A superb, luxuriously appointed and exceptionally spacious barn conversion with private landscaped gardens. Nestled within the exclusive and award-winning Manor Farm Drive courtyard barn development in Wells-next-the-Sea, just a heart beat away from the centre of this much loved coastal resort and its breathtakingly beautiful beach.
Formerly part of the Holkham Estate's dairy farm barns, converted in 2013 by Norfolk's most prominent barn specialist, Mount Zion is finished to impeccably high standards, enjoys every modern comfort and shines with stylish and eye catching interiors. Spot the odd twist here and there creating fun and interest. The vast L-shaped open-plan living area is a super, sociable space and flooded with light from two sets of french doors to gardens on both sides of the barn. A very well-equipped kitchen, with adjacent utility room, is a cook's dream and large enough for everyone to help out if they wish, or take a seat at the breakfast bar if they prefer to chat instead. The dining area adjoins the kitchen, sits beside doors to the garden and overlooks the inviting, snug-as-a-bug sitting area where sink-into sofas and a wood burning stove provides that extra cosy feel. There are three bedrooms on this floor (two king-size and one super-king size zip and link), each tucked away at a different corner of the barn, offering complete privacy, with the benefit of their own en-suites. Upstairs on the first floor, the master bedroom suite really is the jewel in the crown and worthy of any smart interiors magazine. It has its own private stairway leading up to a second floor taken up with an ultra-fabulous bathroom. The gardens are lovely too, especially the pretty landscaped walled rear garden with its well stocked flower beds and path curving around the barn.
The layout of Mount Zion really lends itself to couples and friends who appreciate the finer things in life, and are looking for boutique style accommodation, but equally just as appealing for a multi-generational family, or two, looking for a special place, with both privacy and space, to spend quality time away together.

A fabulous modern and roomy property to stay in for our reunion and Burns supper celebration. It is situated only a short walk from the centre of Wells Next the Sea. A talking point was the interesting pictures and artefacts that adorn the property. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful, long, lazy weekend at Mount Zion in Wells-next-the-Sea. We were there to come together as a family to celebrate my husband's sixtieth birthday. I searched for the right property, and this was perfect for us. It has a beautiful, spacious living area comprising the lounge, dining room, and kitchen, the perfect communal area in which we were able to cook, play games, talk, read, watch films, and snooze together, all while still having space. The garden and courtyard were bonuses, not only for the dogs to play in, but thanks to the wonderful weather, we were able to make great use of them. The bedrooms, all with an ensuite, were good sizes, elegant and comfortable (it was particularly good to have two baths in the property!). The kitchen was well equipped, and we made good use of it to cook many delicious produce bought locally. The Norfolk Hideaway company that manages the property provides an exceptional service. From my initial booking and advance information to answering queries in advance and during our stay, all the staff we spoke to or met were professional, polite and efficient, they could not be more helpful.We have already recommended Mount Zion and the Norfolk Hideaways company to friends and family, and would be delighted to return in the future.
We all loved our time at Mount Zion, the house is very well located for local amenities and great for a large group.
