Great Yarmouth has been enticing holidaying Brits with its seaside charms since the 1700s. Housed in an Edwardian building overlooking the River Yare, this one-bedroom penthouse apartment is here to show you exactly why. Step inside, and despite the largely modern interior, there's still plenty of period charm on show. Take a seat on the blue velvet sofa beneath the exposed beam ceilings, gaze out at the river through the elegant sash windows, or take a seat on the ledge behind the stunning wrought-iron railings. Thanks to its many windows, the open-plan living room/kitchen is well illuminated, with a minimalist modern kitchen on hand for any budding chefs. A trip to Great Yarmouth is a trip back in time to the heyday of the British seaside resort. In addition to the requisite stretch of sandy beach, there's a Pleasure Beach for that nostalgic fairground atmosphere, the Hippodrome Circus for retro seaside shows, and the Elizabethan House Museum filled with centuries-old furniture, clothing and even armour. Slightly further afield, explore the beauty of the Norfolk Broads, or visit the charming cathedral city of Norwich.

About Great Yarmouth
All the vintage attractions await in Great Yarmouth – the treasured Victorian seaside town perched along the Norfolk coast. There's castle-making along the Golden Mile of sands, neon lights at the arcades, and enough trotting horse carousels and amusement rides to fill a whole afternoon at the pier. While all this seaside entertainment may be an acquired taste, the kids (and big kids) will love it. And when it's time...
