The Owl House
Little Massingham. Norfolk
The Owl House is a beautiful brick and flint barn in the heart of rural paradise, surrounded by a herd of doe-eyed, hand-fed breeding deer. Step over the courtyard for a dip in the ten-metre indoor, temperature-controlled swimming pool with beautiful modular ceiling with fibre optic lights and a separate changing area, WC and shower. There is also the option of a sauna, a round of tennis on the tarmac court or a game of pétanque.
Dominated by a magnificent open-plan living space and a huge handmade 16ft table with an impressively imposing chandelier made with shed antlers, it has a double vaulted ceiling with exposed Canadian spruce timbers which will catch your breath! Beautiful Indian stone flooring will keep you cool in the summer months, under floor heating will warm you at cooler times and the wood burning stove ensures it is cosy for the winter, making this hideaway an all-year-round retreat, perfect for families and groups of friends.
Every care has been taken to build an authentic and characterful residence with all the mod-cons to make your stay luxurious and comfortable. A bespoke staircase takes you up into a lovely loft room, with a super king bed and a walk-through to a double ended slipper bath, twin basins and a deluxe shower. Velux windows provide a view over the courtyard with its centre-piece fountain. It’s only a short walk to the local gastro-pub, The Dabbling Duck, in Great Massingham too!
Hill Farm Massingham is a truly magical spot and has been the family home of Hugh and Heidi for the last sixteen years, where countryside, rural life and sustainability are their major influences in creating such an idyllic spot. Restoring their traditional brick and flint Georgian farm house, in which they live, and converting the extensive cattle crew yards into luxury 5* accommodation has become a lifelong project for them. Though not a truly organic experience (yet!), when not home grown, they like to source materials and produce locally and choose to eat seasonally, reducing their carbon footprint. They are bee keepers and are very proud of their incredible honey and by-products (soaps and balms). Their bees are spoilt for choice with an abundance of trees in the arboretum, flowers and lavender in their pretty walled garden and flora in their wild flower meadow. They have put in a bore hole, 75m into the ground and source all their water from it. It is treated before and after use, so that it can be recycled into their pond to encourage further wild life and provide somewhere for the deer to bathe. They have plans for solar panels on the large barn, which will further reduce their carbon foot print and take them one step closer to their self-sufficiency ambitions.
