Journey down a tree-lined gravel drive through the historic Bodney Hall estate to discover Bodney Lodge, a stunning nineteenth-century barn and stable conversion that redefines country luxury. Set in Norfolk’s unspoiled Brecklands, this remarkable property combines period charm with exceptional modern comforts.
The main barn’s spectacular open-plan living space forms the heart of this unique home. Here, original vaulted oak beams soar overhead, creating an awe-inspiring setting for gathering with family and friends. A large wood-burning stove, built into the period stone chimney, keeps the space cosy, while the built-in library offers a quiet corner for peaceful moments.
Dining becomes a special occasion around the rustic teak table that seats ten, positioned perfectly under an antler chandelier. The well-equipped kitchen makes catering a pleasure, whether you’re cooking yourself or taking advantage of the private chef service available to book.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully designed with luxury in mind. The master bedroom features a show-stopping free-standing copper bath, while additional bedrooms ensure comfort for up to 12 guests. For the adventurous, a mezzanine level accessed by a spiral staircase offers twin beds with a unique vantage point of the property.
The games room provides endless entertainment with its full-size snooker table and dartboard, complete with its own wood-burning stove for cosy evening tournaments. Outside, sink into the wood-fired hot tub that comfortably seats six, perfect for stargazing under Norfolk’s vast skies.
As guests, you’re invited to explore the Bodney Hall parkland, where walks along the River Wissey await. This chalk stream offers fly fishing opportunities for enthusiasts (arranged through the owners). For total relaxation, private massages can be booked in advance.
With underfloor heating throughout the main barn, a dog-friendly policy (two well-behaved dogs welcome), and facilities for young families, including a cot on request, Bodney Lodge caters perfectly to multi-generational gatherings. Whether you’re planning a special celebration or a peaceful retreat in the Norfolk countryside, this exceptional property provides a truly memorable setting.
