The Village:

Little Barningham is a charming and unspoilt North Norfolk village surrounded by rolling countryside and attractive rural walks, ideally positioned for access to both the North Norfolk coastline and the Georgian market town of Holt. Holt, located approximately six miles away, offers an excellent range of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, whilst the nearby coastline provides access to some of the county's most renowned beaches, nature reserves and sailing facilities. The area is particularly well regarded for its network of walking and cycling routes together with its abundance of picturesque villages and traditional country pubs. Rail services can be found at Sheringham and Cromer with onward connections to Norwich, where direct services to London Liverpool Street are available, whilst Norwich International Airport lies approximately twenty five miles to the south.

Meadow Cottage is understood to be an individually commissioned bespoke build, rather than part of a larger development, which is reflected in its generous proportions, adaptable layout and substantial plot size. The property displays many qualities associated with high quality late twentieth century construction, combining practical family living with a setting and scale rarely found in more modern homes.
