High Barsham lies in a tranquil little river valley, almost in a world of its own. The barns were part of a historic farming estate and are surrounded by the protected lands of Walsingham Priory. For many years home only to swallows, the barns have now been brought back to life by an architect and his wife who have created elegant retreats that marry the best of traditional Norfolk materials with contemporary design.

High Barsham, once a threshing barn, has now been transformed into stylish and spacious living accommodation. Bronze lanterns and coloured glass illuminate the embroidered cushions and wooden antiques of the interior, combining contemporary detail with a cool and easy eastern influence. There are tranquil views to the south and east, overlooking the picturesque Stiffkey River valley. Outside, the south-facing walled courtyard garden provides complete privacy, inviting visitors to unwind in this peaceful setting.
