Peaceful Living in North Norfolk’s scenic village of Thursford

Created as the perfect setting for family holidays, this lodge has also been enjoyed by many returning guests over the 18 years since it was built.

Set within an exceptionally private plot, the property is best entered via the boot room - ideal for shedding muddy boots or sandy sandals after a day exploring North Norfolk. The ground floor is largely open plan and sociable, with a kitchen/dining area seating eight (and more for special occasions). From the sink, you can look out over the garden and keep an eye on children at play.

At the other end, the space opens into a full-width seating area. A log burner creates a cosy winter retreat, while french doors invite in a cooling breeze on warm summer days. There’s also a ground floor single bedroom, along with a shower room and WC.

Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, including a principal with en-suite, plus a family bathroom.

Outside, the south-facing garden features a covered patio just off the living area, perfect for relaxed, all-weather BBQs - and there is private parking for at least four cars.

Sentinel Lodge has created many happy memories over the years. Much loved by both its owners and returning guests, it’s especially prized for its peace, tranquillity, and abundant wildlife, with pheasants, hares, deer and owls all frequent visitors.

THURSFORD
A small rural village, Thursford is tucked away between Fakenham and the north Norfolk coast.

The village has a church, a public house, garage and Thai restaurant. It’s also the home to the famous Thursford Collection of steam engines, old funfair rides and organs. A visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money.

Fakenham is a short drive away and it has a cinema and supermarkets, a busy Thursday street market and a monthly Farmers Market. The Georgian market town of Holt is only eight miles away with a wide range of shops, boutiques and eateries, amenities and Gresham’s School. The North Norfolk Coast with its long sandy beaches and salt marshes are also nearby.

Make time to explore the Fakenham Lancaster Heritage Trail, a series of 32 plaques which bring the town’s industrial past to life. Originally a vibrant agricultural centre, during the 19th century Fakenham rose to prominence as a major centre for printing – spot the printing blocks which have been set in the surface of the market place and date back to 1250. The stallholders still set out their wares every Thursday with a farmers’ market on the last Saturday of the month.
