This attractive and timeless end-of-terrace cottage which dates back to the 17th century in a historic rural village, is ideal for a couple or small family seeking a quiet getaway. Castle Acre is a civil parish in Norfolk with two English Heritage sites which date back to the 11th century (both less than 0.5 miles). Additionally, the village offers a fish and chip shop, pub, convenience store, and cafe (less than 0.5 miles). If you fancy a trip to the seaside, the North Norfolk coast isn’t too far – the wide expanse of sandy Brancaster Beach is 21 miles away.
As you enter this homely cottage, you’ll immediately be charmed by the characterful interiors and relaxing atmosphere. Inside the living room, your eyes will be drawn to the exposed brick chimney breast surrounding the warming wood burner, and the wooden beamed ceiling above you. Relax on the comfortable sofa or armchairs which sit amongst contemporary features and a Smart TV, illuminated by the glow of the flickering fire. Continue into the kitchen where you’ll find bespoke handmade units underneath a wooden beamed ceiling. The streams of natural light that flood this space make cooking special home-cooked meals a delightful experience. The final room on the ground floor is the garden room, which has a misted glass ceiling and a glass front which looks out onto the thriving cottage garden. In addition to the sofa, Smart TV and contemporary lighting, there’s also a dining table and chairs. Climb the steep cottage-style staircase to reach the first floor of the property. Here, you’ll find two bedrooms and a tranquil bathroom which boasts a luxurious, free-standing slipper bath as well as a rainfall shower – leaving it to you to decide whether you want a relaxing soak or a quick rinse. Make yourself at home in the master bedroom, where you can enjoy a great night’s sleep on the king-size bed and wake up and sip your morning coffee as you watch breakfast TV. There’s also a convenient utility cupboard in this room with a washer/dryer. The second bedroom is a romantic attic room, with an exposed stone wall, cathedral-style wooden-beamed ceiling and a king-size bed.
Step outside and walk down the shingle path between walls of shrubbery, blooming flowers and bushes. At the end of the path is a delightful, sheltered, paved area with comfortable and stylish outdoor chairs. This peaceful space is ideal for lighting the Weber BBQ and dining alfresco with your guests.
