Georgian Gate House

About this property

Step through the stone-columned portico and into the timeless charm of Georgian Gate House, a beautifully restored Grade II listed cottage set at the entrance to Wolterton Park. Surrounded by peaceful meadows and enclosed by traditional estate fencing, this elegant three-bedroom retreat offers a slice of refined countryside living.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting — from the glow of the open fire in the sitting room to the wood-panelled dining room perfect for leisurely dinners. The kitchen, with its freestanding units and characterful quirks, opens onto a sunny breakfast area where mornings begin slowly, with coffee and garden views. Bedrooms are dressed in crisp Egyptian linens, with two stylish ensuites featuring cast iron baths and period fittings.

Wander outside into your own private garden, ideal for evening barbecues or a quiet moment beneath the trees. And when the mood strikes, stroll just minutes down the lane to The Saracen’s Head — a friendly Georgian inn serving hearty, seasonal fare. Guests are also welcome to explore the majestic Hall and its vast parkland, where stories of the past unfold with every step. A tranquil hideaway, full of history, character and charm.

Georgian Gate House is nestled within a historic park estate in the heart of North Norfolk, surrounded by rolling meadows and ancient woodland. The property is less than five minutes’ walk from The Saracen’s Head, a charming Georgian inn offering a warm welcome and delicious seasonal menu. Guests staying here are perfectly placed to explore the Hall’s grand interiors and its 500 acres of landscaped parkland, complete with lakes, hidden statues, and elegant garden walks crafted by Charles Bridgeman.

The nearby town of Holt offers a wonderful mix of antique shops, art galleries and independent boutiques, while the sandy beaches of the North Norfolk coast — including Cromer, Sheringham and Holkham — are all within easy reach. The area is steeped in history, from stately homes like Blickling and Felbrigg to the stories of Norfolk’s maritime past. Whether you’re here for walking, wildlife or simply to switch off, this peaceful corner of Norfolk has something for everyone.
