Malthouse Farm is a gorgeous holiday home, not too far from the coast, resting on the outskirts of Heacham, Norfolk. Just a short distance from local amenities and offering a taste of luxury, this spacious home boasts truly stunning interiors and gardens, with a sought-after a hot tub, and welcoming two well-behaved pets making it perfect for families or groups of friends. Upon arrival, ample off-road parking on the gravelled driveway and under the carport make unloading a breeze; here, you can also admire the wisteria growing on the building, giving a quintessentially quaint feeling, despite the grandeur of the home. Step inside the property where you'll be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped with a great selection of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, each tucked away into tasteful furniture which adds to the overall opulent feel of the property. Perfect for preparing home-cooked meals and enjoying them together, guests can dine at the table and toast to their getaway with a glass of fizz. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a utility room, providing additional convenience during your stay, and a quirky cloakroom decorated with a magazine collage to create another characteristic feature within the property. The ground floor hosts two inviting sitting rooms, each boasting a Smart TV and an open fire, ideal for relaxing evenings in. Each room as its own character and charm, with decor complementing the characterful wooden beams and the overall charm of the property. For those seeking a quiet retreat, the snug, complete with a plush sofa and a selection of books, provides the perfect spot for some downtime. The property boasts five beautifully presented bedrooms spread across three floors. On the first floor, you'll find a California-king with an en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, accessible via a flight of stairs from the bedroom itself. Also on this floor is a king-size bedroom with a similar en-suite, a double bedroom, and a single bedroom, providing flexibility for your group. The second floor hosts a twin bedroom with an en-suite, ensuring ample space and privacy for all guests. A family bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin, and WC completes the interior of this delightful abode. Outside, the property offers a non-enclosed sitting area with a patio, complete with a table, chairs, and a barbecue for those warm summer evenings. A second patio features a hot tub, set within a fully-decked area with additional seating, providing the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Norfolk's stunning coastline. This lovely old farmhouse is in a super location - the quieter outskirts of the village, but it’s easy walking distance both into the main part of the village, and down to both the North and South beaches at Heacham, and a short distance from the property you will find a large village pond a few metres along the road; an ideal spot for having a sit on the benches and watching the ducks. The village of Heacham itself has many amenities such as a small supermarket, post office, and of course, several local pubs, or guests can head over to the Victorian coastal town of Hunstanton, with even more amenities and known for its distinctive stripey cliffs and ideal kite surfing opportunities. Embark on a journey under the sea at SEA LIFE Hunstanton, home to a plethora of magnificent marine life. Wander the breathtakingly beautiful Norfolk Lavender fields, offering an array of charming colours, tantalising fragrances, and fascinating tours. For nature enthusiasts, a trip to the RSPB Snettisham is essential, a wildlife haven with views to remember. History buffs will marvel at the intrigue of The Wreck Of The Steam Trawler Sheraton resting on Snettisham Beach, a stunning coastline spot for a day of sun, sand, and sea. Satisfy your taste for adventure with a long walk at Ringstead Downs, an enchanting natural landscape offering spectacular views and diverse wildlife encounters. Further round the coast in either direction, or travelling more inland, you are surrounded by North Norfolk’s AONB and stunning coastline and numerous historic market towns and villages such as Holme, Thornham, Brancaster, Cley next the Sea, Blakeney (perfect for spotting seals basking on the sandbanks at low tide), and further round Burnham Market, Holt and Fakenham. This location is simply a haven for walkers, cyclists, golfers, and those with pets looking to take in the local scenery. Visit the Holkham Hall Estate, Blickling Hall, Sandringham House and Gardens, Oxbrough Hall and many RSPB and wildlife attractions. Your stay at Malthouse Farm will not only be filled with relaxation but also incredible coastal adventures and natural beauty.
Heacham is a large village located on the West Norfolk coastline, on The Wash, boasting a lovely family friendly sandy beach, ideal for jet skis, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village has many cottages built from Carstone, which is a feature of this part of Norfolk, and also offers a good range of shops, restaurants and country pubs. Within walking distance is Caley Hall, home to Norfolk Lavender with its sweet smelling lavender fields, and Heacham Hall, owned by John Rolfe, who brought his young bride Pocahontas to England to live at the hall (in the local church of St Mary you will find a memorial to her). This part of Norfolk is renowned for its abundance of birdlife throughout the year, with several local rspb sites, while within easy driving distance is Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, as seen on BBC's Springwatch. Nearby Hunstanton offers traditional seaside entertainment including a sealife centre, while The Queen's Sandringham Estate is just a 15 minute drive.

She was in constant communication from the point of booking to our departure. The house was immaculate and felt like we were the first guests in the house. Everything was very well thought out from the hot tub being prepared to the kitchen being ready. There was ample amount of wood for the fire pit so make sure you bring loads of marshmallows! We visited with 7 adults and 2 kids (aged 3 and 2). The kids were well catered for with a travel cot made available to a stair guard being in place at the bottom of the stairs. I couldnât recommend this house anymore with no real drawbacks.

Katie and Kevin were fantastic hosts and had thought of absolutely everything to make our stay special, nothing was too much trouble. An extensive welcome pack was provided with lovely personal touches. The house is perfect for families and pets as the garden is large and enclosed and there are so many reception rooms for large groups to spread out and relax. We particularly enjoyed days out to Holkham Beach, Sandringham, Wells-Next-The-Sea and had a lovely meal at The Orange Tree. Wouldnât hesitate to return. 10/10

Communication with the owner Katie was very easy and nothing was too much trouble. We are quite a boisterous bunch so hopefully we didnât cause too much noise. We would 100% recommend this property.
