Tucked away in a quiet loke in the Georgian town of Holt, this brick and flint cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk’s countryside and coastline. Contemporary furnishings take on an elegant twist in the living room with plump striped sofas and a wood burner inviting you to put your feet up with a good book or a board game. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are country chic with their wood-framed beds and clean, pared-back minimalism, while the bathroom’s clawfoot tub and rainfall shower provide the perfect bookends to any day. With a lovely front courtyard in which to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or celebratory sundowner, you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly peaceful getaway. Outside of your home, the town’s boutiques, antique galleries and pubs wait to be sampled right on your doorstep, while those looking to sink their toes in the sand can make a beeline for Sheringham Beach, a fourteen-minute walk away. Holt’s North Norfolk Steam Railway is also just under a thirty-minute walk away (or four minutes by car) and the medieval city of Norwich is a forty-minute drive from your door.
