Historic cottage set amongst a tree-lined country road of Holme-next-the-Sea, the perfect base for any extended family hoping to enjoy some long-awaited quality time together in the Norfolk countryside. Holme itself is a nature-lovers paradise, surrounded by fascinating landscapes in which flora and fauna thrive. Explore the RSPB spot of Titchwell Marsh (3 miles) to spot bearded tits or marsh harriers, or flock to Old Hunstanton Beach (2.5 miles) for the chance to view seals in the wild. Set off with walking boots in tow to discover the nearby Scolt Head Island Nature Reserve (7.5 miles) and admire the pretty beaches and seascapes along the way. You may also appreciate an afternoon at nearby Holkham Hall (13 miles) or the chance to view the historic ruins of Creake Abbey (11.5 miles).
Whilst low ceilings, stone-flagged flooring and authentic wooden beams make up the charm and character of this original cottage, it’s clear to see that every effort has been made to modernise the place too. Those with pets in tow should enter the property at the rear and into the inner hall, a spot with direct access to the utility room with a washer/dryer for throwing muddy towels in, and a handy WC. Once sandy paws have been taken care of, step into the cosy lounge. This room has been laid out with a wood burner at its centre and Smart TV/DVD in way of entertainment – choose from a selection of seating and put your feet up for the night. For the group's designated chef, a farmhouse-style kitchen awaits just next door. Challenge yourself to cook on the electric range, making use of the fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher as well. A simple archway offers direct access into the dining room where up to eight guests can sit down together. Here, you’ll also find a Bluetooth radio for filling the space with everyone’s favourite sounds. Venture upstairs to find the property’s sleeping options. Each room features antique-style furnishings and a pop of colour on the walls. The master bedroom is made up as a king-size with an en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower and WC. There’s also a family bathroom with a bath, separate shower and WC on this floor. Two further bedrooms, a cosy twin and an additional single bedroom, add to the bedtime offering of the main house.
Step outside and into the garden to discover an abundance of lawn space and the all-important garden annexe. Separate from the main house, this annexe affords two guests a sense of privacy and peace that often comes in handy during a multigenerational family stay. On the ground floor, you’ll find a handy shower room with WC, whilst upstairs a twin bedroom with a low, sloping ceiling is equipped with an iPod dock. Outside, you can appreciate summer nights in this enclosed lawn space, complete with furniture and BBQ.
