The cottage has been carefully restored to the highest standard offering modern facilities whilst retaining all the old charm.
There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor beneath “Travertina” tiled floors. The lines are clean and uncluttered but retaining the original character of the cottage with beamed ceilings and strip pine doors. The cottage is light and airy capturing sunshine most of the day.
The kitchen is fully fitted with single drainer ceramic 1.5 bowl sink, dishwasher, electric cooker, microwave, fridgefreezer, reclaimed pine dining table to seat six and antique dresser. An abundance of utensils and crockery for those who enjoy cooking or entertaining to a high standard.
To the rear of the cottage is the old “wash-house” which now houses a washing machine, clothes dryer, belfast sink and separate WC.
The cosy sitting room has an easy to manage log-burning stove with double doors that can be opened to expose the burning logs, large sofa, chair, television, DVD player, and a selection of DVD’s.
The bathroom on the ground floor has WC, wash basin, panelled bath with electric shower, heated towel rail, hair dryer.
From the kitchen a pine staircase leads to a small study. A variety of books for lazy days. There is a phone for in-coming calls only and a free wireless internet connection.
Leading from the study is the main bedroom with king size bed and ample storage, nestling under the sloping eaves and old beams.
The small cottage garden at the front of the property captures the sun all day and across the track, is a private garden for entertaining the extended family or friends who may care to visit. Currently, there is a wooden table and chairs for two, umbrella and BBQ in or near the garden shed. Also in the old wash-house is a further cafe table and two chairs for use in the cottage garden and additional folding chairs for visitors. There is parking for two cars at the side of the main garden.
Although the cottage is located in Saxthorpe, close to the village church, it actually lies on the parish boundary with Corpusty. Just a few minutes walk from Corpusty village, along the pathway bordering the old mill, where there is an “open all hours” village store and local public house serving food.
The cottage is ideally located in the heart of the Norfolk Countryside but only a short distance from the North Norfolk coastline. In particular, the creeks of Blakeney Point offer canoeing in the summer and from the next village seal trips. Stiffkey a little further along the coastline offers samphire picking May to July. There are many coastal walks and the area is a favourite haunt for twitchers, especially on the Holkham Estate some 30 minutes away.
For those wishing to experience culture, history or even shopping, the Cathedral City of Norwich is 30 minutes drive away and Blickling Hall, once the home of Anne Boleyn, is close by.
Not suitable for young children but young babies welcome, facilities not provided. NO PETS. NON SMOKING.
Bedding, towels and linen provided. Also free underfloor heating, logs for the log burning stove and free wireless internet. There is a telephone for incoming calls.
