Part of a building that was formerly a Victorian school, this house has been revived into a quaint country hideaway. With exposed wooden beams and traditional brick-walled fireplaces, the quiet rustic roots of this building are delightfully embraced. There is a spacious kitchen that has plenty of modern comforts, adjacent to a beautifully country-styled timber dining area ideal for big gatherings. In the lush garden, there is a delightful alfresco dining area on the terrace – perfect for those summer afternoons. And there’s plenty of room for kids to run around on the lawn. The house is within walking distance to village shops and pubs, and the Norfolk Coast is a six-minute drive away. You’ll be able to explore the rich history of the area including the nearby landmark 14th-century church, the iconic windmill and the quaint modern shops tucked into ancient stone-walled buildings of Cley next the Sea.
