Property code: OC-2076

This three-bedroom cottage dripping with character features provides easy access to a Royal residence and within reach of stunning beaches. A popular village bordering the Royal Estate of Sandringham, Dersingham is surrounded by woodland walks and beautiful countryside with the village (1 mile away) boasting boutique shops, award-winning butchers, and a garden centre with an adjacent tea shop. Explore Sandringham House that’s also just 1 mile away, where the ground floor rooms are regularly used by the Royal Family and remain much as they were in Edwardian times. Or explore the Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton, a 10-mile trip, and enjoy the striped cliffs the area is known for, as well as the Esplanade Gardens and crazy golf.

A cute cottage porchway welcomes you into a spacious but cosy living room, decorated in a neutral palette, that features a stunning wood burner inside an exposed brick fireplace. Up a stone step, you’ll find a snug that can be used as a playroom, or a third bedroom as it houses a full-size single daybed. The room also benefits from an en-suite cloakroom with WC. Back through the cottage, you’re met with the kitchen/dinner, featuring rustic original pamment floor and a large dresser for that country farmhouse atmosphere. French patio doors flood the area with natural light and a sweet dining table for four is tucked in a cosy spot for intimate dining with family or friends. The upstairs features two double bedrooms, tastefully decorated with natural tones, with the master benefiting from plenty of storage space with built-in wardrobes. A modern family bathroom can also be found on this level with a shower over the bath and WC.

You’ll be spoilt for choice with two fantastic outside spaces. The front garden features an AstroTurf aside a patio spot and a relaxing water feature. Leading off the front of the kitchen, a rear decked area shaded by mature greenery is the perfect spot for stargazing when night falls.

A lovely, pretty, quiet cottage with lots of good features. Homely warm and comfy. The area is pretty and quiet but near shops etc. We found we did not have to travel far to get to nice villages etc. Sandringham is close by and is a lovely place to go and we loved the name of one road we went on, Donkey Pond Hill, brilliant. Petals tearoom andRead more gift shop just down the road is excellent. They are dog friendly and give treats and take photos of them and put on a slide show on display. Local homemade things for sale. Excellent food and drinks well worth a visit or two. Best pub Three Horseshoe in Roydon, lovely food, very good value and friendly helpful staff, went 3 times. A really great holiday and relaxing. Hide

Lovely cute cottage in an excellent location for exploring the stunning Norfolk coast. Cottage was well equipped and beautifully dressed. Pretty enclosed gardens for our 2 lil furballs too. Super close to Sandringham and perfectly placed for trips to Hunstanton, Wells and more. Would highly recommend.
