Property code: OC-1950

Relax on the balcony at this beautiful Sheringham home, where fishing boats were once built, and look out towards the sea. Sleeping six guests, the two-bedroom hideaway, which offers dog-friendly accommodation, has been creatively converted to provide reverse-level, barn-style accommodation. Just over 50 metres from Sheringham’s award-winning beach, the property is also in an ideal location for anyone seeking to be close to shops and eateries. It makes a perfect base for those wishing to walk the Norfolk Coast Path or explore the wider North Norfolk area.

Make your way in at ground-floor level to discover this is where your beamed bedrooms are located. Here you will find a bunk bedroom, a double room and the family bathroom. Wander up to the first floor to emerge in a splendid, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with an impressive, vaulted and beamed ceiling, and glass doors on to the balcony. Prepare meals in here on those occasions you choose not to dine out; gather round the table together and lounge on the soft seating in front of the TV or DVD player. Listen to music as you unwind on the balcony with a glass of wine as the sun sets. There is no garden with this property but the beach is close by and there is parking for two cars.

Explore the charming streets of Sheringham, visit the museum and take a steam train along the heritage Poppy Line to Holt. Head 4 miles into Cromer to find even more shops and eateries and to spend time on the pier, with its theatre that stages summer and Christmas shows. Head 2 miles to stroll through Sheringham Park, exquisitely landscaped by renowned designer Humphry Repton and now managed by the National Trust, or 9 miles to Blakeney to take a trip out to see the seals.

What a great place to relax on holiday with the kids! You can literally see the sea from the lounge. Less than a minute to the shops and beach but tucked away and peaceful. The washing machine and clothes airer were a godsend for a family holiday , no piles of washing to come home to! Loads to do locally, friendly place. Would recommend to anyone.
