Welcome to Waxham: Norfolk's Hidden Gem
When you think of your perfect Norfolk seaside holiday, what comes to mind? If it’s an idyllic and remote beach house situated next to one of Norfolk’s best beaches, then Shangri-la House, in the remote village of Waxham, should be on the top of your list for your next Norfolk staycation.
Explore the Unspoiled Beauty of Waxham
Waxham is a remote and unspoiled village about 30 minutes north east of Norwich (two and half hours from London). The landscape is where the Norfolk Broads coincide with some of the most magnificent beaches: miles of sandy beaches backed by wild and grass covered dunes. The most notable building is only few minutes walk from Shangri-la House, Waxham Great Barn, the longest ancient barn in Norfolk at 56 m. It was built in the late 16th century by the Woodhouse family. The barn sits within a wider and fascinating historical context of Waxham Hall and the church of St. John.
Shangri-La House: A Unique Eco-Friendly Beach Retreat in Norfolk
Shangri-la House is a unique and modern Norfolk beach house nestled between a series of Grade 1 buildings and arguably Norfolk’s best beach, Waxham beach (as described in the Telegraph). The house itself was designed by Mole Architects and features stunning interiors with light filled rooms. What’s more, you can be assured your stay at Shangri-la House, is eco-friendly: the building was constructed to the demanding PassivHaus standard. If all of that wasn’t enough, we are dog friendly with a large and secure dog enclosure. Planning a Norfolk break with your dog? Start here.
Waxham Beach: A Secluded Coastal Paradise
Waxham has the beach of your dreams. The isolated location, with no formal parking, means that the beach is rarely busy, even in the summer. Outside of the summer it is not unusual to have the beach to yourself. Walk in one direction for a short while and you arrive at the Blue Flag beach of Sea Palling. Walk in the other direction and for large parts of the year you will see the famous Horsey seals, many hundreds of which can be found at Horsey Gap beach beach, within a few kilometers of Waxham.
Your Perfect Setting for Every Occasion
Whether you are planning a family break, a meet up with friends or just two of you, Shangri-la House is the perfect setting.
