What's not to love about this coastal cottage? It sits on an acre of tree-lined gardens, with a natural brook running straight through the grounds. Just over the footbridge lies West Runton Common, where shops, pubs, a National Trust property and the sea are all within walking distance. It's a mere sixteen-minute stroll to the sandy beach and a nine-minute drive to Cromer – as far as locations go, you couldn't ask for better.

Inside, personal touches are everywhere, from the welcome hamper full of local goodies to the Alexa speakers with Spotify in every room. The heart of the home is the fully-stocked modern kitchen – we think it's a dream to cook in, especially with a glass of wine in hand, and the eight-seater dining table calls for family dinners and free-flowing conversation. While barbecues and cocktail hours in the garden are a must-do during the warmer months, we think there's no cosier spot to relax than the garden room. In the summer, the rain-sensitive electric roof slides open to reveal blue skies and refreshing sea air, while the open firebox and leather sofa are perfect for snuggling up in the winter.

This three-bedroom cottage in West Runton, a quaint village on the North Norfolk coast, offers an idyllic retreat for family and friends at any time of the year. In colder months, cosy up on the sofa beside the log fire and cook hearty meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. On sunny days, sit out in the garden or pack a picnic to take to the local blue-flag beach, just fifteen minutes’ walk away. There are three large bedrooms, one of which has patio doors leading out to the garden, and two bathrooms with rainfall showers (one over a bath). Days out can be spent walking the Norfolk Coastal Path or visiting the nearby seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer - be sure to try some of the latter's famous crab while you’re there. The village itself has several pubs, restaurants and shops, as well as a links golf course. Be sure to read up about the West Runton Elephant before your visit - the fossilized mammoth skeleton was discovered in the beach cliffs in 1990.

Balcony

You can just tell by looking at this small home perched above the Sheringham coastlinethat there's an interesting backstory. And there is – it was once a Victorian toilet block until it fell out of use and was brought by the owner as a gift for his wife. Today, you'll find a truly unique home that brings you as close to the beach as you can get.

The first thing that will command your attention is the uninterrupted views of the North Sea, which you can admire from the floor-to-ceiling glass doors or with the wind on your face as you stand on the balcony. Despite the humble size of the home, the design doesn't feel cramped in the slightest, especially the horse-shoe-shaped kitchen that is more than big enough to cook up some hearty home-cooked fare. The only drawback is a lack of a dining table, but the balcony furniture can be used to seat all four inside.

As a glance out the windows will show you, Sheringham's beach can be reached in a matter of moments and you can continue wandering along the promenade into the town centre. Turning away from the sea, there are plenty of rural attractions to discover in surrounding Norfolk, including Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate only fifteen minutes' drive away.

As you'd expect from a lighthouse cottage (built in 1680), this home has sea views from the private garden and the living space. We love that the bedroom has been formed from the circular base of the lighthouse tower (though the bathroom is back up the stairs off the living room). And the good news is this lighthouse doesn't have a fog signal, so you won't be woken in the middle of the night. When you feel like exploring, a ten-minute stroll along the coastal path will take you to the North Norfolk town of Cromer, with its sandy beach and an array of shops and restaurants. Or for golf lovers, adjacent to the lighthouse is a golf course.

Courtyard

You’ll find this charming brick and flint cottage in the heart of East Runton, a five-minute stroll to the beach and just 1.5 miles from the quintessentially British seaside town of Cromer. Incorporating a mix of original features and modern additions, snooze soundly beneath the whitewashed timber beams in the quiet bedrooms before whipping up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Spend sunny mornings in the courtyard, taking your time over a cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle until you’re ready to explore your surroundings. 

Ramble along the coastal path for 3 miles to Sheringham or stay local and stretch out on the nearby sands. When the day draws to a close, sample fresh seafood at a nearby eatery or jump in the car and treat yourself to a Michelin-starred meal at Morston Hall, less than a thirty-minute drive away.

The peaceful location will let you unwind and feel rejuvenated, as you enjoy your morning coffee in the mini-desert garden. Unleash your competitive side as you play a quick game of pool before you head out to explore the charm of Cromer, including taking a walk down its Victorian pier before indulging in some fish and chips.

Wooden beams adorn the ceilings, creating a beautiful blend of traditional architecture and modern features found throughout the home. Snuggle up together on the sofa by the roaring fireplace to watch a heartfelt comedy movie on the TV, or get comfy on one of the armchairs to read a mystery novel.

Tuck into tasty meals at the wooden dining table, or enjoy an al fresco experience in the courtyard under the sun.

