About this property
Experience the exquisite character of this delightful cottage in Helhoughton, which nestles right at the heart of Norfolk. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat, 4.5 miles from Fakenham, has an abundance of original character, from timber beams to exposed brick and flintwork. It has an exceptionally large, lawned garden where you can unwind out in the sunshine and any four-legged members of your party can stroll about freely. It is also ideal for long country walks and days out to the coast.
Return from your excursions to unwind in the lounge together, in front of a roaring wood burner in the inglenook fireplace, perhaps, and a film on the Smart TV. Stroll through to the kitchen/diner to rustle up delicious dinners with the produce you have sourced from local farm shops and markets. Serve up at the table in here or through in the conservatory and sit around chatting afterwards long into your holiday evenings. Play games or even pick out a tune on the keyboard through in the conservatory before bed. When you are ready to lay your head on your pillow, climb the staircase up from the lounge to a double bedroom on the first floor or a twin up on the second floor. There is a family shower room downstairs at the cottage. Dine outside in the beautiful garden as often as possible and play games with the children on the grass.
Have a day out to Wells-next-the-Sea, 13.5 miles away, with its impressive beach that stretches for miles out to sea when the tide is out. Brancaster Beach, 15.5 miles away, with its sand dunes, is also a beautiful place to swim. Visit Houghton Hall and Gardens, 6 miles away, or go a little further, 12.5 miles from the cottage, to wander through the parkland at Sandringham.

Charming old cottage in a beautiful setting, located centrally for exploring the area. We found a lovely circular walk for the dogs from the door. Everything you could possibly need was supplied, an eclectic mix of very old and new. The bathroom and toilet has been renovated, the bed linen and towels excellent. It would benefit from a spring clean both inside and out to make it a lovely holiday cottage.
