Seven of the very best houses for sale in Norfolk, from a picturesque cottage to a breathtaking beach house

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.

There are eight bedrooms on the first floor, whilst the ground floor offers well-proportioned reception rooms, perfect for family living or entertaining on a large scale.

Outside, there are over seven acres of gardens and paddocks, interjected by a range of barns, outbuildings, a self-contained one-bedroom Gardeners Cottage, swimming pool and pool house.

Hill House is a wonderful example of a sophisticated Grade II listed period home where the gardens are just as special as the interiors.

A romantic walled garden sits alongside flourishing flowerbeds and archways in hedges lead to a well-stocked kitchen garden and brick greenhouse. Elsewhere is a terrace area, expanses of lawn and an inviting outdoor pool with a pool house. There is also a range of outbuildings.

Inside the versatile interiors are seven bedrooms, beautiful sash windows, exposed timbers and modern, tasteful bathrooms which remain in keeping with the rest of the property.

Tasburgh — £1,400,000

The unique property has been beautifully updated by the current owners, who have preserved much of the original mill machinery — including adding a spectacular glass door in the entrance hall which shows the mill race below.

In addition to the wonderful interiors (where you will find dark wooden floorboards, exposed beams and fireplaces in abundance) and private walled gardens, are 17 acres of romantic woodland and meadows.
