About this property

Close-by is available from 6th April - a spacious hidden gem close to the Quay

Close-by is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, within a five minute walk of Blakeney Quay. It is a spacious detached bungalow which has been charmingly renovated. Set in a large secure garden ideal for a small family or two couples - somewhere to relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The Quay, with its beautiful views over the marshes, tidal creeks and out to sea, is a great place for the family to try their hand at crabbing and a good starting point for a walk along the coastal path. Take a boat trip from nearby Morston to see the seals on Blakeney Point. At Close-by you are within a short stroll of a local delicatessen, well stocked supermarket, fishmongers, coffee shop, restaurants, pubs, garage with petrol pumps, art galleries, card/gift shops, play park and tennis courts.

Regular events including Antique and Collectors Fayres take place in the Village Hall and the Blakeney Harbour Room is a wonderful venue for weekly live music with a wide selection of Groups and Bands.

Close-by has a large driveway with off-street parking for up to 3 cars - a real rarity in Blakeney! There are two garden areas, one at the front and one at the back, which is secure and south facing and ideal for children and pets. The padlocked garden shed (situated in the back garden) is ideal for those wishing to bring their bicycles on holiday.

The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with electric cooker, large fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. A walk-in cupboard houses the water cylinder, brushes and dust pans etc.

The back door leads out to a separate "Boot Room" with hooks for coats and swimming towels; plenty of space for outdoor shoes and wellies.

Bedroom 1 has a king sized bed, chest of drawers, built-in wardrobe (housing ironing board, iron and indoor airer). Bedroom 2 has twin beds, chest of drawers and clothes hooks.

Bath/Shower Room with P-shaped bath, over-bath shower, washbasin and wc.

About the host

Hosted by Juliet Chase

Host profile image
We have been coming to Blakeney for family holidays for 30 years. Our children loved visiting their grand parents, messing about in boats, playing in the creeks and crabbing on the quay. We still enjoy our holidays in Blakeney, visiting friends, braising walks along the coastal path and still mess about in boats!

We are always available to contact during your stay and have local help to cover most situations.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Close-by in 2018 and really enjoyed renovating it during the summer so that our guests can experience and enjoy Blakeney as much as our family has and still does all year round.

The property is ideally situated in a quiet location, close to all the local amenities that Blakeney has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Secure garden and off-street parking for up to 3 cars - a real rarity in Blakeney.

Dog friendly with lots of coastal walks.
