Burnham Norton

Marshgate, a charming family cottage under the same ownership for over 40 years, offers flexible living spaces both indoors and outdoors.

Upon entering Marshgate, it's easy to see why the family has cherished it for decades. Its period charm and inviting atmosphere creates a warm welcome. The peaceful, unchanged village setting has been a constant delight. Nearby, the sandy, uncrowded beaches of Scolt Head Island have been a favourite retreat, while Burnham Market, just a short walk away, has always been a draw-from teenage visits to The Hoste for a pint to fine dining while grandparents entertain the children.

Marshgate's location is perfect for summer holidays in north Norfolk, yet equally delightful in winter, with cozy evenings by the log burner after blustery walks. The multiple living rooms provide ample space for everyone to find their own retreat. Each room, from the lively dining area filled with family laughter to the garden room perfect for evening sundowners, exudes unique character.

The family shares countless fond memories-crabbing, paddling, and boating in Burnham Overy Staithe, and lively games in the spacious front garden. Witnessing the autumn spectacle of winter geese flying overhead has been a cherished tradition, as their children embraced the wholesome joys of this magical location, just as they did.

Burnham Norton is a truly exceptional village where properties seldom enter the market. Amidst coastal areas marked by new developments and changing aesthetics, this unique place, steadfast in its traditions, holds a special charm that the family hopes will endure unchanged for years to come.
