Boasting far-reaching open countryside views from almost every window, this lovingly furnished home-from-home set on the edge of the traditional village of Docking is the ultimate retreat for families and groups of friends looking to uncover the golden seaside, salt marshes and windswept walks the Norfolk coast is famous for.

Featuring plenty of natural sunlight complemented and an earthy colour palette, the endlessly social lounge/kitchen/diner is the perfect setting to get creative with your local produce, enjoy the ultimate family game night seated at the dining table and relax on the plush sofa as you lose yourself in some splendid countryside views. As the evening draws in, escape for a moment’s peace or catch up on a good book in the second cosy lounge. Answer the call of bedtime upstairs where you’ll find three lovingly furnished bedrooms, two king-size and one double, that feature a nautical theme that’ll lull you into a peaceful slumber dreaming of the surrounding seaside. Admire fabulous views of rolling fields by throwing open the bi-fold patio doors to dine alfresco on the patio as four-legged friends sniff around the enclosed lawn.

Docking retains a traditional village feel from its weekly Wednesday market showcasing the area’s best local produce, nestled within touching distance of the North Norfolk coastline; the sandy stretches of Brancaster, Old Hunstanton and Heacham can be reached within 8 miles. Peruse the independent shops and boutiques of the pretty Georgian village of Burnham Market 5.5 miles away or dive into hundreds of years of history by exploring The King's country residence at Sandringham 10 miles away or the spectacular stately homes of Houghton Hall and Holkham Hall, both within 10.5 miles. Snettisham Park Farm (6.5 miles) and Pensthorpe Natural Park (15 miles) offer something for the whole family to enjoy.
