Winston Hall Farmhouse

About this property

Winston Hall Farmhouse is a truly quintessential English country retreat, offering space, charm, and a wonderfully sociable setting for unforgettable holidays and celebrations. Set within generous grounds on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, this prestigious farmhouse enjoys an enviable location close to the riverside town of Beccles, making it ideal for both peaceful escapes and days out exploring the region. From the moment you arrive, ample parking and sweeping surroundings create an immediate sense of calm and anticipation. Step inside and you’ll discover a home full of warmth and character. The well-equipped farmhouse kitchen is the heart of the house – perfect for lingering breakfasts, lively group meals, or celebratory dinners shared around the table.

After a day of adventure, retreat to the inviting sitting room, where a wood-burning stove sets the scene for cosy evenings, laughter, and relaxed conversation. With multiple bedrooms spread across the ground floor, first floor, and attic spaces, the farmhouse offers flexible sleeping arrangements to suit large families or groups of friends. Several shower rooms ensure easy, stress-free mornings – even when the house is full. Outside, the garden is a delightful extension of the living space. Whether you’re enjoying alfresco dining, sipping morning coffee in the fresh country air, or letting children roam and play, it’s a setting designed for making memories.

The location is equally compelling. Nearby Beccles enchants with its riverside walks, independent shops, and relaxed market-town atmosphere. A little further afield, Southwold beckons with sandy beaches, a classic pier, and its iconic colourful beach huts. For culture and city life, Norwich offers a magnificent cathedral, vibrant shopping streets, and excellent riverside dining. Nature lovers will be drawn to the waterways and wildlife of the Norfolk Broads, perfect for boating adventures and peaceful days on the water. Whether you’re planning a special celebration, a multi-generation family holiday, or a memorable getaway with friends, Winston Hall Farmhouse delivers space, comfort, and an unbeatable base for discovering the very best of Norfolk and Suffolk.

Additional on-site accommodation is also available – please see The Gun Room and Winston Lodge – ideal for extending your group while still staying together.

The historic market town of Beccles has excellent amenities, with unique shops, many of which are independent retailers and the range of restaurants and dining facilities are impressive, with numerous cafes, tea rooms and traditional inns. There are also a number of interesting buildings, including the Town Hall and Quaker Hall, which houses the weekly country farmers' market. The more active visitor may wish to explore the town and surrounding area via the Beccles Marsh Trail, which is divided into three walks of varying distance and character. With an outdoor swimming pool and various play areas, children are well catered for, whilst cyclists can enjoy a number of cycle routes around the town. Beccles is surrounded by open countryside, whilst an easy drive brings you to the popular Suffolk coast and the seaside resorts of Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Southwold.
