Stylish decor cleverly combines high-quality modern furnishings with gorgeous period features - this chic cottage is an impressive holiday home perfect for couples and small families, and welcoming dogs, too. It’s located in the centre of the popular town of Wells-next-the-Sea, with the beach, shops and places to eat all on your doorstep.
Set over three storeys, this Grade II-listed cottage has an open-plan living space that includes a dining table for four plus a cosy lounge area boasting a Smart TV and a wood burner. This is just the spot in which to curl up with a good book or a favourite movie after a day spent on the beach or exploring the area. The compact kitchen has everything you’ll need for preparing tasty meals, and there’s an outbuilding with a washing machine and additional storage space. Take the steep and winding stairs to the first floor, where you’ll find a king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Then it’s up another flight of cottage-style stairs to the second floor, where there’s a further king-size bedroom, with sweet sloping ceilings and more old beams, plus a shower room. Head into the rear courtyard, a sunny spot in which to enjoy a fresh breakfast from the local deli, a sundowner or an alfresco meal while enjoying the fresh sea air.
In the pretty lanes of Wells there are plenty of pubs and restaurants to savour, as well as delicatessens, butchers, fishmonger and boutique shops. Hop aboard the narrow-gauge steam railway to the abbey village of Walsingham, or head to Holkham, 2.5 miles, with its stately home, parkland and beach. Other delights nearby include Burnham Market and its sister villages, Brancaster, Blakeney, Cley-next-the-Sea and the Georgian town of Holt, all reachable within 13 miles.
