About this property
Surrounded by the Holkham Estate, Indigo Barn sits on the edge of the Stiffkey Valley in Warham, affording you unique, wide-ranging views across the rolling pasture and onwards towards chalk ridges that run parallel to the North Norfolk coastline. The location will hold a special appeal to nature lovers, with regular sightings of barn owls, hares boxing and deer roaming the nearby fields. Only a short drive away, you will find the sandy beach at Wells-next-the-Sea.
Combining the modern with the unique and the timeless, Indigo Barn has been lovingly curated to offer its guests a window to the wonderful Norfolk landscape, in a bespoke, luxurious surrounding. Throughout you will find examples of local artisan craft, bringing a tactile, crafted authenticity to the experience. Wonderful sunsets and sunrises can be enjoyed from this, your own quiet corner of Norfolk. Once inside Indigo Barn, you immediately begin to appreciate the efforts that the owner has made in creating unique and inspiring spaces, where you can enjoy entertaining family and friends in style and comfort. It has a generous, open-plan kitchen with Aga, huge living edge dining table, central fireplace, sitting room and a second sitting area that offers fantastic views. This area forms the hub of the house and it is here that all can gather and plan the day ahead (or to celebrate the day that has been!).
This area is also seamlessly connected to the large enclosed garden via large bi-fold doors that link up the room to the outside dining, bar area and the fire pit seating that overlooks the valley. Indigo Barn offers four superbly appointed bedrooms, each with their own character and all providing luxury touches, accompanied by four bespoke bathrooms - no one needs to go without. The master suite provides a super-king bedded room with a separate open-plan living space and its own en-suite bathroom, making this area ideal for couples that wish for a little more privacy or for a small family wanting a self contained separate space. Located on the ground floor, the suite has direct access to the garden and includes a well appointed kitchen.
Outside, you will have access to the numerous areas that the owner has created in order for groups to gather and relax. Including multiple dining locations (so you should always be able to find the sun!) including a covered bar with gas barbecue, a fire pit area and a Sauna. Here in autumn and winter marvel and thousands of pink-footed geese whiffling in to land on the nearby fields, or throughout the year soaring raptors, such as red kite or buzzards taking to the thermals so that they can survey all beneath them. Closer to the ground, you will also see patrolling barn owls looking along the hedgerows, or a hovering kestrel that has just seen movement below. All you need is the time and the inclination to slow down and look.
Aside from the incredible interior design and location, detached Indigo Barn has also been created with mindfulness and wellbeing central to the experience. To further promote these elements, the owner runs a range of special weekends throughout the year that tap directly into the reasons Norfolk is so special to so many people. Whether it is rolling out a yoga mat on the patio overlooking the valley, booking a private beauty therapist (please enquire before arrival) to get the full use of the on-site treatment room, Sauna or a private chef to work the Aga, Indigo Barn will accommodate all.
