About this property

The Gatehouse is an immersive countryside retreat that provides pastoral views over the parkland at the north-eastern boundary of Little Massingham House estate. Only a short drive from Sandringham and the North Norfolk coast, and with a couple of exceptional pubs nearby, this is an excellent choice for a small family or for a couple that are looking for a quieter spot in the rural Norfolk countryside.

While traditional, in terms of the location and in the nature of the building, the owners have gone to great lengths to provide the modern comforts that help to make this a wonderful home-from-home. Comfortable beds that have been dressed in white linens await, while the sitting room provides an eclectic place to relax on the cooler, darker autumnal evenings. The ground floor also includes a large dining room that gives way to the kitchen. Direct access to the garden is provided via the kitchen door.

Outside, this generous, detached two-bedroom property stands as lone sentry at entrance of Little Massingham estate. Beyond the garden fence, the old estate stretches out for over 200 acres. Those paying attention may spot a wide variety of interesting species that rely upon a landscape that includes ancient woodland, grazing pasture, wildflower meadows and wetland. Simply pulling up a chair in the garden gives guests a wonderful view over the park, where you may see Barn Owls and Kestrels hunting or, high above, Buzzards and Red Kites circling on the thermals. The garden is enclosed and provides and outdoor dining set and charcoal barbecue. Off-road parking for two cars.

The nearby village of Great Massingham is just down the road, where you’ll find the village's award-winning local pub, The Dabbling Duck. In the other direction, The Rose and Crown in Little Massingham also provides excellent meals and real ale, in a traditional pub setting.
