For those of you already in the know, there’s something very wonderful and calming about the unspoilt coast of North Norfolk. Nowhere exemplifies this feeling more than Appletree Barn a stunningly beautiful, four-bedroom property that stretches along the coast path and overlooks the marsh across to the beach and sea at Brancaster. Designed as a holiday home by Col Jack Lesley and his wife, Margo, back in 1925, it was originally known as Appletree Cottage. After the Second World War the house became their permanent residence and they took time to landscape the beautiful south facing gardens into what at the time was described as ‘a Riviera garden in Norfolk’. To this day the gardens still retain much of that elegance of the 1920’s.
The folly, which is now known as Appletree Barn, was previously used as an elaborate party and entertaining room as an annexe to the main house, Appletree House. Although its party days are over, it now offers four fantastic bedrooms on the ground floor, three of which have en-suite bathrooms and a stunning upstairs living area including an open plan kitchen with large dormer window offering spectacular views across the salt marshes towards the beach and beyond. In addition, there is a fabulous look-out tower which provides the most incredible views out to sea. There grounds are beautiful and these can be appreciated to the front, side and rear of the property. The gardens to the left which you have to pass through on arrival are for the exclusive use of Appletree Barn.
In the beautiful grounds sits a swimming pool and tennis court both shared with the owner. Both of these are available to use from the 19th May 2023 through until the end of September 2023. Please note that the swimming pool and tennis court are not available to use during August. If you are in any doubt, please check with our reservations team before booking.
