Welcome to
North Norfolk Sticks
North Norfolk Sticks is a converted
Victorian barn located in the depths of the countryside of North Norfolk
about 25 miles north of Norwich
. It is reached via a cart track yet despite its isolation it is
close to the market towns of Fakenham and Holt and only a few miles from the
coast. It is ideally situated for seclusion away from the hustle and bustle
of town or city life and a place where we are trying to achieve a green holiday
environment whilst still providing modern facilities. The property is
surrounded by organically farmed land and it is possible to walk for miles
without going on public roads. The area is ideally suited for walking,
cycling, bird watching and generally relaxing.

The barn is situated close to the main house
yet it is totally self contained within the grounds
of the owners’ 17th century farmhouse. Tenants of the barn have full access
to the ‘field’ or large lawn area of over half an acre. This area is suitable
for ball games, croquet etc. There is a shallow wildlife pond in the field
which is now securely fenced off for safety reasons. There is a large summer
house and outside tables with seating for 10 people and BBQ facilities are
provided at no extra cost. There is no restriction on parking cars but
regretfully pets cannot be accepted. There is a no smoking policy inside the
barn.
Swanton Novers
is an approximate 15 minute drive from the coast. It is a small peaceful
village surrounded by organic meadows and ancient woodlands. Two hundred
acres of this woodland is managed by English Nature and forms one of the most
important woodland reserves in the country. Entry to this area is restricted
but visitors can borrow a free permit to enter it. Of note to birdwatchers
and birders, this reserve has one of Britain ’s rarest breeding birds,
the Honey Buzzard, as a regular summer visitor. Many species of raptor may be
observed there. Public footpaths access other parts of the woodland and
village. The very popular town of Holt is only
6 miles and Norwich is
21 miles.
There are around 45
miles of coastline in North Norfolk, with
long sandy beaches, crumbling cliffs, flint pebble banks and salt marshes,
stretching from Horsey to Holkham beach. The rich
architectural heritage of 81 conservation areas, over 2,200 listed buildings
and 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, is set in countryside ideal for cycling,
walking, horse riding, bird watching or just relaxing.
