2 Bedroom House in Briston

Two flexible bedrooms and a true home-from-home feel make this bungalow in the village of Briston, a fabulous base for a break with friends or family. Located in a lovely North Norfolk village within easy reach of the coast, this cottage welcomes pets and has a cosy, crackling wood burner.

Step inside the single-level, characterful cottage. Off the hallway, you’ll find the inviting lounge with a striking fireplace and a choice of comfortable sofas. This room sets the scene for laid-back evenings with a box set – the TV comes with an Amazon Firestick so you can select your favourites. At the end of the hallway, the dining room has a feature fireplace and doors onto the courtyard, while the adjacent kitchen has a range-style cooker to inspire your culinary efforts. When it’s time to retire, the two pretty bedrooms are carpeted and decorated in calming tones; one has a double bed and the other has twin zip-and-link beds (which can be made up as a super-king-size bed on request at time of booking). A family bathroom completes the convenience for all. Outside, a small courtyard at the rear of the property contrasts with the larger, lawned garden at the front which has mature planting and is enclosed with a post-and-rail fence. Sheltered from the road, it’s edged by a gated, gravelled driveway with space to park up to three cars.

Immerse yourself in village life or drive 4 miles to the elegant Georgian town of Holt for a fine choice of cafes, bistros, boutiques and galleries. Ride the North Norfolk Railway from here to the popular Victorian resort of Sheringham (10.5 miles) for some old-fashioned seaside fun. For a contrasting coastal experience, Blakeney’s atmospheric quay and tidal creek are 9 miles away – no visit would be complete without taking a boat trip to see the seals at Blakeney Point.
