First Staithe Field & Boathouse

The Main House

Entrance

As soon as you turn the key and walk into the large hallway you’ll be impressed! With a large open plan living space and an impressive staircase leading off, there is plenty of space for socialising and even a multi-sports table (pool, table tennis or air hockey) for entertainment - healthy competition is advised!

Kitchen/Dining Room

On the ground floor you’ll discover a delightful kitchen/dining area with vaulted ceiling and white-washed roof beams, with a large wall of windows and French doors to the rear making the room light and bright all year round. With the dining table located overlooking the grounds and a sit-up area to the kitchen island, this is a great place for friends and family to gather. Through the French doors you’ll find a beautiful, terraced area where you can dine alfresco overlooking the marsh. A stone fireplace with open fire gives this area a cosy ambience during the winter months.

First Staithe Field is well equipped with an Aga, electric oven with induction hob, dishwasher, microwave, American fridge/freezer with ice dispenser, integrated pantry and a washing machine which are housed in the ground floor wet room.

Sitting Room

The large sitting room has plenty of comfy seating for you to relax on in the evening and a fabulous wood burner where you can warm your toes in the winter while watching a good film. With French doors onto the south-facing walled garden, which is full of perennials and roses during the summer, this is a beautiful room to enjoy throughout the year. To the side of the property you’ll find the small walled croquet lawn.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Boasting five beautifully appointed bedrooms with sumptuous linens and all with views over the grounds and marsh, this property has the wow factor in bucket-loads.

Downstairs you’ll find a four-poster double bed and a double bedroom which are served by a family bathroom and wet room respectively, perfect for washing the sand from those sandy toes. At the end of the same hallway you’ll find the children’s bedroom with two sets of bunk beds and a good selection of toys which also has its own en-suite bathroom. All rooms have French doors onto the rear terrace so on a summer evening you can breathe in the salty sea air.

Upstairs on the first floor you’ll find the large master bedroom suite, tucked away from the other bedrooms. Featuring a super king bed and French doors that open onto a beautiful glass-fronted balcony overlooking the marsh and sea with fabulous views to Scolt Head Island, this is certainly the room your guests will be fighting over! On a warm evening fling open the doors and enjoy watching the sun go down or enjoy a spot of star gazing. The master suite is serviced by a large bathroom which again comes with unsurpassed marsh views and has a large bath and separate built-in shower with twin hand basins.

There is an additional twin bedroom on this floor with views to the east and to the north over the marsh.

Climb a further staircase to the second floor and you will find a wonderfully luxurious bathroom with feature roll-top slipper bath. This is a wonderful place to relax with a glass of wine and savour the fantastic views from the tub while having a long soak.

There is a cloakroom on the ground floor too.

Please note that one room on the second floor will remain locked during the rental period. Please note that stairgates cannot be fitted to the staircase so can only be used in a bedroom doorway.

The Boathouse

Nestled at the bottom of the expansive garden, The Boathouse provides additional accommodation for up to 6 guests, perfect for those who want their own space while not being too far away from the rest of the party. This unique retreat is full of character, rustic charm, quirky furnishings, and has a very relaxed and natural ambience.

Living Area

The open plan living area offers a very relaxed, sociable area with a rustic, beach theme and is made up of a kitchen, lounge area and dining area. There is a lobby area to the side where you can hang your coats and store your shoes while the French doors to the rear open onto an enclosed patio with stunning views across the fields and out to sea - the ideal spot for a picture-perfect sunset!

The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need, including an oven and hob, dishwasher, sink, small fridge with a freezer compartment, microwave, kettle and toaster. Decorated with a classic surfboard, a funky palm tree and four breakfast stools. The lounge area is furnished with bespoke raised chairs and a large sofa. The chairs have been hand-made out of pallets and the sofa has been built using a combination of rustic wood and corrugated iron, both are finished with large, padded cushions. There is also a coffee table and a wall-mounted TV with a built in DVD player. The dining area features a wooden dining table with six wrought iron stools. There is also a table football table for some added entertainment.

There is a wine rack cleverly built into an old boat and a pair of traditional wooden school desks that may evoke some nostalgia and you have access to the ground floor wet room where you will find a walk-in shower, WC, sink and heated towel rail.
