Formerly the local oyster shucking shed, Oyster Barn is a magnificent detached barn conversion with sea views, located in the tranquil coastal village of Titchwell. Sympathetically renovated to retain historic maritime charm blended with modern features such as the superb viewing platform. Situated within walking distance of the Coasthopper bus stop, leave the car behind to explore the coast. RSPB Titchwell, Briarfields and Titchwell Manor are all within walking distance.

Oyster Barn beautifully encapsulates modern coastal living, with an aura of pastoral charm. Boasting unique and phenomenal views across the marshland to the sea beyond, this exquisite hideaway exudes tranquillity and calm. The once threatened marsh harrier thrives here, and can be frequently observed wheeling in the sky above. In autumn and winter, up to 100 birds roost in the RSPB reserve, and in spring and summer they are active pairing up and feeding their young. Built in traditional Norfolk stone, the drive up to the barn is instantly impressive. The grand entrance hall welcomes guests to feel immediately at home. The impressive sitting room features exposed stone walls, deep sumptuous sofas and a wood burning stove. Nestle in after a day spent exploring to revel in the warmth and ambient light that fills the room. Under an apex ceiling, the light and bright kitchen is well-equipped to provide all that enthusiastic chefs need to create a delicious feast made from the area's rich local produce. The Everhot range cooker is a delight to use and also provides background warmth on chillier winter days. A round breakfast table is the perfect spot to share a morning coffee to plan the day ahead. Steps lead down to a generous dining area where a large oak table invites eight guests to take a seat and create lasting holiday memories. From here, french doors open to the outdoor patio area, inviting in the fresh sea air. Hosting a super-king size bed, the master bedroom with en suite bathroom is located on this floor, making it ideal of any less mobile guests.

Three well-appointed bedrooms are presented atop the bespoke switchback staircase that leads to the first floor. Bedroom two hosts a double bed and is served by an en suite bathroom. With superb views of the marshes, bedroom three offers a super-king size. Twin beds are available in bedroom four. All bedrooms have been thoughtfully presented in a muted colour palette, and beds are dressed in good quality linens to ensure guests experience a deep restorative sleep. The latter rooms are served by a good-size family bathroom featuring bath with shower over.

The real wow factor in the design of this property is the special viewing platform. Ascend the oak ladder to experience the bewitching panoramic landscape of the marshes. Ever-changing and bustling with wildlife, guests will feel truly connected to nature as they observe this remarkable habitat. When the weather is less than stellar, sitting up here watching the sea and sky over a coffee or glass of wine is truly rewarding. Also be sure to catch a sunset and partake of stargazing. Over the last few years, the Northern Lights have been visible here several times a year when conditions are right.Outside, to the front of Oyster Barn, the private lawned area with patio is perfect for dining al fresco from the gas barbecue when the sun is shining. A further lawned area is located on the west side of the barn. To the rear, a charming south-facing, sunny courtyard is a real sun trap, and bikes and paddle boards can be stored securely in the gated courtyard. Ample off-road parking for up to three cars is also available.

Titchwell is a flourishing natural habitat where guests can observe a vivid plethora of species at the RSPB Reserve, or take a stroll down Gypsy Lane to the beautiful sandy beach which is home to a colony of grey seals. Nearby Titchwell Manor is one of the best eating establishments in North Norfolk Briarfields Hotel and Restaurant is also just a few minutes walk away. Oyster Barn is truly a wonderful base from which to discover all that this spectacular part of Norfolk has to offer.
