The Engine House BOS, Burnham Overy Staithe

About this property

The Engine House forms part of a fabulous converted water mill with beautiful views, near the village of Burnham Overy Staithe. It is a National Trust property but under private ownership.

The original chimney forms the centrepiece to the property and now houses a cosy wood burning stove. The exposed timbers throughout are original to the house and were reclaimed from an old ship.The double height open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is beautifully light and there are lovely views out of the rear windows onto the river, where guests have reported seeing a regular barn owl, dozens of wildfowl and waders, and even an otter and a water vole from the comfort of the house.

The property boasts two bathrooms, a double and twin bedroom and a cosy galleried snug on the first floor, which looks down onto the main living area. The rear outdoor decked area looks over the river to the meadows beyond and is a gorgeous peaceful spot to enjoy a coffee and watch wildlife all around you, looking over National Trust land.

The Engine House provides spacious living accommodation for four people and is a super base from which to explore the North Norfolk coast. It is situated midway between Burnham Market and Burnham Overy Staithe; and for those who enjoy walking, it's not too far to either village. It is also very close to the coast path and has a wonderful walk to the beach across the marshes.
