The details

Tucked at the historic entrance to the magnificent Worstead Park, Gatehouse South is a charming and characterful escape that blends heritage architecture with modern comfort. Once one of two gatehouses framing the estate’s grand approach, this thoughtfully restored single-storey retreat now offers a peaceful stay just moments from the sweeping Lime Tree Boulevard and acres of glorious countryside beyond. With its private hot tub, cosy interiors and access to 300 acres of parkland, this is a place to truly slow down and soak up your surroundings.

Inside, the layout is wonderfully practical yet inviting, making it ideal for families or small groups. The kitchen and dining room form the heart of the home, fully equipped for everything from lazy breakfasts to hearty evening feasts. After dinner, retreat to the snug where the log burner crackles away, creating the perfect spot to curl up with a film or a board game. There’s also a handy boot room, ideal for muddy boots after long countryside walks.

The three bedrooms are beautifully presented, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for up to six guests. There’s an ensuite king size bedroom for added privacy, a second king size room and a versatile twin room that can also be set up as a super-king size bed. A family bathroom ensures there’s plenty of space for everyone to refresh and unwind.

Step outside and you’ll find just as much to love. The garden wraps around two sides of the property, with a spacious patio perfect for alfresco dining thanks to the gas BBQ and outdoor seating. To the rear, a secluded garden hides your private six-seater hot tub – ideal for long, relaxing soaks under the stars. Beyond your gate, Worstead Park awaits, with woodland trails, lakeside walks and endless space to explore.

During your stay, you’ll also have access to the wider estate, spanning over 2,000 acres, where you can enjoy a variety of activities and experiences suitable for all ages. Whether you’re wandering through ancient woodland, discovering local wildlife or simply enjoying the peace of the Norfolk countryside, there’s plenty here to fill your days.
