Property information

The Old Rectory is undoubtedly the ultimate private large coastal house, with a fabulous outdoor heated swimming pool and a tennis court, enviably located in designer landscaped grounds with stunning uninterrupted coastal views. We are delighted to offer guests the opportunity to stay in this gorgeous house, stylishly renovated by interior designers for use as a main residence, now available for a luxurious holiday let or as individual room lets on a bed and breakfast basis. This is simply the perfect place for small groups who love to explore, couples on a romantic getaway, or family and friends to indulge themselves throughout the year with several beautifully presented reception rooms, generously proportioned bedrooms and a separate Stable block providing annexe accommodation for a couple or small family. The professionally designed grounds are a delight, having been carefully planned to create a series of external rooms. It is ideally located within walking distance of the beautiful coast, the shops and cafe at Burnham Deepdale and only two miles from the Georgian village of Burnham Market.

Neighbourhood information

Situated on the North Norfolk Coast set between the villages of Brancaster and Burnham Overy Staithe, merging into one with Brancaster Staithe. Most notable is the Dalegate Market in Burnham Deepdale which has a large convenience shop and garage and Deepdale Cafe, ideal for refreshments after a walk along the coastal path and renowned for it's fabulous breakfasts. There is also bicycle hire and a tourist information centre, a range of clothing and lifestyle shops and also live music at local pubs and bars, to the brilliant Spring and Christmas markets available up and down the coastal road we are situated on! The coastal path is on the doorstep and is ideal for spotting bird life and photography, across the salt marshes and Scolt Head Island. During the autumn and winter the skies fill with pink footed geese, tens of thousands of cackling flocks arrive in Norfolk and depart by the spring. The quintessential village of Burnham Market, is south of Burnham Deepdale, where you can source most Norfolk delicacies like Brancaster mussels, Cromer Crab, samphire and the famous fish cakes from Gurneys. This is a popular destination which makes a lovely day out too!
