Surrounded by open countryside and with panoramic views in every direction, Field Barn at Burnham Thorpe is a home with a difference.

Set in seclusion and perfect for anyone who loves wildlife watching and taking in the spectacular sight of the flocks of pink-footed geese that over-winter on the Norfolk coast flying overhead, it is also just a few minutes' drive or 10-minute cycle ride from Burnham Market.

Creake Abbey, with its farmers' market, shops and café is a short stroll away and, of course, the property is well positioned for the magnificent beaches of north Norfolk.

Believed to date back to 1820, the beautiful flint barn has been cleverly and creatively converted to offer generous and very flexible accommodation.

The current owners, who have been here for seven years, have further enhanced it with touches of their own and find it to be an extremely comfortable as well as substantial home.

Today, 21st century touches include ground and air source heat pumps, as well as solar panels, for heating and hot water. There is under-floor heating, CAT5 wiring and a Sonos music system throughout the house.

Field Barn is entered via a large reception hall, with a high vaulted ceiling and mezzanine level above. It is here the exquisite oak woodwork, which appears in abundance throughout the spacious house, first becomes apparent.

Beyond the hall is a sitting area, with doors on to a sheltered courtyard, and to the left is the splendid kitchen and family room, which comprises areas for food preparation, dining and relaxation.

This incredible, triple aspect space, which like many other parts of the property presents exposed brick and stonework, features two islands, exceptional storage and a four-oven electric Aga, as well as an integrated electric oven, microwave and dishwasher.

The table and other surfaces in the space have been finished with the same attractive granite as the work surfaces and there are two sets of French windows.

To the other side of the reception hall is the drawing room, which doubles as a cinema room, and hidden behind the screen are doors that allow the space to be opened up into the library behind should new owners require it.

A door leads through into the music room, where more shelves have been specially made to house a vinyl collection.

The library, with further French windows opening on to the courtyard, features the most exquisitely made bookshelves.

But the surprises within Field Barn just keep coming – this is a home with something exciting to discover at every turn.

Beyond the library is another long, single-storey wing that is currently arranged as an office (fully fitted out by Neville Johnson), bathroom and the indoor swimming pool. At the far end is a capacious room and en suite shower room where the owners have their gym equipment.

Clearly, however, this section of the property could quite easily be used as a guest suite and – if new owners did not wish to retain the pool (which has a current to swim against) – then perhaps it could even be transformed into a self-contained annexe.

Back in the main hall, the beautiful oak staircase leads up to the mezzanine level and the master bedroom suite, which has an expansive en suite bathroom and dressing area. Here there are fitted wardrobes and across the ceiling a former ship's mast has been brought in as a beam.

One guest bedroom and en suite shower room can be found on the other side of the landing and symmetrical staircases rise from either side up to the second-floor level, where two smaller bedrooms, each with its own shower room, are found.

Outside, the grounds surround Field Barn and include garages and a workshop, as well as plenty of space to grow fruit and vegetables.

The current owners of this unique home are also birdwatchers and like nothing more than relaxing out in their tranquil gardens, soaking up the serenity and enjoying being so close to nature.
