Weybourne

Location Weybourne is an idyllic village on the North Norfolk coast, characterised by its lovely brick and flint cottages, pebble beaches and beautiful countryside, situated approximately 3 miles from the Georgian market town of Holt and popular seaside town of Sheringham. On approach, depending on the direction, you will be welcomed by its lovely windmill, the tank which guards the Muckleburgh military collection or by the Steam railway station. The village centre plays host to church, a delicatessen, cafe, and The Ship Inn serving delicious meals and a good selection of local beers, ciders and gins.

There is a small primary school in nearby Kelling and Weybourne is on the catchment for Sheringham High School and Sixth Form. There are some well know private schools within a short car journey, including Beeston Hall School and Gresham's school in Holt.


The village can be accessed via the 'Coasthopper' bus which runs a service along the A149 and for those looking for a more nostalgic arrival, by the Poppyline Steam railway. The mainline train station in Sheringham provides a service to Norwich which links through to London. The nearest airport is 25 miles away in Norwich.

Sheringham and Holt have thriving town centres with a wealth of boutiques, supermarkets, cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as leisure activities and health practitioners. 

Description This charming brick and flint barn was part of complex of converted barns and restored cottages, built by in 1995 by respected local developer, Michael McNamar, accessed via a private road, just a few yards from the centre of the village.

The property was sympathetically converted to keep the open feel of the barn, retaining its vaulted roof, exposed rafters and brick and flintwork walls, whilst providing a comfortable and inviting home with the modern conveniences that we value. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with classic Shaker style units with Quartz worktops and opens into a spacious sitting/dining with oak flooring, a wood-burning stove and stairs to the mezzanine bedroom. The inner hall gives access to a contemporary shower room and to the generous, principal bedroom with mezzanine and luxurious en-suite bathroom, including a fabulous roll top, double ended bath. Unusually, there is access to the private courtyard garden from here, and the front garden can be accessed from each room where the French doors front the property. For those who would prefer, the erection of a stud wall could screen the bathroom, allowing un-disturbed access to the courtyard garden. The property benefits from electric underfloor heating.

There is ample off-road parking in the front garden, additional parking in the car port and a lovely landscaped courtyard, including a sheltered seating area and a well-tended beck which runs along the rear of the property.

This beautiful property is currently home to a family, but would be equally suitable for a couple or as a holiday home/investment purchase.
