Description
Voted among the Best British Holiday Houses by Condé Nast Traveller and the UK’s 50 Best Winter Weekends by The Times, this vacation home for rent in England is one of four cottages on the grounds of a 17th century Jacobean manor house.
Set in a row in a converted cartshed, the space was reinvented by the interior designer-owner and inspired by the natural elements of Norfolk’s coastal landscape. Playing on the ever-shifting shades of the local saltmarshes and grassy dunes, Samphire’s hues of putty and fern mix with linen and rustic oak to create a soft grey-green scheme.
The original timbers and structural features have been restored and cleverly integrated with modern conveniences and are complemented with oak floors and natural materials that echo the wild beauty of the local environment.
The layout includes a hand-built modern kitchen and an open plan sitting area with a small dining area and a large open fireplace and cozy log burning stove.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms that sleep up to four guests and one bathroom with a cast iron roll top bath and walk-in shower.
Decorated with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings and decor, the atmosphere seamlessly blends the historic rustic aspects of the home with a stylish spin.
Outside, there is a private terrace for dining and relaxing, and a shared garden space with views across the garden onto open fields. Views of the back are of the Hall and west barn.
Both rustic and chic, this is a relaxing and authentic getaway near the English seaside. To see the other cottages click here.
