Sedum House, an architectural masterpiece built within the landscape and topography of its environment, is an all-year-round showstopper, ideal for a family, group of friends or couples enjoying a short stay or longer holiday. Located in the rural, peaceful village of Gimingham, this exceptional detached retreat is only a few minutes' drive from North Norfolk's stunning heritage coastline, and fifteen minutes on foot.
As well as being an upside-down architectural triumph embedded and concealed within its terrain, Sedum House has super stylish living quarters and ticks all the boxes for eco credentials too as it is completely power self-sufficient with photovoltaic solar panels and a ground source heat pump. Luxurious underfloor heating keeps this contemporary pad warm all year round, and the revolving wood burning stove - swivelling between the sitting room area and open-plan kitchen / diner - seals the deal for a cosy break any time of the year. There are five bedrooms on the ground floor; the master bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite with a slipper bath, there are three double bedrooms plus a twin room with two family bathrooms to share, one with a bath and separate walk-in shower, and a separate shower room just off the utility room. A large games room with all the toys - Smart television and Wii console, table tennis table, snooker table, dart board and outdoor games such as croquet and giant Jenga - overlooks the front garden. The beating heart of the house is the first floor, with its double aspect light and airy open plan living space, which blends into the outdoors via invisible sliding doors. A fully equipped kitchen leads on to the dining area, which in turn spills on to the outdoor entertaining terrace. With garden furniture, sun loungers, a charcoal barbecue and a firepit there really is no reason to leave! A comfortable sitting room with a Smart television and soft leather sofas has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden and offers a pleasant place to retire to if the evening turns chilly or watching a film takes your fancy.
Situated in an idyllic, quiet and rural location, you have immediate access to footpaths and can walk to the beach in quarter of an hour or join the coastal path from the doorstep. Exploring the many picturesque seaside villages and towns to the east and west by bicycle or car is easy, or you could spend the day on a boat on the Norfolk Broads, returning to this lovely tranquil base after a full day's activities or sightseeing. One thing is for sure, once experienced, you'll want to come back to Sedum House time and again!
