Description

Set along a private driveway between Holt and Edgefield, The Old Dairy is a beautifully converted single-storey barn surrounded by countryside yet just moments from Holt’s renowned independent shops, cafés, restaurants and the vast woodland walks. It offers the best of North Norfolk living, with the coastline and Gresham’s School just minutes away.

Approached via a long private drive and secure five-bar gate, a substantial gravel driveway provides extensive parking for numerous vehicles, while the generous covered car port offers additional sheltered parking and storage.

Finished to a high standard throughout, the barn is defined by its impressive, vaulted ceilings, generous proportions and abundance of natural light. The stunning sitting room forms the heart of the home, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, a contemporary wood-burning stove and doors opening onto the gardens beyond.

The accommodation includes three spacious double bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower room, alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. A separate utility room adds practicality to the layout.

Outside, landscaped gardens wrap around the property, offering a variety of spaces to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Beyond the car port lies a hidden garden retreat, where breathtaking views stretch across open countryside to a spectacular lake, creating a setting that feels truly special.

The Old Dairy offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle in one of North Norfolk’s most desirable locations.

EDGEFIELD
Centred around its village green and pond, Edgefield is a pretty rural village, nestled in the Norfolk countryside. It’s within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast, Cley-next-the-Sea and Blakeney being 7 miles away, and Norwich is around 19 miles to the south.

Just 3 miles away is the lively Georgian market town of Holt, with a traditional butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer, and its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark which has been run by the same family since 1770. There’s also a collection of chic boutiques and luxe lifestyle stores, and plenty of places to idle over a coffee or bite to eat.

Between Holt and Edgefield lies the Holt Country Park with extensive footpaths enjoyed by dog walkers, and regular family activities in an unspoilt natural setting. Edgefield village has a variety of activities based in the village hall, a church and a popular gastro pub, The Pigs, with luxury spa accommodation.