Beaming Bliss

Swimming Pool

Hot Tub

Nestled on the grounds of the Cromer Country Club, guests lucky enough to stay here can enjoy the peace and quiet, and excellent amenities. Make use of the swimming pool, the spa, and gym facilities, or enjoy a day at the next-door Royal Cromer Golf Club. More importantly, you’ll be staying just moments from the sea. That means fishing, crabbing, swimming, boating and more are all available to guests who come here for a little bit of fresh sea air. Step into the home and you’ll find a balance of coastal-inspired and modern furnishings. This family-friendly home also provides guests with highchairs, baby gates, and a travel cot to ensure everyone can relax on this trip. Split across two levels, the upstairs bedrooms benefit from picturesque sea views, while the home’s backyard is perfect for lawn games, dining al fresco, and basking in the sunshine. Also included in your stay is access to a games room and an indoor play area - perfect for some family fun away from home.

Seaside village life is on your doorstep at this traditional brick-and-flint cottage, nestled in vibrant East Runton and just a ten-minute amble from the post-card pretty, sandy beach.

Inside, this deceptively spacious home is beautifully reimagined for modern living. There are bright, open-plan living spaces for all eight of you to spill into for catch-ups and mealtimes. And a separate cosy snug and sitting room to retreat with a cuppa and good book if you’re after some peace and quiet. 

Outside, the neat little courtyard is the perfect spot for sunny morning coffees. And groups of extended family or friends will love how the light-filled bedrooms are slightly spaced apart over two floors to give everyone that extra privacy.

When it’s time to give seaside village life a whirl, you won’t have far to go. East Runton’s beach, traditional inn, and obligatory fish and chips shop are less than ten minutes from your door. And just a smidge further, the coastal path for cliff-top walks leading to Sheringham in one direction or Cromer in the other. You’re only dilemma will be deciding which direction to blaze a trail in first.

A Seaside Vintage

XBox

Sitting close to the Cromer coastline, this home was once a fisherman's cottage, but enough contemporary additions and changes have been made in the intervening years to make it a great stay for those who have never cast a line in their lives.

On the ground floor, we love the open-concept dining-kitchen area, particularly the sleek surfaces and vintage film posters on the walls, while we've also got kind words for the cosy living room – we're betting you can already picture long nights playing board games by the wood burner. Upstairs, the freestanding bathtub will be a welcome sight for those who are fans of long and languorous soaks.

As an added bonus, the address has a private courtyard complete with an alfresco table and a barbecue that will serve you well during the summer months. If the sun makes a regular appearance during your stay, the town's pier, esplanade and beach can all be reached in under ten minutes on foot, while Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate take a similar amount of time to reach in the car.

Burning Love

This home is so close to the sea, you can practically taste the salt in the air. In fact, Cromer's pebble-and-sand beach is just a six-minute stroll away and the Victorian pier is reachable in ten – how's that for location? There's something for everyone on this stretch of the Norfolk coast, no matter if you prefer sunbathing and swimming or long walks along the shore. Try your hand at crabbing, climb to the top of the church tower for stunning views, or follow the path to the lighthouse and watch the sun go down.

After a long day taking in the sights, there's no better spot to unwind than this inviting homestead. Plop down on the cushy sectional sofa with a glass of wine and rest your feet, or if you're feeling peckish, rustle up a meal using the famous Cromer crab in the sleek kitchen. During the winter, the Aga stove is a dream to cook on – not to mention incredibly cosy – and board games and books will keep everyone entertained on rainy days. The summer, however, is best spent in the garden, where you can host barbecues in the evening sun and dine alfresco under the stars.

Amber Grain

Don't you just love a garden with a sea view? Even better, this charming semi-detached cottage is next to a lighthouse, built in 1833. There's no need to worry – the lighthouse doesn't have a fog signal, so you won't be jumping whenever it's misty (though it does need regular maintenance, so staff may visit during your stay). Even inside, you can admire the vistas of the lighthouse, sea and neighbouring golf course (yes, you heard that right, golf lovers). If you prefer the beach, Cromer, with its traditional pier and colourful beach huts, is a ten-minute stroll along the coastal path.

The Naval Captain

Air Conditioning

Located in central Cromer – just a short walk from local cafes, shops and, of course, the beach – this home features a large enclosed garden, hot tub, and a log burner, making it perfect for relaxing coastal breaks – whether it’s summer or winter, raining or the sun is shining brightly.

