Thursford Castle
England / Thursford, Norfolk
An ultra-luxurious, deliciously ‘secret' North Norfolk hideaway, created from the restored ruins of a romantic Gothic chapel just fifteen minutes from the coast.
Unique and mesmerising, Thursford Castle is the very definition of a hideaway. You'd simply never know it was there at all, unless you've been let in on the ‘secret'.
If you have, you'll discover the castle in a triangular landscaped garden, beautifully secluded amongst idyllic North Norfolk countryside that's a mere fifteen-minute drive from the coast.
A jaw-dropping project worthy of the grandest designs, the retreat - recently featured on Channel 4's Extraordinary Escapes - has been created from the romantic ruins of a Gothic chapel, carefully preserving historic features whilst offering the ultimate in indulgent modern-day comfort.
The exterior, a gleaming, glazed quadrangle fronted by elegant chapel remains, boasts the ‘wow-factor' in spades, while inside await toasty underfloor heating, sleek mod-cons, and sumptuous furnishings.
These include a double-sided wood-burning stove with a sliding door, a softly-furnished snug, and a deluxe superking master bedroom occupying its very own glazed hallway (there are three more en-suite bedrooms to choose from: two kingsize and one twin).
Once you've explored inside, relax with a glass of wine out in the furnished courtyard... or take a sunset stroll around the large garden that surrounds the house instead, marvelling at your good holiday fortune all the while.
