Barn

The Thorn Barn

near Burnham Market, Norfolk

A working barn with the far doors opening onto twelve acres. Cold in February, which is why it costs a third of what it does in July.

The point of this room is the far end: forty feet of open doorway with nothing but field behind it. Keep it clear, light it, and put nothing in front of it.

Bare brick and oak, no fixed lighting, no fixed anything. Everything comes in, which is more work and considerably more freedom.

In winter you will need six indirect heaters running from seven in the morning. Budget for it properly — it is the single thing guests notice within a minute of arriving.

What you get

  • Forty-foot open doorway to the field
  • Dry hire, three-day access
  • No fixed lighting — bring your own scheme
  • Fire pit and outdoor cooking permitted
  • Eight beds in the granary
  • Music until midnight

Questions

Is it heated?
Not built in. We hire six indirect diesel heaters for winter weddings — about £900 for the weekend and worth every penny.
How late can music run?
Midnight inside with the doors shut, 10pm outside. The nearest house is 400 metres away and they are reasonable about it.