Begin your days here with a lazy breakfast alfresco on the patio while your children and four-legged friends let off steam on the lawn. Then, head to Cromer beach and pier for the day – just don’t forget to check when dogs are allowed on the beach. Cromer beach is popular for both surfing and swimming, while the famous pier offers a one-of-a-kind show that you won’t want to miss. 

Explore the town of Cromer, which used to be known as an old fishing town and still features buildings dating back to the Victorian era. Then, in the evening head back to the house and fire up the barbecue for that British summer outdoor dining experience. Once the children are in bed, unwind in the hot tub with a refreshing glass of wine. Or, on chilly nights, curl up on the living room sofa in front of the wood burner fireplace. 

Rose & Dawn

Indoor Pool

Shared Pool

This pretty flint barn is just as characterful on the inside as it is on the outside. Relax under the warm wooden beams and exposed brick walls. In the morning, stroll down to the heated indoor pool and work up an appetite in the water before eating breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen. In the evening, gather in the lounge to have fun and play board games. Based just on the outskirts of Cromer, be sure to sample the town's iconic crab on your visit. Spend a day on the sandy beach, stroll on the pier and take in the traditional seafront food, independent shops and entertainment. History buffs and nature enthusiasts rejoice - there are plenty of National Trust sites and Areas of Outstanding Beauty nearby and the gorgeous Norfolk Broads are just a 45 minute drive away. 

Flint & Orangery

Quaint and cosy, this old shoemaker's cottage in the heart of Cromer is a perfect seaside retreat for two. It's just a two-minute walk from Cromer Beach and the Victorian pier, making it a top-notch spot for couples to unwind. 

Inside, the home hasn't lost any of its traditional charm, thanks to the wooden floors, timber beams and vintage furniture. Lighthouses and wooden shoes line the shelves, paying homage to the cottage’s excellent seaside location as well as its history. The living room is warm and comfortable — on chilly nights, snuggle in front of the electric fire with a good book and a glass of wine. While the kitchen is on the smaller side, it still has everything you need to whip up a quick breakfast or light lunch. 

When it's time for dinner, we recommend grabbing a bite to eat at one of the fabulous restaurants, delis, and cafés in town, then finishing off the evening with a nightcap at the pub across the road.

Wooden Shoes

This delightful home was once part of a Victorian villa. It’s been beautifully refurbished and now stands as a fabulous holiday home in the centre of Cromer. This coastal home is just a nine-minute walk from Cromer’s sandy Blue Flag beach, where you can admire the colourful beach huts and build sandcastles. The lovely pier is ten minutes away on foot, and you’re within easy reach of pubs, restaurants, and shops too. Cromer may be a seaside resort, but it’s popular year-round, and it’s easy to see why. 

In addition to boasting an excellent location right in the thick of things, this home has plenty of charm. It’s bright and stylish while still feeling oh-so-welcoming – it’s a real home from home. The open-plan kitchen and dining room are the heart of the home, where you’ll tuck into hearty breakfasts to set you up for the day, and unwrap takeaway fish and chips in the evening. If the weather turns chilly, you might curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner. When it’s nice and warm though, you’ll want to sit out in the courtyard garden. Perhaps you’ll fire up the barbecue for dinner after spending the day at the beach, and sit out late feeling sun-kissed and relaxed. 


The Blue Door By The Sea

Continuously securing a spot as one of the area’s best holiday cottages from the Sunday Times Top 20 to Norfolk Life, this exceptional home deserves all the praise and recognition it gets. Poised at the water’s edge in the historic town of Cromer, you can count on breathtaking sea, beach and pier views from every level. Spread across three floors, there’s enough room to accommodate eleven guests at this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, making it an excellent choice for a bunch of friends or an extended family. 

Inside the home, it's warm and inviting with comfy royal blue sofas and two rustic wood-burners to keep things extra cosy. Perch over the balcony with a cup of coffee or a book from the home's collection. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac facing the sea, you’re just a two-minute walk from both the town centre and miles of white sandy beaches. Enjoy alfresco dining in the courtyard, wake up to the sound of crashing waves, explore all that Cromer has to offer or simply spend endless days basking in the sunshine on the beautiful beach.

Blue Crescent Moon

Bike Shed

This charming apartment serves up a classic seaside retreat. Situated in the popular town of Cromer on the North Norfolk Coast, step out of your home-away-from-home and you’ll find the beach, cliffs, promenade and Cromer Pier on your doorstep. If the sea air is what you’re seeking, you couldn’t have come to a better place. 
 
