Set in a magnificent position at the foot of the picturesque Cley Windmill and enjoying views of the harbour and Glaven Estuary, this unique couples’ retreat is as romantic as they come. The property’s scenic spot overlooking salt marshes, reed beds and winding waterways at the foot of the iconic Cley Windmill is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The surrounding village of Cley-next-the-Sea is known for its flint cottages, quiet lanes, independent shops and peaceful atmosphere – making it the perfect retreat for keen walkers, birdwatchers and photographers. The beautiful 2-mile stretch of shingle at Cley Beach (1 mile) offers a peaceful spot to skim stones out to sea. Explore the fabulous North Norfolk coastline further, stopping at the sandy beaches of Holkham or Brancaster (both within 19 miles), or hop aboard a scenic boat trip from Blakeney (1.5 miles).
Carefully restored while retaining much of its historic charm, the studio-style living space at the heart of this bolthole blends rustic character with homely elegance. The flagstone flooring is complemented by underfloor heating, offering a warm welcome on chillier days, while period touches and a vaulted oak ceiling add a sense of luxury and space. Oriental rugs, antique-style furniture and soft lighting create a calming space to unwind and flick through the Smart TV after days of Norfolk adventure. The Shaker-style kitchenette features everything required for cooking up holiday feasts, which can be enjoyed at the formal dining table set next to the window. When it’s time to call it a night, retire to the four-poster king-size bed for a restful sleep. A mezzanine level sits above the living space, offering a versatile yet compact reading area which can convert to accommodate two guests on z-bed style beds. Completing the property is a stylish shower room with a WC.
Step out and gather at the outdoor seating for peaceful morning coffees and al fresco evening tipples. This scenic spot invites you to relax to the sounds of nature and enjoy the far-reaching Norfolk views. You’ll also benefit from parking in the public parking area adjacent to the property.
