The Gate House at Wolterton Hall

Found in the beautiful Norfolk countryside is this charming former gate house set within the grounds of an 18th-century estate. Perfect for families or groups of up to five people and their two travelling canines, this property is the ideal base for your adventure in the East. The village of Itteringham is just 2.5 miles away and offers a local pub and a handy village shop to pick up any essentials. For a wider range of shops, head to the market town of Aylsham (5.5 miles) which also plays host to the Bure Valley Railway experience and the National Trust’s Blickling Hall. Visit the coastal town of Cromer (10 miles) for a traditional day by the sea, here your dog can run wild on the sandy beach between October and May.

Surrounded by the greenery of the estate, this beautifully styled retreat offers all the space and charm you need to embrace your Norfolk getaway. The entrance hall leads through to a peaceful sitting room with an open fire, comfy seating, and Smart TV – the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the elements. For more relaxation space, walk through to the snug room with another open fire, as well as a games cupboard to keep you entertained. At the end of the hall is the well-equipped and traditional kitchen and dining space where you can enjoy your favourite meals away from home. Completing the downstairs is a handy cloakroom and the property’s smallest bedroom featuring a single bed. Upstairs, guests will find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom boasting a charming free-standing bath. Another king-size bedroom offers plenty of space to relax and access to the property’s Jack and Jill style bathroom. Completing this floor is a quiet study, perfect if you need to answer some emails whilst away.

Outside awaits lawned gardens at the front and rear of the house, as well as a terraced area complete with garden furniture and a BBQ for those alfresco meals. Beyond the private garden are several pleasant walking routes through the 500-acres of estate parkland.
