Description
Despite its Georgian appearance, the interior is arranged in a style that is ideal for modern living. The three principal living and entertaining rooms are arranged across the southern wing with a large kitchen/breakfast room at the western end mirrored by the equally generous drawing room at the eastern end, and separated in the middle by a formal dining room. Much like the hall, all three rooms have french windows opening out onto the south-facing terrace and all have wonderful views south over the landscaped gardens.
The more practical rooms are in the northern wing with a plant room, utility room, boot room, back stairs and the now essential home office.
Take the grand central staircase up to the first floor and you will find three double bedroom suites in the southern wing, with its opulent principal bedroom taking centre stage, and with all three of its rooms looking directly over the walled garden. This is a bedroom that supersedes even the principal suite of the hall itself with a dressing room that is almost equal in its proportions to those of the en-suite bathroom and one each side of the generous bedroom. The two bedroom suites within the north wing are accessed via a separate staircase to the rear.
The Walled Garden extends to 1.6 acres (STMS) and was originally created to provide year round produce for the occupants of Burnham Westgate Hall. The approved design has been created by another local, yet nationally recognised professional, Chris Deakin, whose garden designs have won both gold and silver at the Chelsea Flower Show, as well as the RHS Tudor Rose at the Hampton Court Flower Show. As such this is a garden that will not only pay homage to its historical significance, but at the same time will provide a practical and aesthetic use of this wonderful open space.
Plots with full planning permission are extremely rare in this beautiful enclave of North Norfolk, most often they are relatively ordinary sites with an unattractive property from the 60s or 70s sitting on them. To find such a plot as this, set in one and a half acres of absolute privacy, in the very heart of the beautiful Georgian village of Burnham Market, is truly a one off and will only be superseded by the physical creation of this very special and extraordinary house by its first custodian.
BURNHAM MARKET Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques - there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel in north Norfolk's glittering crown.
Located close to the mouth of the River Burn, believed to be the source of its name, the village has long been associated with naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived at nearby Burnham Thorpe.
A refined elegance permeates every aspect of village life, from the traditional homewares found at Uttings, the locals 'go-to' for household essentials, to sampling tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop - this is a place to savour the finer things. Eating out is also a joy with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights.
Fashion counts on the Champagne coast and for chic style head to Anna's boutique, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills. For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries - the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. For a spot of self-care, wellbeing boutique Aura 37 stocks a range of sustainable brands. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's - unmissable with its pretty pink frontage - where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets.
It goes without saying that Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe and Burnham Thorpe, are home to some of the finest houses on the coast. Whether your dream is a Georgian classic, a traditional cottage or a sleek, contemporary house, this is an incredible place to discover your forever home.
