  • Historic property of great character and charm, with many original features including triptych windows

Property code: OC-1784

This stunning character property, situated in Sedgeford within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is perfect for you and your guests. Sleeping five over three charming bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, you don’t need to leave anyone behind! Built in 1642, this ancient historic building has its own quirks with uneven floor levels and steps, giving you a sense of its history as a disguised munitions store during the English Civil War. Spend sunny evenings in the wrap-around garden, watching the children play on the lawn while you sizzle up a BBQ and watch from the outside seating on the patio.

This unique holiday home retains many original features, and the owners have furnished and decorated it in keeping with its age. Beautiful flooring, a barn door to the garden and a stunning brick fireplace in the kitchen make it a delight to cook in, while exposed beams, feature light fittings and large windows in the open-plan living area create a cosy atmosphere. Sit in a sunny spot with a book or curl up in front of the wood burner that hides under the stairs. Exposed beams, neutral decor and wooden furniture in the bedrooms promote a great night’s sleep.

When you can tear yourself away, head off down Peddars Way that runs straight past the front door on your bike or on foot. There’s a pub just 1 mile away to stop at on your return journey. Children will love a day at the beach at Heacham South Beach (3miles) or Hunstanton (5 miles), while grown-ups might prefer a stroll along Snettisham Beach and the RSPB reserve (7 miles). You can’t visit this part of Norfolk without visiting Norfolk Lavender (2.5 miles) where there’s a soft play and animal centre to keep the little ones busy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Magazine. The cottage had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped, plenty of hot water for a good soak in the bath after a day out walking and very comfortable beds. Its situation is perfect for the coast and walking the many footpaths in the area.

Wonderful house. Perfect christmas get away. Kitchen is brilliantly stock with useful equipment including sharp knives, scales, tin opener, electric hand whisk, etc. I cooked a full roast and hot dinners with proper puddings and had everything I needed. Very quirky being on 3 floors and 380 years old. Very cosy, heating and woodburner were great anRead mored very comfortable beds. Shower was amazing and enjoyed by all of us. Would visit again if we wanted to see more of that part of Norfolk. Hide

The Magazine was a lovely property with deer seen each morning on the Peddar's Way right outside. The history of the property was fascinating and despite it's age, it was warm and comfortable. Within easy reach of the Coast and Holkham Hall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

This property has a fascinating history and is great for a short stay. It has excellent walks from the door and provides easy access to west and north Norfolk coasts too.

A wonderfully quirky property with some challenges (number of stairs) But that is the charm of staying in such an historic place. The sitting room was very light thanks to the huge windows, also very comfortable. The property was extremely well equipped with homely touches throughout. Lovely wraparound garden with outside seating. The location is vRead moreery convenient for easy access to the coast, Sandringham, Holham, Wells etc. The only downside was the amount of traffic noise from the B1454 running past the property. There was more than we had anticipated from a B class road and it was very noticeable especially when sitting in the garden. Hide

The Magazine experience for us was brilliant. We and our daughter and young granddaughter plus our two dogs had magnificent walks along Peddars Way. The cars were hardly needed until we ventured further afield to the glorious pubs, cafs, beaches and other facilities!

What a lovely place. Such a charming building. Very clever how it had been renovated. We all had a lovely time and really appreciate you letting us stay in such a special place which was convenient for the beaches and Sandringham. I feel inspired to walk the Peddars Way.
