The Great East Barn (sleeps 14) was converted from the massive 19th century granary. From the comfort of the first floor sitting room, where rustic clunch walls set off crisp modern furnishings, you can gaze across calm green fields and grazing sheep. In this barn, country meets city by combining designer details with vernacular building techniques. May be booked with Long Meadow to accommodate 22.

High Barsham (sleeps 12) was once a threshing barn but has now been transformed into spacious living accommodation. Bronze lanterns and coloured glass illuminate the embroidered cushions and wood of the interior, combining contemporary detail with an eastern influence.

Grey’s Court (sleeps 10) is a very spacious single-storey brick and flint building has been converted from the old stables, and has lovely views across undulating meadow to the little Victorian flint church. Its generously proportioned and panelled main rooms have a cool Scandinavian mood, decorated in relaxing shades of blue and green. Maybe booked with Little Barsham to sleep 14.

Long Meadow (sleeps 8) was most recently the milking parlour and, dating from 1715, is the oldest property on the farm. The barn has clunch walls, a local chalk building material, which gives it unique character. This barn has an elegant but relaxed French country feel, blending colour and texture. May be booked with The Great East Barn to accommodate 22.

Little Barsham (sleeps 4) was in the past used for rearing lambs and sheltering sheep. This barn has an intimate atmosphere: sunny cottage in summer or snug hideaway in winter. Built from traditional Norfolk brick and flint, there are exposed beams and big picture windows with more contemporary touches.

The Loose Box (sleeps 4) has a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area and overlooks the courtyard garden. Cosy little barn with underfloor heating and a calming palette of colour.
