The Property
The Old Granary was originally built in 1808. The Norfolk wherries moored underneath the building and collected the local grain to transport down the River Ant. The detached property is Grade II listed and has been carefully restored and converted working closely with the North Norfolk District Council Conservation Department. The combination of the traditional style white-clad exterior, design detailing and contemporary fittings create the feeling of a stylish boutique hotel.
