About this property

Meet Walter, a beautifully reimagined Denis Dominator Bus, thoughtfully crafted with a blend of modern and upcycled materials to provide a unique retreat. Perfect for a family of two adults and two or three children, Walter offers a one-of-a-kind base for exploring the enchanting Norfolk Coast National Landscape in Wells-next-the-Sea. Convenient off-road parking for two vehicles ensures a hassle-free arrival. Nestled in a private field surrounded by trees, Walter's idyllic setting features a sunken wildflower garden, a patio for alfresco dining, and plenty of open space for relaxation. Fire up the barbecue for a memorable outdoor meal, or gather around the fire pit in the evening to toast marshmallows and share stories under the stars. This peaceful environment is alive with wildlife and offers a touch of magic as the occasional steamtrain glides past. Stepping over the threshold, be delighted by an open-plan, bespoke oak and wood interior that incorporates many of the original bus elements into its design. Staying comfortable year-round is effortless, as Walter is equipped with central heating and radiators to keep you warm during the colder months. While in the summer, the surrounding trees and plentiful windows offer natural shade. Upstairs, discover a curated library featuring art and local history books, complemented by a selection of family games for your enjoyment. Walter is thoughtfully designed to spark creativity, foster learning, and provide a serene space for relaxation. Walter's field is just a mile from Wells-next-the-Sea, with her own requested train stop on the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, the world’s smallest public railway through the countryside. Occasionally, you might spot someone tending to the chickens nearby, but other properties on the land are well-hidden, ensuring your privacy. For an adventure not too far, spend the morning basking in the sun at Holkham Beach, an unspoiled stretch of coastline. Wells Beach is also famous for its expansive golden sands, colorful beach huts, and stunning views. Take the Norfolk Coastal Path for breathtaking views and a chance to spot local wildlife. This flat terrain and beautiful landscapes make Wells-next-the-Sea and its surroundings ideal for cycling. Enjoy crabbing, boat trips, or simply watch the bustling activity in the picturesque Wells Harbour. Why not join a boat trip to Blakeney Point to see the famous seal colonies? Return in the evening to sample some of the best fish and chips in this area. Explore the village's charming independent shops, boutiques, and galleries to find the perfect souvenir. For family fun, visit the arcade, where kids can enjoy a variety of games and activities. Being situated within the heart of Holkham National Nature Reserve, you can explore woodlands, sand dunes, and salt marshes teeming with wildlife. Holkham Hall is well worth a visit, a magnificent stately home with beautiful grounds, a walled garden, and a deer park. Walter offers a truly unique and sustainable escape, blending tranquillity, comfort, and a touch of adventure, a perfect haven for your next getaway.

The beautiful seaside resort of Wells-next-the-Sea is a bustling port town resting on the North coastline of Norfolk, complemented by a sandy beach, colourful harbour, and bordered by stunning pinewoods, making for the perfect family-friendly beach holiday.

Local attractions include a historic harbour, the Buttlands town green, the dramatic Holkham Hall, and the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway, as well as an attractive selection of boutique shops, supermarkets, gastropubs, fine dining, delis, and traditional fish and chips at the Quay.
