The 7 Hares, Sheringwood

About this property

The 7 Hares is a pretty wooden lodge, nestled into Sheringwood, tucked in a quiet spot yet very close to the beautiful North Norfolk coast. Built by the current owners, the contemporary eco building was designed by London architects ArtIsMedicine, with light and views from every aspect as the priority. The building sits proudly within the landscape and the Velux windows, doors and windows enhance Norfolk's big skies.

The decked entrance, adorned with eclectic sculptures, plants and twinkly lighting, leads directly into the main living space. Cleverly styled throughout and arranged over two floors, it has a fabulous open-plan sitting and dining space, and wet room on the ground floor with underfloor heating. The impressive sitting room has a full height ceiling, sculptural lighting, art and lamps. It is very much designed for comfortable and sociable living with plenty of seating, including three sofas, arm chairs with colourful cushions, a contemporary coffee table and side tables and a hidden Smart television in a cabinet. Each space is dotted with interesting pieces of art and sculptures. There are windows or doors on each wall, bringing in the wonderful light and with views to the outside. In the sitting room, there is a beautiful contemporary Bio Ethanol fire, creating a cosy atmosphere for curling up on the sofa and chatting or reading a book. (One bottle of lighter fluid is provided for you). The kitchen continues in this vein, with a Nespresso coffee machine, glass dining table and a well fitted kitchen with all the amenities you could want. On the first floor are two spacious bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, quality furnishings and the Velux windows give maximum light and create the feeling that you are sleeping under the stars. One also has an en-suite shower.

The garden is equally enchanting, surrounding you with nature, peace, art and sculpture. The 7 Hares name came about because hares in the Buddhist tradition symbolise peace and tranquillity and coincidentally, the owners spotted seven hares playing in the nearby fields. Internally and externally, the building reflects the personality and careers of both owners, through sculpture, art, lighting and design and is beautifully styled with flair and colour, giving it an inviting and welcoming feel. The owner's unique handmade jewellery is also exhibited in a cabinet on the ground floor.

Sheringwood, Beeston Regis is best known for being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views from it's highest viewpoint of the coast. There are plenty of walks on your doorstep, with a woodland walk to Sheringham town and the beach, just two miles away. There are also plenty of other walks, following the coastal path in either direction. West Runton beach is in the other direction or Cromer a little further afield. All in all, The 7 Hares makes fantastic coastal retreat for friends and family to relax and recharge.
