Set in the peaceful village of Docking, this characterful brick-and-flint cottage offers an ideal retreat for couples and small families. Bursting with original features, this cosy and welcoming property invites you to enjoy village life while offering easy access to the beaches, landscapes and wildlife of the North Norfolk National Landscape.
Arranged over two storeys, this 200-year-old cottage exudes a warm, traditional charm with exposed beams, tiled floors, ornamental brick fireplaces, and cute, country-cottage-style decor. The lounge invites relaxation after a day exploring with plush sofas, a roaring wood burner and an array of entertainment options, from Sky TV to board games. When tummies rumble, rustle up home-cooked delights in the country-style kitchen before gathering around the bench-style table in the adjoining dining room. Heading up the steep cottage style staircase, two king-size bedrooms are presented in soft pastel tones and fine linens; one room has zip-and-link beds allowing it to be made up as a twin to suit your group. The spacious landing features a chair, providing a charming reading nook, while a family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, an enclosed courtyard garden offers a quiet spot for morning coffee, and a sunny bench at the front provides a perfect spot to watch village life drift by. On-street parking is available next to the cottage.
With its central location on the North Norfolk coast, Docking is a popular base for those seeking peaceful, rural surroundings close to the sea. Beach lovers are spoilt for choice from the seaside towns of Heacham and Hunstanton to the wild beach at Brancaster (all within 8.5 miles). The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path offer stunning long-distance walks, while nature reserves such as RSPB Titchwell (6 miles) and Blakeney Point (18.5 miles) are home to an array of wading birds and common and grey seals.
