With plenty of 16th-century charm, modern verve, and beautiful views of the North Norfolk coastline, this manor home speaks to holiday-goers looking for much more than just a beach holiday. Brimming with character, this bright and bold home gives way to a third acre of garden, but it’s in the dappled shade of the trees that you’ll find a hot tub that offers attractive sea views. Let the last dregs of tension melt away as you enjoy a glass of wine at sunset or spend sunny afternoons lazily sipping wine as you nibble cheese and crackers at the outdoor dining table. Take the garden path through the woods and to the beach, where you can spend the day building sandcastles in the sand or strolling through the shallow surf. Sunbathe, picnic al fresco and find a comfortable reading position as you work through your holiday book list. Mundesley, a quaint Victorian market town, is great for dining and window shopping, but you can also drive to Cromer, Sheringham, Wells, and the rest of the coast.
