Flint Barn extends a warm and inviting welcome to all its guests. This charming conversion of a brick and flint barn offers abundant space, natural light, a wealth of character, and practicality. Nestled in a tranquil spot within the heart of East Runton, an enchanting coastal village, this hidden treasure lies just a brief five-minute walk from the village’s amenities and its magnificent sandy beach, cherished year-round by surfers, swimmers, bodyboarders, fossil enthusiasts, and avid walkers.
With its origins tracing back to the 1850s, Flint Barn occupies a serene cul-de-sac, alongside other meticulously converted high-quality barns. In 2022, the dedicated owners thoughtfully updated the barn, crafting a contemporary, soothing, and comfortable retreat, ensuring an idyllic home-away-from-home experience for guests and their beloved four-legged companions.
Every detail has been meticulously considered to ensure your stay is as hassle-free as possible. As you step into the barn, you’ll find yourself in a spacious reception hall that provides access to all areas. The well-equipped country kitchen is designed to cater to even the most passionate of cooks, should you choose to stay in and prepare a delectable meal using the abundant local produce available.
You have the option to dine in the adjacent dining room or enjoy an al fresco meal on the expansive, sun-drenched south-facing patio at the rear of the barn, weather permitting. The vaulted living room is bathed in natural light, thanks to a magnificent full-size picture window, making it a truly delightful space to unwind after a day of exploration, walking, and rejuvenating in the fresh sea air.
When it’s time to retire for the night, head upstairs to discover two inviting bedrooms – one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds. These bedrooms share a well-appointed, modern bathroom that offers both a relaxing bath and an invigorating shower option.
Flint Barn serves as the perfect retreat for families, couples, friends, and even those with furry companions, offering year-round enjoyment. A delightful 20-minute stroll or a short drive eastward takes you to the traditional seaside town of Cromer, known for its world-famous pier, Lifeboat Station, and charming independent shops. To the west, just three miles away, lies Sheringham, the home of the Poppy Line steam train and a quaint high street.
Both towns can be easily reached by foot along the beach or coastal path, by car, or via the coast hopper bus. Enthusiastic hikers will relish the opportunity to embark on a coastal path adventure to Sheringham, treating themselves to breathtaking vistas from Beeston Bump. Food enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice with nearby culinary gems such as Rocky Bottoms, Upstairs at Number 1, the exceptional Gunton Arms, and their latest offering, the Suffield Arms.
For those who appreciate visits to National Trust properties, Felbrigg Hall, Sheringham Park, and Blicking Hall are all in close proximity, offering stunning architecture and well-marked trails for exploring their picturesque grounds.
