Located only three miles from the Jurassic Coast, Winfrith House is a Grade II*-listed, eight-bedroom Georgian property that lies in the centre of Winfrith Newburgh, behind a brick wall that Pevsner described as being ‘recklessly high’. The house is thought to date back to 1761, with additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features several handsome reception rooms, as well as a large family kitchen and breakfast room.
Within the two-acre plot is a large outdoor pool, a terrace, formal lawns, a series of garden rooms interlinked by a lavender-lined walkway, a parterre garden, wildflower area and an orchard that leads to the River Win.

Originally built to serve the now lost Dersingham Mill, this mill house has been turned into a characterful home, but still retains elements of its industrial past. The nine-bedroom house is set in nearly 10 acres on the crest of a hill, with far-reaching views towards Sandringham. A paddock lies to one side of the garden and beyond this is a 4¾-acre walnut orchard, an ‘idyllic and rare addition that not only enhances the setting, but invites small-scale agriculture,’ suggests the agent.
Dersingham is known locally as a ‘perfect’ village, with schools, a surgery, a library and a selection of shops. The famed north Norfolk beaches of Snettisham, Heacham and Hunstanton are a short drive away.

Parkgate Farm, just outside the village of Gestingthorpe near Halstead, was originally constructed in the early 15th century as a hall house before significant changes were made in the 19th century. Listed Grade II, it once formed part of the Castle Estate of Hedingham, a mile away. There are six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large open-plan kitchen breakfast room with a walk-in larder beyond. The rooms are full of architectural details, such as exposed brickwork and timber beams.
Beyond the orchard, planted with apple, pear, plum and fig trees, Parkgate is surrounded by open countryside, with a network of bridleways and footpaths leading straight from the house.
