Carpenters Cottage is a delightful flint cottage of great character, dating from C1850. Situated in a quiet access only lane between the cliff and village (both approx 2 minutes) an ideal retreat for both summer and winter holidays. Perfect for both young and old, the beach below has wide uncrowded sands, ideal for families. There are delightful cliff and woodland walks. The village centre has a general shop, fishmongers, pub, cafe and hotel. Overstrand is the place to relax, unwind, enjoy the peaceful North Norfolk countryside, watch the crab boats and enjoy the local fish. If you need larger facilities these are available in Cromer, 1 mile away. For the more energetic there are stately homes, attractive small towns, salt marshes and Norwich all within easy reach.
