About this property

Stunning New Property with Roof Terrace and Amazing Views

NB - Covid-19. Should bookings have to be cancelled due to Covid-19, a 100% refund will be issued, regardless of the our normal Terms and Conditions.

Completed in March 2020, Freeholders is a unique new property with far-reaching views. Living accommodation is on the first floor and has beautiful oak flooring throughout. The open plan living/dining/kitchen area has a wall of windows overlooking the creek. A large dining table, huge squishy sofa and well-equipped kitchen with a fully controllable Electrickit Aga, make this a comfortable and convivial space. The two bedrooms have kingsized beds and original features. The bedroom at the front of the house has a drop down window allowing guests to lounge in bed and admire the marshes. The first floor bathroom has a bath with shower and downstairs there is an additional shower room. A very special feature of this property is the secluded roof terrace with 360 degree views, furniture for lounging and dining, and a dumbwaiter to bring food and drink from the kitchen. There is a car parking space opposite the house.

NB If you need more beds (up to 6) and would like to bring your canine companion on holiday, have a look at our next-door property, Hampden House, which has a lovely terrace overlooking the creek. Homeaway listing 6518975.

UPDATE - Freeholders has just won a commendation in the American Institute of Architects awards for 2021:
AIA UK 2021 Virtual Design Awards Gala
…Next is special commendation in the Professional Practice Small Projects category.
Jane Duncan - Judge:
“I am given the great and wonderful task of giving a special commendation in the professional practice small projects category and that commendation goes to Freeholders by Mole Architects. This is a low-key and fantastically contextual design for a house which is so beautifully detailed and so quiet you could actually walk by it without noticing it was there, but it shows masterful craftsmanship, a wonderful and exquisitely flowing design for the plan and the section on a really awkward site. The whole jury was knocked out in particular by the living space and that absolutely brilliantly framed view - to die for and the ceiling height which really just set it off - we all just wanted to live there! Congratulations!”
Ian Bramwell - Mole Architects:
“Well thank you so much it's a real honour to accept this award from the Institute for
Freeholders. Freeholders was a wonderful project to be involved in and is located in such an exceptional site on the waterfront in Wells-Next-The-Sea, in the middle of a conservation area. Of course projects like this just don't happen without exceptional clients and Jon and Jane had vision, aspiration and ambition to produce something out of the ordinary and they really pushed us to design and deliver a building that exceeded their expectations - so thank you Jon and Jane.

Stunning place with amazing views

Fantastic property with amazing views over the harbour and estuary. The house is stunning, very comfortable and situated within easy walking distance of local shops, restaurants and pubs. No entertainment needed as you can spend the whole day just watching the tide going in and out and all the activities not the water. Freeholders is a special place.

Fabulous

We loved the property and its design style and furnishings. It was in a great location and the views were amazing. We enjoyed a day of gales and rain reading overlooking the changing estuary tides out to sea and also an evening on the roof terrace with fish'n'chips and prossecco in the sun with views over the water. What a find.

Short break

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a North Norfolk getaway- you can park the car and not be use it will until you leave due to convenience of shops, pubs, restaurants and walks (to Marshes in one direction and Holkham in the other). Don’t worry about the weather ….it won’t matter when you are here. Hope gho recommend

Even better than photos.

The view is fabulous and this stunning house has been designed to make the most of it. Wether I was cooking, eating, reading, talking, resting, the salt marsh and the boats were right there. Not forgetting the rear view along the pretty Jolly Sailor Yard. Rain or shine didn’t matter, I was able to relax inside and I was still ‘seeing’ Wells-Next-The-Sea. The house itself is a clever blend of technology and clean shiny minimalism with relaxing comfort and bags of sensual character.

Perfect location, stunning views and exceptional hospitality.

We had a fantastic stay at Freeholders. The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes' walk from the center of Wells-next-the-Sea and it also has wonderful countryside walks nearby. The landscape is stunning — the views from the property are simply spectacular and the nearby sandy beach is expansive so you don't feel overcrowded. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy the local dining scene. The house itself is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is even better in person than it looks like in the photos. The hosts were exceptional, providing perfect hospitality and prompt assistance whenever needed. We will definitely be back again!

Fantastic Apartment

We fully agree with every positive thing that was said about Freeholders in other reviews. It more than met our (very high) expectations: being quiet, well equipped, comfortable, within walking distance of everything we needed and with responsive hosts. Plus Wells is wonderful. We are planning to come again in the warmer weather for longer.

Salt marsh views

A relaxing place to stay. The main rooms wisely situated on the 1st floor to maximise the views over the creek and salt marsh. There is a convenient bench at the edge of the property to watch the sunsets. A second car parking space would have been useful. Modern comfortable decor and easy to adjust the temperature in hot weather using the electronic blind system.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Chick

Host profile image
As a child, my mum brother and I would often spend the whole 6-week summer holiday in a tent on the campsite at Wells. We played in the woods and on the beach with an ever-changing cast of children from the campsite. It has always been a very special place for me and I have returned throughout my adult life. There is nowhere in the world I rather spend my holidays.

Why they chose this property

When the opportunity to build a new property arose, we couldn't resist. We wanted to build something unique but that would also fit in and enhance, rather than detract from, the surroundings. Despite many problems, restrictions and set backs we persevered - and we are so thrilled with the end result. The property was completed in March 2020

What makes this property unique

Living accommodation is on the first floor because East End is in a flood zone. This means that the views are truly spectacular. It would be impossible to tire of simply gazing out f the window,
