The period cottage enjoys a peaceful location within a conservation area in the charming village of Docking. Sleeping six guests, the property makes a great base for both families and groups of friends. From the cottage, it’s easy to reach many of Norfolk’s finest beaches, including Brancaster and Hunstanton (both within 8 miles). Nearby points of interest include the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk Lavender, and Castle Rising (all within 12 miles). The 18th-century cottage is warm and inviting, with characterful exposed beams and brickwork sitting alongside plush soft furnishings and homely touches. After a day of adventure, watch the Smart TV in the lounge (accessed via a step), where a roaring wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere and statement cushions add a pop of colour. The country-style kitchen/diner has everything needed to cater for the group, and there’s a gorgeous wooden dining table to gather around for memorable mealtimes. All three bedrooms are decorated in a unique style, combining original features with quirky decor; there is a king-size bedroom on the ground floor, and the remaining bedrooms are upstairs (accessed via steep, cottage-style stairs). The stylish family shower room is on the ground floor. On a summer’s evening, dine outside in the enclosed patio garden. The picturesque village of Burnham Market is 5.5 miles away, and is the perfect spot for an afternoon of retail therapy. The village boasts over 30 independent shops, as well as cute coffee shops for a well-earned pit stop. You’ll be within easy reach of both the north and west coast of Norfolk, giving you a fantastic choice of beaches. For remote, sunset strolls head to Snettisham (6 miles) or Heacham South (7 miles), or for a more traditional day at the seaside journey to the resorts of Hunstanton (8 miles) or Wells-next-the-Sea (12 miles).
