About this property
Old Smithy is a beautifully presented brick & chalk barn, set in a small development in the small coastal village of Titchwell, renowned for its amazing birdlife and beautiful beach.
Old Smithy is a beautifully presented attractive brick & chalk barn, set in a small development in the small coastal village of Titchwell, renowned for its amazing birdlife and beautiful beach.
This traditional barn has been converted into smart and stylish living accommodation, but its character remains with evidence of the fabric of the building, in the form of exposed chalk walls, vaulted ceilings and beams reminding you of its origin. Old Smithy is a most comfortable and spacious place to stay and will suit families, friends and couples who are looking for a short or longer stay in a rather lovely holiday hideaway in a convenient and peaceful location midway between Brancaster and Thornham.
On the ground floor there is a stunning sitting room, double height to one end and bi-fold doors to the other, with so much comfortable seating you really are spoilt for choice. The doors open into the south facing, enclosed courtyard garden enabling you to bring the outside in if you wish. The well-equipped kitchen opens into the dining hall, just the place for a sociable get together, be it easy relaxed dining or a more formal affair. A handy cloakroom, with ample space for boots and coats, and utility complete the downstairs. Upstairs there are four inviting bedrooms, with super comfy beds, and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Outside, as well as the enclosed courtyard, there is an open communal grassed area at the rear of the barn, where Old Smithy has its own lawned area with bench seating.
Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or total novice, the rspb nature reserve just across the coast road is well worth a visit. Titchwell is well-served with two fabulous places to eat. Titchwell Manor and Briarfields are a short walk away, and offer both fine and casual dining. The Coasthopper bus service runs from the bottom of the drive, and will take the strain and transport you to all the other coastal villages from Kings Lynn to Cromer. North West Norfolk has the most wonderful sandy beaches as well as some grand houses to visit, such as Sandringham House and Houghton Hall.

An ideal location and property. Great beaches at Brancaster and Holkham (but watch out for the long walk from Lady Anne's Drive). Best beach however is on your doorstep at RSPB Titchwell - well worth the £7 entry and you'll also be supporting a worthy cause.

The Old Smithy is ideally situated for long beach walks, cosy pub lunchâs and exploring the Norfolk coast. The property is tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. The kitchen cupboards have a good supply of plates/ glasses /mugs and utensils making catering easy. We never used the courtyard as it was freezing, it would be a lovely space for breakfast and somewhere to sit and read in the summer.
