Overview
Property code: OC-F27765

This characterful brick and flint cottage is in the village of Upper Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast. The property is perfect for large families and groups of friends, with two lounges and a spacious kitchen/diner for entertaining. You’ll find a myriad of countryside walks from your front door, including through the grounds of the National Trust’s Sheringham Park. The popular seaside town of Sheringham is 1.5 miles away, and you’ll also be just 5.5 miles from Cromer.

The stylish property cleverly combines original features with contemporary design, and has been beautifully decorated and furnished to create a truly memorable setting for your holiday. The hub of the home is a bright and airy kitchen/diner, with all the equipment needed to cater for a large group and a choice of seating areas at a sleek breakfast bar or wooden dining table. A gorgeous lounge with a roaring open fire is the ideal place to relax in the evenings, stretched out on the velvet sofas to watch the Smart TV. Alternatively, snuggle up with a book in the second lounge, toasting your toes next to the wood burner. The three bedrooms are upstairs, one of which is a versatile family room. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and there’s also a family shower room on this floor. The enclosed garden is a real haven of tranquillity, with a lawn where children can play and a raised decked area for al fresco dining.

Sheringham is a traditional seaside town with a sand and pebble beach, long promenade, and a row of colourful beach huts. After spending the morning on the beach, head into the town to dine in one of the many pubs, cafes, and tea rooms lining its bustling streets, or perhaps pick up a tasty treat from one of the outdoor markets. From Sheringham, a heritage steam train chugs through the countryside to Holt, where you’ll find further shops and eateries. From the cottage, it’s easy to enjoy day trips to see the seals at Blakeney Point (8.5 miles), watch the variety show at the end of Cromer Pier (5.5 miles), or soak up the history at Felbrigg Hall (4.5 miles).

This holiday cottage is beautiful! The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully furnished. The beds were extremely comfortable and offered a great night sleep. The location was lovely although surprisingly busy with the traffic coming through. This did not spoil our holiday in the slightest. The kitchen was well equipped although we did have to babysit Read morethe washing machine during our stay as it was loud and trying to vibrate out of its cupboard. If left it would surely do some damage. The house is right next to Sheringham country park which was fantastic to visit with the dog and children. Also the Dales hotel was within walking distance which had beautiful grounds and lovely food. The house was a good base for trips to Sheringham and Cromer and we even travelled further along the coast line to visit many other beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Thank you. Hide

This cottage is in a lovely, picturesque location a mile from the sea and with numerous walking and cycling routes in Sheringham Park on the doorstep and at Felbrigg Hall Estate nearby. It is beautifully appointed with many luxurious touches in its large rooms. Very comfy beds and sofas!

A well-situated cottage on the edge of Sheringham Park which was ideal for our energetic cockerpoo! The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The heating system worked fine and the TV was also easy enough to manage.

Such a fantastic house, it really cant be faulted. Parking was easy which we didn't expect and got a space outside of the house nearly every time. We really loved the local walks and bird watching in the area - highly recommend Cley and Salthouse over the marshes. Holt is also another place worth a visit.
