Burnham Market

Located on the western side of Herrings Lane, Long Meadow is a strikingly attractive, substantial four bedroom house with an incredible central reception room.

What is immediately apparent about Long Meadow is the opulence of the ground floor living and entertaining space. From the generous and welcoming entrance hall you are naturally drawn into the breathtaking centrepiece, the triple height reception room. With almost church-like proportions this room is simply stunning. Whether your eyes are drawn upwards to the vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, towards the incredibly grand stone fireplace - which would not look incongruous in a medieval manor house, or out through those enormous barn style windows, across the uninterrupted farm and parkland beyond, this is a room that will make you stop in your tracks. In summer time have the bi-fold doors open and allow the cool coastal air to waft through, or come the winter and picture a roaring fire warming your back as you watch the squadrons of geese flying across that amazing vista as the sun sets.

Double doors take you through to the equally generous 37' kitchen/dining room with elegant kitchen units flanking the central island at one end, and ample space for a large dining table at the other. It is easy to picture exciting holiday adventures being planned over breakfast, followed by tales of heroics and mischief as everyone gathers again for the evening meal, drifting in from the terrace to sit and enjoy each other's company. At the other end of the house is a large home office albeit, with those stunning views in front of you, it could be a difficult room to concentrate in! Next door is the games and TV room for young and old to escape to for some time out.

The grand staircase leads up to a very generous landing looking down over the reception room, which could almost be a minstrels gallery such is the space. All four bedrooms are large double bedroom suites with the principal having a walk in dressing room and Juliette balcony looking west.

Outside and to the front there is both a garage and an open cart shed, whilst the garden wraps around the rest of the house and, in a tribute to the grandson of Giles Gilbert Scott who lived in the Burnhams, there is a fully refurbished (and working) British Telephone Box set within the grounds. Mostly laid to lawn and very private, there is terracing immediately off the back of the house and the owners love nothing more than sitting out here on a summer evening, cold glass of wine in hand and watching the sun set in the distance.

Long Meadow has been a much loved family home since it was completed some 12 years ago. It has been a base from which all have adventured out to enjoy the myriad of outdoor activities North Norfolk is famed for before returning back to its splendid sanctuary.  

BURNHAM MARKET Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world-famous horse trials, or an afternoon browsing pretty boutiques-there are many ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel of north Norfolk.

Located near the River Burn, the village is historically linked to Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived nearby in Burnham Thorpe.

Refined elegance defines village life. Traditional homewares at Uttings, tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli, or Gurneys Fish Shop-this place savors the finer things. Dining out is a joy with award-winning Socius offering British-inspired tapas, and NoTwenty9's bar and restaurant providing a relaxed spot for summer evenings.

Fashion thrives on the Champagne coast. For chic style, head to Anna's boutique, The Hat Shop for fancy headwear, Gun Hill Clothing Company for country attire, or Joules and Jack Wills for casual wear. For culture, explore Burnham Market's art galleries-the Fairfax Gallery and Pococks the Artmonger. For self-care, well-being boutique Aura 37 offers sustainable brands. If you have little ones, visit Mable's with its pink frontage for pot painting or traditional sweets.

Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe, and Burnham Thorpe, boast some of the finest houses on the coast. Whether your dream is a Georgian classic, a traditional cottage, or a sleek contemporary house, this is a perfect place to discover your forever home.
