Gallus House

Description

Who’d have thought tradition would sit so well with modernity and be so comfortable? As you contemplate the stunning flint façade from the relaxation of your hot tub, you know you’ll only need the one hashtag: #onholiday

Farmhouse fabulous

The first impression always counts and this traditional farmhouse makes a very good one. As you draw up outside the extremely elegant façade of finest Norfolk brick and flint, you know you’ve all arrived at something of a ‘des res’. Original features such as noble beams, stunning brick fireplaces and sneak peeks at flint walls set the backdrop for a very modern holiday home offering ultimate comfort.

Grown-ups will be drawn to the main sitting room where soft grey sofas invite you to kick back and relax. Black and white accents add just the right contrast and the glass tables go so well with the giant brick fireplace and wooden floors. This styling at its best continues in the modern dining and kitchen area, simply stunning in sleek white and black granite with chrome appliances.

We imagine the children, plus up to two furry friends, will already have made the second living room their own. Who wouldn’t when amongst the bold blues and mustards a chest full of games and toys just asks to be opened! Table tennis also awaits outside where you’ll find a spacious garden with lots of lawns for letting off steam. And the ultimate relaxation spot: the hot tub. Perfect for a leisurely soak while someone prepares a gourmet dish or two with all that delicious local fare in the kitchen or on the barbecue.

Venture outside your haven of traditional modernity and discover the delights of the Norfolk coast. Northrepps sits just 2 miles from the quiet sandy beaches this part of the UK is so famous for. And then for a little more of the action, head to Cromer with all the fun of the seaside fair. But if this all sounds a bit too much when you’re #onholiday, the village pub is just over the road.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Like the rest of the house, the four bedrooms ooze elegance and comfort and are convertible to suit different sleeping arrangements. Two have en suite shower rooms and there’s also a family bathroom plus a handy downstairs cloakroom.
