West Heath

Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, UK
Sleeps 10 | Bedrooms 5 | Bathrooms 4 | Maximum 3 Dogs
Nestled on the edge of Barrow Common, where Brancaster Staithe’s wild beauty meets coastal refinement, West Heath is a retreat of understated luxury. Centred around a main house that sleeps six, this is an escape full of soothing shades, natural textures and thoughtful design, effortlessly bringing the outdoors into every room. Spend slow mornings watching the sunrise spill over the terrace, enjoy wholesome evenings by the wood-burning stove, and fill the hours in between making most of the location; the harbour filled with sail boats, mud-sliding into tidal creeks, and ambling along the coastal path toward the beach. Then wander down to whichever pub matches your vibe, whether that’s sea views, sea shanties or just a pod serving mussels. And should you be dreaming of a little more space, there’s a sleeps-four annex that invites larger groups to gather in one place.

*Please note that this property can also be booked as a sleeps 6 option outside of school holidays*

Introduction

Step into West Heath, a cool coastal home from home tucked away in the popular village of Brancaster Staithe. A modern retreat with a country twist, think exposed beams, natural textures, earthy tones and endless glass giving you a front row seat to the breathtaking coastal countryside and famous Norfolk skies beyond. It's time to pack your bags, grab the gang and head to North Norfolk for a week or two of pure relaxation.

Inside

The hub of the home is the open-plan living area with spacious kitchen and dining zones, enjoy lazy mornings gathered around the counter with warm flaky pastries and cappuccinos while you plan your days adventure. Supper parties spent around the large dining table with stoned baked pizzas from The Jolly Sailors pub or a homemade feast of steaming local mussels, buttery bread and a glass of fizz over games of uno and gin rummy from the in house games cupboard.

Glide open the floor to ceiling doors letting in the salty sea breeze and summer rays as you fire up the bbq, having stocked up on fresh fish from Staithe Smokehouse. Watch the little ones run wild in inside and outside, games of hide and seek and tag as you bask in the summers day.

Winter at West Heath is just as good, long windswept walks on Brancaster beach followed by cosy afternoons in front of the roaring wood burner with movies and popcorn. Alternatively find a quiet corner of the snug to curl up with a good book and a glass of something red, as you listen to the rain pattering on the glass around you.

Wake up to the sounds of the sea from one of the two boutique hotel worthy en-suite bedrooms upstairs in the main house or opt for the stylish ground floor bedroom with it's own private shower room. For larger groups you can add the contemporary annexe located at the rear of the property with two further spacious twin bedrooms and a shared shower room.

Outside

Whatever the time of year the large sprawling lawn invites al fresco dining and endless play. From here, enjoy direct access to Barrow Common, perfect for scenic walks with your pooch and exploring the natural beauty of North Norfolk. And after your day on the beach sandy toes and muddy boots can be washed away at the outdoor shower.

There is ample off-road parking on the shingle driveway which is fully enclosed behind large electric gates.

Located close to the coastline, awarding winning local pubs, and attractions, West Heath is the ideal base for adventures and memories to be made by the sea.

West Heath

Quick guide to your location

A key destination for any visit to the North Norfolk coast, the Brancaster’s offer a wide range of activities and opportunities for all ages. Both villages have been formed around the ‘coast road’ (A149) and can easily be explored by walking the pathways that link the two together. You will find excellent places to eat, offering locally caught produce from the harbour at Brancaster Staithe.

For the foodies among the group, you are located just a short walk from the popular Jolly Sailors pub and within walking distance of the award-winning White Horse restaurant and Deepdale Café in the adjoining village of Burnham Deepdale. Here you will also find a selection of shops and a petrol station making up Deepdale Market. You are also within walking distance of the harbour where you will find the coastal path for stunning walks, sailing facilities, the Fish Shed where you can buy freshly caught seafood and the children can spend endless hours crabbing from the harbour wall. The expansive sandy beach at Brancaster is also just 2 miles away.
