From the moment you sweep into the private grounds of this flint-clad Norfolk farmhouse set just a short walk from the beach, you know this isn’t going to be your average coastal bolthole. Dating back to the 1600s and surrounded by three acres of fairytale-esque gardens, this is a home for all ten of you (and your furry friends) to pile in and start living the seaside dream in serious style. In the summer months, pad out onto the elegant terrace to catch the golden hour sun with a tipple or two. Kids can run amuck on the vast lawns with a kickabout, game of badminton, or search out the garden basket swing, all under your watchful eye. Then head back indoors to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen. There’s a grand dining room if you fancy rolling out the red carpet or keep things casual and alfresco on the veranda. Enjoy long walks along the nearby cliff tops (a ten-minute walk) in the winter months. Then hunker down beside the fire with a post-walk cuppa. In need of some peace and quiet? That secondary snug is prime for a late afternoon loll or savour a soak in the rolltop... bath, just because you can. Meanwhile, the impressive games room should keep the kids (and big kids) happy. And when it’s finally time to spread your wings further along the coast, take your pick from some of North Norfolk’s coast finest beaches – the coastal towns of Overstand, Sheringham, and Mundesley are just a short drive away.
