The rural and peaceful Holkham Estate offers scenic walks, wildlife, long stretches of sandy beaches and pretty coastal villages. Step outside the lodge and take a long stroll around Holkham Park, which has a lake, deer park and woodland. On the coast, Holkham Beach (6.5 miles) offers beautiful sandy beaches to relax on. Lady Anne’s Drive (5.5 miles) leads you to a dog-friendly beach alongside thriving pine woods to explore. Wander past the charming beach huts at Wells-next-the-Sea (3.5 miles), which also has a pretty harbour where you can try the freshly caught fish.
From the outside, this 18th-century Grade I-listed property is a sight to behold. Inside the arched building made of large stone bricks, designed by renowned architect William Kent, are two holiday homes which are just as striking on the inside. Entering the living area of your romantic bolthole, you’ll find a comfortable sofa, TV and dining area which sits beneath the beamed ceiling. The charming, compact kitchen has a chic style with all of the essentials — a combination microwave oven, two-ring induction hob, toaster, kettle and fridge/freezer for making a homecooked meal for a delightful night in. Also downstairs is a cloakroom with a WC. Once you’ve climbed the white twisting staircase, you’ll reach the unique open-plan and en-suite bedroom. The low ceiling and stunning archway framing the roll-top bath create a charming and intimate feel. Step out of the bath and jump into the king-size bed which is surrounded by stylish, low-hanging lights. Please be mindful of the low ceilings and limited space due to the character of the building.
Pop open a glass of bubbly and sit outside on your lawned garden area on the bistro table and chairs while admiring the surrounding lush green grounds and your home away from home. Take advantage of the grounds of Holkham Estate with historic parkland and woodland, walking trails, bike hire facilities, a restaurant, gift shop and a lake which are all within Holkham Park. There is parking for one car, on the driveway, and an electric vehicle charging point.
