entertaining. A standout feature is the tranquil summer room overlooking the garden—perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying morning coffee—with the added flexibility of a sofa bed for children. A large walk-in shower room is also conveniently located downstairs. Upstairs, you’ll find a double bedroom and a twin room, both showcasing striking original beams, along with a separate WC. Outside, there is an enclosed garden ideal for families, and a shared driveway offering parking for two cars.
Barney itself is a peaceful and picturesque village, ideally positioned for exploring the very best of North Norfolk. Surrounded by rolling countryside, it offers a true sense of rural escape while being just a short drive from the stunning coastline. The nearby Georgian town of Holt, only a few minutes away, is a highlight of the area, known for its independent boutiques, art galleries, cafés, and excellent restaurants. Its charming streets and welcoming atmosphere make it perfect for a leisurely afternoon of browsing and dining.
The North Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is within easy reach and offers some of the most unspoilt beaches in the country. From the vast sandy expanses of Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea to the dramatic salt marshes and dunes of Blakeney, there is plenty to explore. Wildlife enthusiasts will be drawn to Blakeney Point, where boat trips provide the chance to see the resident seal colonies up close.
For those who enjoy walking and cycling, the surrounding countryside and coastal paths offer endless opportunities to get outdoors and take in the scenery. Food lovers will also be well catered for, with a wealth of excellent pubs, farm shops, and seafood restaurants showcasing the region’s local produce.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a base for coastal adventures, or simply a place to unwind in style, this former bakehouse in Barney provides the perfect setting to experience the beauty and charm of North Norfolk.
