About this property

A fabulous base from which to explore North Norfolk's big outdoors, inland and coastal, and a simply lovely peaceful luxurious retreat to return to after a great day out and about. The Bolt House is found in the heart of the pretty village of Great Walsingham, the little sister to the nearby greater Little Walsingham. Confused? That's Normal for Norfolk!

The Bolt House is a detached period property sitting proudly in its spacious plot within the private Old Foundry complex. Formerly a late Victorian warehouse, it is now the perfect blend of character and contemporary charm. Under new ownership in 2024, it has been fully renovated and designed by London interior design house 201 Lvyn. You will find a brand new fitted kitchen layout and easy on the eye styling that flows seamlessly from one room to the next and works wonderfully well with the exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings throughout the house.

The ground floor is predominantly open-plan; a spacious dual aspect living space with a streamlined kitchen catering for every need with an adjacent dining area set to one end of the room, both overlooking and leading into an ultra-comfortable and super-relaxing chill out zone at the other, where a wood burning stove provides extra warmth to all areas. Just the place to be when a cosy night in beckons. Midway along the room French doors open to the south facing garden and bring in even more light so it stays bright and light even on the dullest of days.

Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings encourage an overall sense of space and light. With three inviting bedrooms to choose from (a super-king, double and full-size single), all with top quality mattresses and dressed with fine quality linen, sleepy heads are guaranteed a blissful night's rest. There are two bathrooms on this level too, one of which is en-suite to the master. There's a cloakroom on the lower level too.

Outside, you can take your pick of two sunny seating areas (there is a shaded area under the trees) as well as a dining patio with a Weber barbecue to light as the fancy takes you. If you should feel like stepping out and stretching your legs there is a popular cafe just around the corner, selling snacks and drinks, and a couple of tempting art galleries to browse. An easy twenty minute walk away is Little Walsingham, where there is a farm shop, two good pubs, cafes and a general store.

The Bolt House is the perfect year round holiday hideaway for couples, friends and families. A short drive will take you to some of the most beautiful beaches, the nearest being at Wells-next-the-Sea. Explore the charming coastal towns and pretty flint villages that are dotted along the stunning North Norfolk coastline, and sample some wonderful local produce at a variety of excellent eateries.

    Lovely stay at The Bolt House - a treat from start to finish! The house is cosy and well equipped, making it a perfect base for exploring nearby gems like Wolterton Hall and Blickling Hall. We especially enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and very comfortable accommodation. Another highlight was afternoon tea at Wiveton cafe by The Norfolk Tea Company. Hope to return soon and will definitely recommend The Bolt House to friends and family. Thank you.

    We had the most wonderful time here. The Bolt House was absolutely perfect; cosy, beautifully kept and full of Norfolk charm. The beautiful surroundings, fresh coastal air and sunny Norfolk countryside made it the ideal place to unwind and recharge. Thank you for all the thoughtful touches that made our stay so special. The welcoming atmosphere to the little details that made it feel like a true home away from home. We'll take with us many happy memories of long walks, quiet mornings, wonderful pub dinners and evenings by the fire. We hope to return soon to this lovely corner of the world.

    What a lovely stay. Beautiful place, lovely walks. O'Brennans is lovely for coffee and cake and Sunday lunch is delicious. We loved Wells and all the other villages. All in all great place, thank you.
