This striking property is set over an archway and once served as the entrance to Heacham Hall. A unique getaway for a solo traveller or a couple, the first floor apartment reached by a flight of stairs is located in the centre of Heacham, famous for being at the heart of Norfolk’s lavender-growing industry. The village’s North and South beaches are in easy reach (1.5 miles), one rugged and empty, the other ideal for a stroll on the prom and an ice cream. The Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton (aka ‘sunny Hunny’) is just 3 miles away via the coastal path. Here you’ll find a golf course as well as another stunning beach and plenty of traditional seaside attractions. For a wealth of wildlife, visit RSPB Titchwell and Snettisham, both within 7 miles. An array of pretty villages are nearby, including Brancaster (famous for its seafood), 8.5 miles, and Burnham Market (great for boutique shopping), 11 miles.

There’s plenty of history to admire within this Grade II-listed, 18th century property, cleverly combined with modern touches and eclectic art and decor. Head straight up the cottage-style stairs to the first floor, where you’ll first see the shower room with its sloping, beamed ceiling. Turn left and you’ll be welcomed into the open-plan lounge/diner, in which dramatic wooden beams criss-cross the high, sloped ceiling. Here you’ll find a sofa, a Smart TV and some eye-catching artwork, as well as a woodburner. The breakfast bar-style table with stools is set against a window that looks out over the village green. The stylish kitchen, another room with sloping ceilings, is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to cook up a storm using local delicacies found on your travels, including a compact ceramic sink and a small, retro-style fridge/freezer. Completing the interior of this gorgeous holiday destination is a double bedroom, with a brick floor and dramatic metal-framed bed.

Just outside your front door, to the back of the archway, is a small area which has a bistro dining table for your use – a great spot for a morning coffee in the fresh air. There’s also an lockable storage unit under the archway in which you can store your bikes, and off-road parking for one car.

We really loved Archway cottage, very tastefully decorated and furnished, with clever use of the space and a really light airy feel about it. Well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, and ideal location for exploring the Norfolk coastline, with essential services in easy walking distance in the village. Owner was very friendly and communicated Read moreefficiently everything we needed to know in advance. Hide
