Cool stay of the week: a traditional Norfolk beach house with a modern twist

Just behind the dunes at Waxham Beach, Norfolk, you'll find a modern take on a traditional Norfolk beach house.

With its own private garden and terrace, it's the perfect place to spend some down time as soak up the sun and solitude.

With its simple modern design with mid-century touches and splashes of colour, the Scandinavian styling will inspire you to go home and redecorate. There is an expansive kitchen and a separate games room, making it perfect for families.

The master bedroom offers a king size bed, with luxury bedding as well as patio doors that lead directly onto the terrace. The second bedroom also offers a king size bed with a single full height window with views out into the garden. The third bedroom is a twin with more doors out onto the terrace. There is a family bathroom and a shower room and the gardens have a large grassy area and a terrace for al fresco dining with the BBQ and outdoor seating.

Housed within an Area of Outstanding Beauty, the beach at Waxham is one of the UK’s finest beaches and rarely gets crowded. You are also just half an hour's drive from the cathedral city of Norwich. For those looking to explore the Norfolk waterways, Hickling Broad and Horsey Mere are within a few miles.
