A group of three barn conversions, in a horseshoe layout around a shared courtyard, on a 15 acre, Victorian working sheep farm in the village of Besthorpe. These delightful properties have been renovated to a high standard to offer luxurious accommodation. Each property boasts exposed beams, oak floors, a well-equipped Shaker style kitchen, ensuite facilities and access to the courtyard, perfect for an evening drink. Within easy reach is the market town of Wymondham, while Banham Zoo is just 7 miles away, offering a great day out. With the medieval city of Norwich within an easy drive, with its two fine cathedrals and Norman castle, this is a great location for an enjoyable break.
The small village of Besthorpe occupies a lovely, isolated position, just 3 miles from Wymondham. The village offers a lovely farm shop selling locally produced meat and an impressive 14th Century church, while Besthorpe Hall's Tudor gardens afford wonderful floral displays. The attractive market town of Wymondham boasts a 12th Century abbey, a 15th Century pub and a selection of lovely shops, while motor racing enthusiasts can enjoy the fast pace at nearby Snetterton race track. Take a short drive to the fabulous Banham Zoo or travel a little further afield to the enchanting Thetford Forest, a haven for walkers and home to the excellent Go Ape high-wire adventure park.
