Holt

Tucked away on Valley Lane, one of Holt’s most desirable addresses, Summer Barn offers the rare combination of tranquillity and town life. Just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Holt and the scenic trails of Spout Hills, the location is both inspiring and convenient. The town is full of character, with independent boutiques, artisan cafés and family-run businesses bringing warmth and personality to this Georgian market town.

Originally developed in 2019 by acclaimed local builder Dennis Nudd, Summer Barn reflects his hallmark quality and attention to detail. Built with soul and finished with finesse, it’s one of a select few barn conversions secured before ever reaching the open market - a testament to their appeal.

With three generous bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms upstairs, plus a flexible ground floor bedroom with en suite, Summer Barn is thoughtfully designed for modern living. The layout flows seamlessly from the sociable kitchen to the light-filled day room, perfect for catching the afternoon sun, and on to the elegant main reception - a space full of warmth and quiet character. A wood-burning stove adds to the charm, creating a cosy setting for relaxed evenings. This is a home that adapts effortlessly to family life, entertaining, or simply enjoying a slower pace.

Enclosed by classic brick and flint walls, the garden is a mix of mature planting and low-maintenance landscaping. Arranged into inviting pockets of space, it’s perfect for quiet mornings, summer gatherings or enjoying open views across the fields - private yet connected to nature. To the front, a gravelled driveway offers parking for 2–3 vehicles, with a traditional cart lodge providing additional storage or secure space for cherished equipment or vehicles.

Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Holt’s centre, Summer Barn offers a lifestyle where countryside calm meets the energy of one of North Norfolk’s most treasured market towns.
