Nightjar
Holme Next the Sea, Norfolk, UK
A little daring, wonderfully indulgent and somewhere between an architect’s wildest imagination and a secret tropical paradise. Nightjar is a striking creation of sculptural timber and soaring glass, where exquisitely styled interiors appear to float amongst the treetops, overlooking an unexpected oasis of lush greenery. Beyond, a secluded pool glistens between the foliage, terraces bask in the afternoon sunshine, and long summer evenings melt into the magic of Norfolk’s star-studded skies.
Introduction
An architectural masterpiece with a wonderfully unexpected softer side, where afternoons drift between sun-warmed terraces and cooling dips in the secluded plunge pool, before the darkness brings a sky scattered with stars. A place to escape the familiar and fall in love with somewhere entirely different.
Inside
Nightjar is every bit as remarkable on the inside as its architecture suggests. A beautiful interplay of natural timber, warm textures, sculptural lighting and unexpected flashes of colour brings personality to every room. Vast walls of glass invite the landscape inside, while carefully curated interiors soften the home's striking architectural lines, creating a wonderful balance of drama and comfort.
Life at Nightjar is quite literally turned upside down, with the first floor devoted to spectacular living spaces that appear to float amongst the treetops. Here, the kitchen, dining and sitting areas flow effortlessly between spaces made for coming together and quieter corners to escape to. With two beautiful balconies overlooking the surrounding greenery, the changing light and Norfolk's endless skies become part of the experience.
Downstairs, four boutique hotel inspired bedrooms offer a more intimate atmosphere, where restful tones, sumptuous textures and a lovely connection to the garden create a welcome contrast to the openness above. A collection of spa-esque bathrooms and a practical utility room complete the main house.
And then there's the annexe. A little world of its own, with a fifth bedroom, private sitting room and shower room, offering a wonderful sense of independence without feeling far from the heart of the home. Ideal for grandparents, extended family or friends, it's a lovely addition for those who want to share the experience of Nightjar while enjoying a little sanctuary of their own.
Outside
Step outside and the unexpected continues. There's something almost otherworldly about Nightjar's garden, where towering ferns, feathery grasses and lush, tropical-inspired planting soften the dramatic lines of the timber-and-glass architecture. A beautiful tangle of textures and greenery surrounds the house, creating a secluded oasis that feels a million miles from the everyday.
Between the lush greenery and sun-warmed stone, a secluded plunge pool offers an irresistible invitation to cool off, before retreating to the loungers for another afternoon beneath the Norfolk sunshine. Find a sunny spot beneath the parasol, open a bottle of something chilled and let the afternoon unfold around you. Beyond, a beautifully kept lawn and raised beds overflowing with greenery add another layer to this rather extraordinary outdoor space.
Above it all, the house makes its presence felt. Its dramatic glass-fronted upper floor seems to hover over the garden, while balconies and terraces offer their own little pockets of sunshine and seclusion. From here, the view stretches across the treetops, with Norfolk's enormous skies changing colour as the day draws to a close.
Beyond the gates, and only a short walk away you'll discover the much loved White Horse pub and it's award winning bakery, and not forgetting easy access the beautiful beach at Holme.
There is ample off road parking behind an electric gate to the front of the property.
