An Architecturally Stunning New Home

Set on the southern side of the village and positioned to fully appreciate some of the most iconic North Norfolk buildings, Sheldrake is an immaculately presented new home with substantial proportions.

As the electric gates silently glide open you are immediately struck by how architecturally stunning this house is, and yet, using traditional brick and flint, its architectural design fits seamlessly into its countryside setting.

On stepping inside the wide and welcoming entrance hall you are immediately drawn into the house and to the rear, where it opens into a stunning ‘L’ shaped kitchen, dining and family room.

What makes this room so particularly magnetic is the three set of full-width sliding doors, which not only allow this room to be flooded with natural light, but also provide the first taste of those incredible vistas over the water meadows toward the Water Mill and the iconic windmill of Burnham Overy Staithe.

There is the business end, with its stylish kitchen and sociable and elegant central island, there is the dining area for boisterous breakfasts planning the day’s adventures, or an intimate candlelit dinner with friends, and finally there is the seating area with those spectacular views.Where better to unwind with a good book, so long as the views don’t distract! This is the perfect family room.

If you want a cosy night in front of the TV and an open fire, there is also a well-proportioned sitting room as well as the ground floor bedroom which could also be used as a home office.

The house has a side entrance straight into the utility and boot room and, with the ground floor shower room beside it, this is perfect for washing down muddy two and four legged little ones after a winter walk or a summer paddle.

Upstairs there are four very generous double bedroom suites, the largest of which has a spectacular walk through wardrobe, as well as its own covered roof terrace. However, the other three share the use of a further roof terrace which is a proper sun trap.

Outside and to the front is a sun drenched south-facing patio, a further patioed area off the kitchen family room and then, at the end of the lawned garden, there is a final patioed area where you can go to enjoy the sun setting in the west and observe the barn owls flitting over the water meadows of the River Burn.

Having been in their ownership for many years, Sheldrake holds a very special place in the hearts of this family of builders.

Whilst their reputation for quality and finish has been built on decades of building beautiful local homes, this is a house that they have put their hearts and souls into creating.

It has been thoughtfully arranged so that whichever room you are in, on the ground floor or upstairs, you have a view of an iconic and much painted North Norfolk building, the Water Mill and Windmill of Burnham Overy Staithe to the rear and the beautiful 11th Century St Margrets church to the front. In every aspect, this is a true Norfolk home.
