  • Charming bolthole mixing a traditional countryside aesthetic with contemporary additions
  • Exposed wooden beams and brick fireplace brimming with character
  • Within walking distance of boutiques and bars in gorgeous Georgian Holt

Property code: OC-2176

Explore the Georgian charm and character of Holt town centre, less than 0.5 miles away, with ample eclectic independent shops, boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. Further afield, meander through the extensive ruins of Baconsthorpe Castle (3.5 miles), a tranquil 15th-century manor house steeped in history and the perfect spot for a romantic picnic. Get back to nature at the wild woodland of Holt Country Park (less than 1 mile away), with 100 acres of oak, pine and silver birch trees, and there are plenty of places for a perfect photo or a quick a pitstop.

Through the farmhouse-style front door, you’re welcomed into a traditional country-style kitchen, well-equipped with modern appliances including a free-standing electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with handy ice box and slimline dishwasher. The Nespresso coffee machine is also a welcome treat. The stunning wooden ceiling beams above carry through to the open-plan living/dining area, where a striking red brick original fireplace with a wood burner-effect electric fire accentuates the cosy, warm feel. Make the most of this cosy feel after sunny days out or on calm nights in with the large statement sofa and Smart TV. An intimate dining table and chairs for two at the rear of the space is a little pocket of calm. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom has exposed brick features alongside built-in wardrobes and a grand iron bedstead. A contemporary bathroom with a glass shower cubicle and WC completes this romantic bolthole.

Although there is no private garden, there is access to a peaceful memorial garden opposite the cottage for a moonlit stroll or daytime picnic.

Really nice little cottage, ideal as a base to discover Holt and further afield. However stairs are a little steep and can be difficult for older persons. Also there is space for a car to be parked outside, but this is somewhat of a lottery as a number of others do not have on street parking.

This was a beautiful, cosy, tastefully decorated historic cottage, in a perfect location. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and were particularly touched by the gift bag of local products that greeted us on our arrival. A perfect place to spend Christmas in Norfolk.
