Seven Meadows Barn

This spectacular barn conversion on the Norfolk–Suffolk border offers a stylish countryside escape for families and friends celebrating together. It’s located in the peaceful village of Ditchingham, just 2.5 miles from Bungay, a historic market town with castle ruins, independent shops, and lovely waterside walks along the River Waveney.

The area also serves as a gateway to the picturesque Norfolk Broads – you can hire boats, kayaks or paddleboards to explore the waterways and spot local wildlife. Beccles (8 miles) is famous for its river activities, historic charm, and heated lido.

Carry on past Beccles and you’ll reach the golden Suffolk coast, where sandy spots include Southwold, Lowestoft, Pakefield, and Kessingland (all within 17.5 miles). More seaside fun awaits in Norfolk’s Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, and Caister-on-Sea (all within 24 miles), while the colourful city of Norwich is just 13 miles from the property.

Step into this impressive home and you’re greeted by a fantastic open-plan kitchen/diner, bathed in natural light and featuring high ceilings with exposed timber posts and beams. On balmy days slide open the 6 meters long glazed wall to bring the outdoors in.

The kitchen will impress any budding chef, combining all the space and modern appliances needed for whipping up group feasts. Enjoy meals on the beautiful bespoke ceramic extendable dining table.

When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find plenty of space for the group to spread out, including a mezzanine level above the kitchen/diner that offers the perfect spot to sit back with your holiday read. The main lounge impresses with its chic design and ample soft furniture arranged around a roaring wood burner and Smart TV.

After each day of exploring, three restful bedrooms await down the hallway: a super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and direct courtyard access, plus a king-size room and a cosy twin. Serving the bedrooms and completing the property is a superb family bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower.
