Boathouse Barn | Secluded Riverside Property Set in Countryside Grounds

Nestled by the River Bure in the Broads National Park this beautifully revitalized 3-bedroom 17th Century Barn can accommodate up to 6 guests.

Boathouse Barn is set on 15 acres of private land and features its own river access offering guests a chance to escape to the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. Those looking for a more active holiday can even canoe/paddle board to a local pub directly from the property! Many beautiful countryside walks are also available right on your doorstep.

With direct river access, stunning views, beautiful gardens and a tennis court, this is a truly fantastic property like no other.

Private on-site parking is included.


THE SPACE

With loving renovation and careful interior design the level of detail that has gone into creating this home leaves little to be desired.

Step through the front door of Boathouse Barn into a huge open plan kitchen and living space with a dining area for 6 guests. The kitchen revolves around a gorgeous central island providing a generous amount of worktop space alongside a sink and draining board. It's fully equipped for all your cooking needs and provides an extensive range of kitchen amenities. There is also a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room.

The wonderfully bright open plan space extends further into a living area with large coffee table, two armchairs and a comfortable sofa. There’s also a flat screen smart TV mounted to the wall.

Double doors open out onto a delightful patio and sitting area. The perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or spend a balmy summer evening.

There’s a twin bedroom downstairs which offers two single beds and a door providing direct access to the outside. The Master bedroom is upstairs, offering a super king-sized bed as well as a private bathroom with a shower. The third bedroom is a twin room featuring a unique and quirky window which looks over the dining area from the bedroom (see the pictures!). These beds are "zip and click" so can be set up as a king size bedroom if preferred, please let us know at the time of booking.

The property has a downstairs family bathroom, a separate shower room as well as the ensuite shower room to the Master bedroom.

There is a private garden for your exclusive use however there is also access to woodland and a water meadow with attractive views over the River Bure with the associated wildlife and plant life of the Broads. Wonderful snowdrops emerge early on in the year followed by daffodils and then wildflowers. You can sometimes see otters, king fishers and other river birds along the river. This property is peaceful and a great choice for nature and garden lovers alike. Feel free to also enjoy the on-site tennis court!

Whether it’s the open plan living space, the island in the kitchen or perhaps it’s the living room layout, this house feels as though it was designed to encourage social interaction, a fabulous space for bringing families and friends together - away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

A magical weekend away
Our stay was simply amazing. I don't have one negative comment. Beautiful location, a really stunning property, the hosts were incredibly friendly too. I can't rate the accommodation highly enough - nothing was missing and we even got a welcome packet of cookies. Very, very, very positive experience.

Stay at Boathouse Barn
Excellent accommodation and surroundings. The boathouse barn was well equipped with everything you would expect and the owners provided all the information we needed. Perfectly suited our group of 6 being made up of my husband and I and our 2 sons and their new wives (plus 2 dogs). Good walking, access to water sports and the tennis court made the stay so enjoyable for us all. Thank you

One of the best UK breaks ever
Great property and location. Didn’t need to venture very far as there was much to appreciate and enjoy at the barn house. The house is clean and furnished to a high spec. We made good use of the tennis courts too, in between water sports and generally relaxing. There were good walks, runs and cycle routes from the place. So overall everything you would want from a holiday home.

Despite the very wet weather all weekend, we all had a wonderful stay. The property is very impressive with everything you could want. The location is amazing although due to the weather we didn’t get to explore. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back .

Fabulous riverside retreat
Beautiful house in a fantastic location, next to a stream. The owners were very welcoming & helpful. Plenty of options for active time: tennis court, canoeing/ paddle boarding on the river, cycling nearby lanes, or just sit with a G&T watching the kingfishers & ducks. House was really well laid out, fitted & kitted out. A nice social space to cook for the family, great fun for our 14-78 year old group.
