Perfectly placed on the edge of the village, this beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage is steeped in history, lovingly renovated from an old post office to create a charming retreat just a mile from the North Norfolk coastline. Heacham is a delightful village boasting some stunning beaches. North Beach (1.5 miles) and South Beach (less than 2 miles) offer calm waters ideal for paddling and adventurous water sports such as kayaking, kite and windsurfing; an afternoon’s tuition and lessons are available to be booked locally. Take a gentle stroll along the promenade that stretches along the shoreline to the neighbouring Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton, less than 2 miles away, and visit the local Sea Life Centre before enjoying the quintessentially seaside funfair. The area is a natural haven for bird watchers with two RSPB reserves close by at Snettisham and Titchwell with a variety of coastal paths to explore, 5 miles and 8 miles respectively.
The cottage welcomes you straight into the cosy yet spacious lounge, with a Smart TV and plenty of comfy seating wrapped around an exposed brick chimney breast that houses a beautiful wood burner. Following the original floorboards around the space, you’re met with a dining area complete with a compact wooden dining set, flooded by natural light from the large cottage window. The well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen boasts another dining table and everything you may need to cater. The rear of the cottage opens out onto a gorgeous light-filled conservatory with views over the garden. You’ll also find a contemporary family bathroom on this level. Upstairs, comprises one king-size bedroom boasting a grand four-poster bed, and a second bedroom with a set of bunk beds.
The conservatory opens out onto a delightful courtyard, perfectly enclosed by a high stone wall adorned with climbing ivy – the ideal spot to catch the last of the day’s sun whilst dining alfresco.