Step in through the front door and you’ll find that contemporary furnishings mingle effortlessly with the classical Edwardian style of this home, with its high ceilings, ornate fireplace and generously-sized rooms. With mostly neutral decor, pops of colour provided through yellow blankets, quirky green shelves and fuschia pink cushions make this a happy home. It’s the perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Head home, crack open a bottle of wine and sit in the peaceful garden to recap on the day’s adventures. For those travelling with children, they can happily entertain themselves inside with endless entertainment options, including a Smart TV, DVD player, games console and sound system. You won’t hear a peep from them while you enjoy your evening tipple.
 
As a new day dawns, pop on your coffee machine, grab a cup and head back to the conservatory area just off your master bedroom. As the sun shines quietly through the windows, you can plan another day of adventure with your loved ones, making memories that will last long after the holiday has come to an end. 

Seaside Secret

Luxury Toiletries

Desk / Workplace

A striking flint barn tucked away on the outskirts of Cromer, this recently converted home is sure to thrill you. Boasting impressive double-height ceilings, exposed trusses and windows reaching from floor to ceiling, this home is a sight to behold. This grand space feels homely and welcoming, and the architects have brought the flint exterior inside, flaunting Norfolk’s take on exposed brick, and we love it. With its large open-plan layout, the living area is the main social hub, perfect for cooking and chatting, dining, and spending quality time together. 

Step through the glass doors and into the garden, where you’ll find expansive lawns and plenty of comfortable seating. Plus, you’re ideally positioned for walking and cycling, and nearby Cromer Beach is just a short way away, offering entertainment for all ages. Guests keen on doing some shopping or in search of delicious food should head to Norwich for its many excellent restaurants, boutique shops and theatres, a short drive or an easy train ride away.

The Barn Abbey

Nestled in the heart of Cromer – just ten minutes’ walk from the town’s iconic pier – this beautiful seaside cottage is the perfect setting for a relaxing family getaway or couples retreat to the stunning Norfolk Coast. What this place lacks in showstopping amenities, it more than makes up for in thoughtful design, boasting simple but stylish furniture that will make you feel at home the second you step over the threshold. Sit back and relax on the living room sofa, whip up a hearty seafood dish in the deceptively large kitchen, or curl up in bed with a good book and a delicious cup of tea. 

When you’re ready to head out, you’ll find yourself within easy reach of some of Cromer’s most exciting attractions. Soak up some culture at the local history museum, practise your swing at The Royal Cromer Golf Club, or treat little ones to a fun-filled day out at Amazona Zoo. However you choose to spend your time here, you’ll love coming home to your gorgeous holiday cottage, where you’ll have everything you need for an unforgettable stay on Britain’s east coast. 

By the Pier

Satellite / Cable TV

Child Friendly

There’s nothing better for blowing away the cobwebs than a bracing walk along the seafront. This cosy home in Cromer makes for a fantastic base for a family seaside visit. It’s within easy walking distance of the sea, beach and Cromer Pier, so make sure you bring your bucket and spade. If the water isn’t too chilly, you can paddle and skim stones as you walk along the coast, before picking up a parcel of piping-hot fish and chips. Eat them from the paper as you take in the sea views and the pretty coloured beach huts – this is a lovely spot. 

Back at the house, you can look forward to spending your evenings curled up in front of the log-burning fire on colder evenings, and out in the garden when the weather is warm. There are two sitting rooms here, which is ideal when you’re travelling with a couple of families. Set the little ones up in front of a film, and sit back to relax with the grown-ups. The sunny courtyard garden is a delightful spot for a sundowner and an alfresco takeaway dinner. 

After a day of cliff-top walks and coastal breezes, this is exactly the kind of warm and welcoming home you long for. You’ll love it here. 


Cosy In Cromer

There’s more to this barn conversion than meets the eye. Beyond the character features like velvet sofas and hand-painted wardrobes, you’ll find a dog-friendly enclosed garden. This place really makes the most of outdoor living with a huge corner sofa and outdoor dining table in the walled patio. A great base to explore north Norfolk, it’s just a 15-minute walk into the village of Roughton – with a 24-hour shop, good pub and an award-winning fish and chip shop. And the seaside resort of Cromer is just a 15-minute drive away. Spend your days exploring the area's many sandy beaches, hunt for Cromer's famous crabs or explore the National Trust land at West Runton and Beeston Regis Heath.

