Immerse yourself in tranquil surroundings when staying in this idyllic Norfolk cottage. A real romantic retreat for two, this pleasantly appointed cottage offers a wonderful base for spending quality time together and plotting rewarding adventures in the coastal AONB that surrounds the property. Discover the pristine Overstrand Beach just 2 miles away and Cromer's ever-popular seaside holiday spot a little further (3.5 miles). Whether you’re hoping to fill your days with coastal walking routes, countryside cycling or trips to grand Norfolk houses and estates nearby, this lovely little cottage will always eagerly await your return at the end of each day.

Filled to the brim with country cottage charm, the property features handsome high ceilings, exposed brickwork and original beams throughout. Step into the cheerful living space where the lounge meets the kitchen/diner, a fantastic area to relax in at mealtimes and beyond. Along the hallway, you’ll find the bathroom with a skylight that lets light flood in and a double bedroom with the unique addition of a wet room-style shower for those who may need it. Step outside via patio doors in the lounge to be greeted by ample outdoor space. Shared with the neighbouring property, this delectable area is set to lawn and boasts a pretty pond – simply a wonderful location for taking morning coffee.

As well as Overstrand and Cromer, the property is just a short distance from the seaside destinations of Mundesley (4 miles) and Sheringham (8 miles), each accessible via a rewarding coastal walk or an easy trip in the car. Lovers of flora and fauna can discover the National Trust-maintained Felbrigg Hall with its estate and gardens just 5 miles away or take a trip to the charming 32-acre East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden 11.5 miles away.
