This idyllic holiday home is located in the quaint village of Stiffkey, just 3 miles from the sandy beaches of Norfolk’s north coast. The spacious cottage has a variety of social areas, including a gorgeous sunroom and cosy lounge/diner. Sleeping four guests, the cottage is perfect for couples and small families. Wander into Stiffkey’s centre (just 200 metres) to dine in the traditional pub or pick up some local produce for your supper from the charming village store. Pack your buckets and spades and head to the coast for a day at the seaside. The unspoilt sandy beach at Holkham (6.5 miles) is one of the region’s hidden gems, with a vast expanse of golden sand, backed by a majestic shallow lagoon. Spend a lazy afternoon pottering around the picturesque town of Burnham Market (9.5 miles), where you’ll find a fantastic selection of independent shops and eateries.
Tucked away behind a garden gate, you’ll find this idyllic Norfolk cottage. Creepers adorn the walls in the courtyard garden, and vibrant flowers lead you to the property’s front door. Once inside, a warm welcome awaits. The cosy cottage is bursting with character, with exposed beams and brickwork throughout, and a fabulous collection of interesting accessories and artwork. On the ground floor, you’ll find the open-plan lounge/diner, with a striking tiled floor and central wood burner. This is a lovely place to congregate in winter, for cosy nights on the sofa watching the TV/DVD or sharing memorable mealtimes around the dining table. Alternatively, spend time relaxing in the second lounge/sunroom, reading a book under the impressive, pitched glass roof or catching up with your favourite programmes on the TV/DVD. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size and double bedroom, both decorated in neutral tones and featuring pretty soft furnishings. Due to this being a period property, some of the rooms have sloping ceilings, low beams, and restricted head height.
The courtyard garden is a real suntrap and is a fabulous place to sit with a glass of wine, or to fire up the BBQ for a spot of al fresco dining. It’s also a fully-enclosed space, so canine guests can stretch their legs or find a shady spot for a little siesta.