Beagles Barn

Just a short stroll away from the seafront, you'll find this cosy cottage. Located in the quiet village of Weybourne on the North Norfolk coast, it's the ideal place to begin your adventures in this wildly beautiful region. 

The semi-detached house is warm and inviting, with comfy sofas and a truly homely ambiance. On lazy Sundays, you can cook up a traditional roast dinner together, then flop down to watch your favourite blockbuster. And, when the sun is shining, you'll want to head outside and enjoy a tipple on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh countryside air. 

The nearby shingle beach is the ideal place for a brisk walk to clear away the cobwebs – or, if you're visiting during the warmer months, the kids can paddle while you relax. The village also has a pub, which is perfect for a pint after a walk with the dog through the rural landscapes. And, should you fancy a change of scene, the bustling seaside village of Cromer is just a short drive away.

Weybourne Waves

While the sun is not always guaranteed, you've always got plenty of sea and sand at this detached home peering across the North Sea in Cromer. We love the panoramic view offered in the living room, and while we think you'll spend most of your time at the beach, the enclosed garden is perfect for a private picnic. During parts of August, the Cromer Carnival comes to town and sets up shop on the grass out front – make sure to check this year's dates if you prefer your sea views unobstructed. 

The Good Ship

Foosball / Table Football

Coffee Maker

Even leaving aside the large capacity, this home is definitely geared towards family gatherings. The open-concept living-dining-kitchen area on the ground floor feels innately sociable and the addition of a foosball table is sure to see things get competitive at one point or another.

Outside, the alfresco seating on the terrace is ideal for languourous summer suppers, while the hot tub is another option in which to sit around and shoot the breeze. Add to that a lawn big enough for games, and you can see where the warmer months will be spent here.

That's when you're actually at the address, of course. With the wealth of distractions nearby, you might find you're away from the home more than you envisioned. The town of Cromer and its beach take no more than five minutes to reach in the car. In the other direction, Felbrigg Hall and Gardens can be reached in a similar amount of time.

Summer Soirée

Seaside village life is on your doorstep at this handsome circa. 1800 apartment perched just a five-minute walk from the vast sands of Overstrand along the East Norfolk Coast.

Inside, this ground-floor regency home makes quite the first impression with its soaring ceilings and magnificent bay windows flooding the elegant living room with afternoon sunlight.

A perfect seaside nest for two, the roll-top bath is a delight for a pre-dinner soak – as is the elegant bedroom with one hug of a king-sized bed. And while there’s no outdoor space to speak of, we don’t think you’ll grumble with the beach this close.

With just a five-minute hop, skip, and a jump, you’ll be on its sandy shores – or perhaps a smidge longer with a pitstop at the cliff-top café along the way to grab coffee and pastries to go. For something a little heartier, the village pub won’t disappoint, neither will the 19th-century Sea Marge restaurant with lawns leading down to the sea. Then all that’s left to do is head for the beach for bracing walks that go on for miles. Or hop on a boat and explore the Broads – it’s like a trip back in time.

End of the Pier

Do bucket-and-spade breaks in style at this handsome three-storey Victorian townhouse located in the seaside town of Sheringham and just 160 steps from the beach. With five bedrooms, there’s room for all ten of you for this staycation on the North Norfolk coast. The enclosed courtyard garden is a nice touch for morning coffees and alfresco dining. But if the weather doesn’t buck up, spill out into the free-flowing living areas and kitchen extension, complete with a range for a cook-up. Don’t fancy cooking? The high street is just moments from your door to grab lip-smacking fish and chips.

The Sea Air

Safety Gates

We didn't realise, you know, how many films have used Cromer as a film location – there are quite a few, so it's somewhat fitting that this home has its own cinema room with a huge flat-screen television. The kids will be delighted as there's also a games console to enjoy. 

We love the living room with its exposed brick walls, theatrical coloured lights and the large kitchen, which opens out onto the garden. Sip a cup of coffee or glass of wine here on warm evenings.

Then, head into Cromer for a meal at one of its many eateries. It’s no wonder this resort is a favourite with families – take a stroll down the pier and see the end-of-pier show (the only remaining one in the UK). There’s certainly plenty to do in this town – of course, there are the beaches and surfing hot spots, as well as the Amazona Zoo, the Cromer Museum and mini golf course. 

A bit further afield,  the vibrant town of Holt is around a twenty-minute drive away, while the 'capital of The Norfolk Broads', Wroxham, is around thirty-five minutes in the car. Norwich, on the other hand, can be reached in approximately forty minutes.



