The Penthouse - Groundwork gallery - Self-catering studio in Norfolk
17 Purfleet Street, King's Lynn, PE30 1ER, Norfolk
England,
Royaume-Uni
Down by the Great Ouse River in historic old King’s Lynn, here is a gem of modern design and sensibility atop a contemporary art gallery, with a grandstand view of the town’s iconic Custom House. The penthouse, a spectacular open-plan space built by its new owners over a formerly derelict 1930s workshop, is super-modern and stylishly clothed in works of art, of course, and natural materials, gorgeous fabrics and clever lighting, all duly attributed to their creators. The bed is a marvel of high-Yorkshire comfort, furniture is by a local wood-worker, bathroom walls are clad in recycled plastic chopping boards. Your light and airy kitchen has black granite tops and charcoal grey units, Dartington glass and sharp knives. Veronica has gone to great eco-friendly lengths, her passions are art and the environment, education and this particular part of East Anglia; she and her husband run Groundwork with huge energy and insight. There’s masses to visit in the town itself, and summer festivals galore. Or launch out for famous gardens, farmers’ markets and the ferry across the Wash for bird-watching and fabulous views.

Veronica Sekules:
- You have the best of all worlds here, right in centre of things near all the shops and restaurants, enjoying one of the town's most spectacular views, yet living in peace and quiet.
- For historic building fans, King's Lynn is second to none. There are no less then 481 of them, grade 1, 11* and 11., including 2 medieval guildhalls, one of which, is Britain's oldest theatre, 2 spectacular marketplaces and 2 grand 15th century churches
- Along the Great Ouse river quay you will find England’s only surviving Hanseatic Warehouse, dating from 1475 - now a popular bar and restaurant. where it is lovely to sit in the evenings.
- A short drive out of town to the North and East takes you to the huge sandy beaches of the Norfolk coast, to its important bird reserves, to local sights of Castle Rising, Houghton, Holkham and Oxburgh Halls and the Royal Sandringham estate.
- You are within 5 minutes of at least 3 great restaurants: Bank House was Town Pub of the Year for 2017; Goldings is a good gastropub and Marriotts Warehouse has good middle eastern inspired food. Prezzo and Pizza Express are within 5 minutes walk too.
- The Penthouse is above GroundWork Gallery, which is dedicated to art and environment, presenting exhibitions of the highest quality. All proceeds help its work.
