Idyllically situated overlooking the village duck pond, this gorgeously spacious and characterful cottage sits privately within its own sunny walled garden and comes with two boutique en-suite bedrooms and lots of ground floor living space. Perfect for couples seeking a holiday cottage close to the coast and in easy walking distance of a good village pub, trendy café/deli and an enchanting village shop, which is right on the edge of HM The King's Sandringham Estate.
Step inside this comfortable and spacious brick and flint semi-detached cottage and you will feel at home instantly. The large farmhouse-style contemporary dining kitchen is extremely well-equipped and stylish, as is the remainder of the cottage. With a large hallway with wood burning stove, stylish sitting room leading onto a large spacious garden room with lots of light, it was originally the dairy for Pond Farmhouse next door. Now a stylish holiday home, this delightful property has certainly retained its character. What it doesn't do though is skimp on style; and the two bedrooms; which feature a king-size bed and super-king zip and link bed, come with comfortable deep hotel-style mattresses with quality Egyptian cotton linens, soft duvets, plump pillows and fluffy towels to make your stay special and to enhance your relaxation. Two well-appointed en-suite shower rooms make this special homestay complete.
Outside there is off-road parking and a large south facing fully-enclosed rear garden to dine alfresco on warm summer days.