Life on Camera

Nintendo Wii

Rooftop Terrace

Art Deco meets Colonial styling in this showstopper of a property. If the striking good looks don't turn your head there's the incredible sea view. Set back from a clifftop, with a gate out onto the grass, this is the perfect place to escape everyday stress. It's a reasonably undiscovered part of Norfolk so it's perfect if you're trying to evade the crowds. It's a short walk to the village shop and pub, but a seven-minute drive will take you to Cromer – famous for its pier, crab fishing and its long sandy beach. 

Back at the house you can cosy up with a book in the snug, put your feet up in front of the wood-burning stove in the lounge or, if the weather is on your side, eat outside in the beautiful garden. If you can tear your eyes away from the view, that is. Each room is designed to make the most of the ocean vistas with floor-to-ceiling windows in the master bedroom allowing for sunrise stretches and the picture windows in the living room inviting floods of natural light into the communal area for seamless seaside living. 

Deco Bay

Tennis Court

If you're looking to get away from it all, this home is in the ideal spot. All on the ground floor, it's set in a wing of a Grade II listed Palladian Villa and surrounded by 200 acres of unspoilt parkland. Originally built in the 1930s for use during the shooting season, the main part of this impressive house is now a family home. Beautiful arched windows let the sunlight stream into the spacious living room and offer views out over the grounds. 

Step straight from your door to explore the woodland, meadows and lakes of this vast estate – and if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of deers, badgers, otters and all kinds of birdlife. Or enjoy a few games of tennis on the owner's outdoor court. 

It's only a four-minute drive to the nearest pub, or it's a fifteen-minute ride to the delightful coastal town of Cromer with its pier walk, crabbing, and fish and chips by the shore. By day you can explore the area's sandy beaches, walk the Norfolk Coastal Path or discover the National Trust properties of Felbrigg Hall and the Blickling Estate (a ten and twenty-minute drive, respectively).


The Huntsman

Situated in the quaint village of Bodham, this 1890s house is within a few miles of the North Norfolk Coast and just a mile from the local pub. Ideal for families, the home boasts a large, lawned garden, complete with a shaded seating area and a picnic table for alfresco dining. After a leisurely breakfast overlooking the garden, why not jump in the car to explore the surrounding area? With the Georgian town of Holt, the traditional seaside town of Sheringham, and a choice of sandy and pebbly beaches nearby, there’s plenty to discover.

Norfolk Charm

Nestled within an award-winning Grade II listed complex, this rustic home provides the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat on the North Norfolk coast. 

With its origins dating back to the 1700s, the owners have retained the traditional and quirky features of this farmhouse whilst integrating lovely contemporary comforts – the result is a family home that welcomes you with an abundance of charm and character. From the inglenook fireplace and snug rooms to the personal touches, every detail invites you to settle in and make this space your own. So whether you’re staying cosy by the wood-burning stove, sitting down to a candlelit dinner or enjoying some light-hearted entertainment in the games room, this is the kind of home that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to explore. There’s also a vibrant garden with herb beds and a patio – providing a wonderful setting for refreshing drinks and relaxing barbecue meals. 

Days can be spent hiking across National Trust parkland, trekking along cliff-top walks and meandering down country lanes to the nearest village pub. The charming seaside town of Cromer is only two miles away and welcomes you to soak up Norfolk’s big skies and beautiful views. 

Wildflower Blues

From the moment you sweep into the private grounds of this flint-clad Norfolk farmhouse set just a short walk from the beach, you know this isn’t going to be your average coastal bolthole. Dating back to the 1600s and surrounded by three acres of fairytale-esque gardens, this is a home for all ten of you (and your furry friends) to pile in and start living the seaside dream in serious style.

In the summer months, pad out onto the elegant terrace to catch the golden hour sun with a tipple or two. Kids can run amuck on the vast lawns with a kickabout, game of badminton, or search out the garden basket swing, all under your watchful eye. Then head back indoors to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen. There’s a grand dining room if you fancy rolling out the red carpet or keep things casual and alfresco on the veranda.

Enjoy long walks along the nearby cliff tops (a ten-minute walk) in the winter months. Then hunker down beside the fire with a post-walk cuppa. In need of some peace and quiet? That secondary snug is prime for a late afternoon loll or savour a soak in the rolltop bath, just because you can. Meanwhile, the impressive games room should keep the kids (and big kids) happy. 

And when it’s finally time to spread your wings further along the coast, take your pick from some of North Norfolk’s coast finest beaches – the coastal towns of Overstand, Sheringham, and Mundesley are just a short drive away.
