DESCRIPTION
Barn Cottage is an attractive two-bedroom period property tucked away in a quite lane on the edge of Burnham Market, it offers flexible accommodation with a separate converted barn providing excellent guest accommodation. The barn also incorporates a large workshop/Studio and single garage which both offer potential for further development (subject to necessary planning permission).
The house is accessed from within the courtyard garden; the front stable style door opens into a small entrance hall with space for coat storage. There is a separate WC leading off this hallway.
The welcoming kitchen/dining room has east aspect and is fitted with a range of painted wooden cabinets; there is an integrated Belling electric oven and hob and plenty of space for a small freestanding dishwasher and fridge freezer too.
The dining area sits at the far end of the room with some original beams, making this the perfect space for family dining and entertaining.
The spacious and cosy sitting room is filled with natural light with French doors leading to the southwest facing courtyard garden, wood burning stove and painted original beams.
Wide stairs lead from here to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a wood panelled family bathroom with bath and shower over and white sanitary wear. The bedrooms both benefit from views out over the garden to farmland beyond.

On the other side of the courtyard garden a barn has been partially converted to create a separate guest or teenage accommodation. The main area is a large vaulted sitting room with exposed brick and flint walls and an impressive fireplace with a generous wood burning stove, wooden flooring and exposed beams. The annexe also includes electric radiators, a double bedroom and a shower room/WC but it does not have a kitchen.
The remaining barn provides a covered outside seating area and a large workshop or studio/garage with steps leading up to a small loft room above.

The Burnhams comprise six villages situated on the North Norfolk Coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boasting miles of sandy beaches and saltmarshes full of birds and wildlife crisscrossed by creeks and harbours.
