Bedroom 2: Galleried, Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Bath, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Air source heat pump and underfloor heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for wood burner included, remainder available at cost. Welcome pack and doggy extras. Enclosed front garden. Back courtyard with outdoor bath, garden furniture and barbecue. Bike store. Electric vehicle charger. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Welcome to your perfect countryside retreat — a beautifully crafted luxury barn conversion in the peaceful hamlet of Sparrow Green, just outside Dereham. This two-bedroom home blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary comfort, featuring oak panelling, exposed beams, and elegant finishes throughout.
The barn opens with a fragrant rose garden and a peaceful front patio — ideal for morning coffee or winding down after a day out. You’ll also benefit from two off-street parking spaces, a secure bike store, and an EV charger, combining rural charm with modern convenience.
Inside, the open-plan living area is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling bifold doors. A double vaulted ceiling, framed by an original oak beam, draws the eye up to the mezzanine. Downstairs, enjoy a cosy wood burner, underfloor heating, and a high-end kitchen equipped with Miele appliances including a coffee machine, slimline dishwasher, and induction hob.
The sleek ground-floor shower room features a walk-in rainfall shower, and the super king-size bedroom includes premium bedding and an ensuite WC with vanity.
Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom is a tranquil semi-open space beneath the barn’s truss roof. It features a king-size bed and a freestanding cast-iron bath, making it the perfect retreat. With no TV, this space is designed for true relaxation.
Step outside to your private rear courtyard — an ideal spot for al fresco dining or a sunset soak in the outdoor bath with running hot water. You’ll also have access to a shared garden with a medieval moat, orchard, and working beehive. Plans are underway for a wild swimming pool by 2026.
For larger groups, the neighbouring one-bedroom Sparrow Green Cottage (UK50110) can also be booked. Together, both properties can accommodate up to six guests.
The owners have thoughtfully curated every detail to enhance your stay — from organic cleaning products and bespoke washing powder to a signature home scent and a welcome hamper with farm-fresh eggs, homemade honey, and artisan sourdough. Local artwork decorates the space, with select pieces available to purchase.
To elevate your stay even further, the owner can arrange local experiences such as arrival meals, afternoon teas, fine dining by local chefs, and even a driver for pub visits — a thoughtful alternative to taxis.
Sparrow Green is a quiet Norfolk gem, yet perfectly positioned. Just a short drive away, Dereham offers independent shops, cafés, and the heritage Mid-Norfolk Railway. For nature lovers, scenic walking and cycling trails run through the Nar Valley and along the Wensum Way. Birdwatchers can explore nearby nature reserves, and the Norfolk coast — under an hour away — offers dramatic beaches from Holkham to Hunstanton. The historic city of Norwich is just 30 minutes away.
Wherever your day leads, this luxury barn at Sparrow Green is the perfect place to return to — a truly memorable escape for couples, families, or friends.
