Syderstone – Quality Holiday Accommodation

Church Barn, Creake Road, Syderstone, Norfolk, PE31 8SF

Centuries old, this traditional, spacious, flint, chalk, brick and pantiled property is situated in the heart of the North Norfolk countryside, yet only a fifteen minute drive from the sea. The detached house, facing south, is set in attractive and well maintained, landscaped gardens with extensive views northwards. Charming and filled with character, retaining beams throughout, Church Barn offers very comfortable and well-equipped accommodation for up to 9 people plus a baby:

6 Bedrooms Games room

2 Bathrooms 4 Landscaped gardens

2 Reception rooms Avenue drive, ample parking

Farmhouse kitchen Heated outdoor swimming pool

The picturesque village of Syderstone is within easy reach of the unspoilt North Norfolk Coast, with its sandy and shingle beaches, harbours, creeks, marshes, cliffs, nature reserves and principal bird watching areas. The nearest town is Fakenham (7 miles) which has a good selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, two supermarkets, bowling alley, library, tennis courts, cinema, weekly outdoor market (Thursdays) and a racecourse. There is an 18 hole championship golf-links course at Brancaster amongst several others in the vicinity, and the stately homes and gardens of Felbrigg, Holkham, Houghton, Blickling and Sandringham are only a short drive away. The small towns and villages of Docking and Burnham Market (both inland), Hunstanton, Burnham Overy Staithe, the Brancasters, Wells-next-the-Sea, Thornham, Titchwell (a key RSPB center) and Blakeney (all on the coast with harbours and/or sandy beaches) are within 10-20 minutes’ driving distance. There are plenty of activities for both adults and children, see our Local Attractions page.

Church Barn itself stands alongside the 900 year old, round-towered Syderstone Church, at the end of a private grass and tree-lined drive, off the Creake Road. It directly adjoins open countryside, yet is within a stroll of the Lynn Arms Public House (with food), and is minutes away from the 60 acre Syderstone Common Nature Reserve, Womack Wood with its three Bronze Age burial grounds, and many signposted country walks. Less than 6 miles away there is also the new 42 acre Sculthorpe Moor Reserve, and it is less than 6 miles to the nearest post office/supermarket in Docking.
