Holt — £4,900,000
In the midst of the North Norfolk Blakeney salt marshes stands a truly breathtaking, modern home that takes coastal living to the extreme.
The property is built around a central courtyard and swimming pool, and is predominantly single-storey lateral space. The pre-weathered timber cladding and napped flint façade is a far cry from the 1950’s house which once stood in its place, and helps reflect and compliment the surrounding Norfolk coastal landscape.
With nine bedrooms, ten bathrooms and a huge amount of open-plan living space mixed with more intimate corners like the ‘wellbeing area’ (with steam room, treatment area and gym) and cinema, Bliss Blakeney caters to all types of family living.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.
Bintree — £3,200,000
With a legacy dating back to the 17th century and described in great detail in Pevsner’s Norfolk Volume of Buildings of England, The Manor House, located in Bintree, is an outstanding home with a fascinating history.
The property showcases 5500sq ft of refined interiors, including eight bedrooms, a multitude of open fires, roll-top baths and a secret door in the library (designed by the architect who created the Queen’s gallery and Buckingham Palace).
There are 11.5 acres of truly stunning, south-facing gardens that have been expertly divided to create pockets of varying spaces from which to enjoy the sunny aspect. A large feature pond frames the property to the front, whilst a mix of flower and vegetable gardens, a private walled garden and a former ice-house with an attached party barn complete the outdoor space.
