Sybil Cottage (4), Holme-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

Situated within easy reach of the sandy beach at Holme-next-the-Sea, this contemporary carrstone semi-detached cottage beautifully embodies modern coastal living. Boasting expertly landscaped gardens reaching for almost an acre, and a lush secret wooded area with verdant panoramic countryside views, this hideaway offers guests a blended rural seaside experience.

Thoughtfully extended, this traditional Norfolk carrstone cottage is in an idyllic location tucked away on a quiet back lane, approximately a 20 minutes walk from expansive and tranquil Holme beach. Entered via a gravel pathway up to a welcoming porch, guests are led into a bright well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances set atop delightful wooden worktops. With plenty of worktop space available, be sure to take the opportunity to cook up a delicious meal made using the delectable local produce that this area is famed for. With rustic stripped wooden floorboards, the adjacent dining area provides seating for up to eights guests around an ample farmhouse table. This is the perfect place to gather for breakfast to plan for the day ahead, or to share food, wine and conversation late into the evening.

Two stylish comfortable sofas are hosted in the combined garden room, which gives access to the remarkable garden via french doors. Open up the doors on warm days to let the fresh coastal air drift through. Also providing access to the gardens, conveniently located bedroom two is on the ground floor, making it ideal for less mobile guests, or guests who prefer a bit of privacy away from the rest of the party. Well lit with natural light, this bedroom hosts a king-size bed and is served by an adjacent bathroom. Plenty of comfortable seating is provided by the deep sofas in the sitting room. With a wood burning stove, this room is the ideal place to relax after a day spent in the big outdoors.

Upstairs, the impressive master suite hosts a king-size bed under a Velux window, and features a large luxurious free standing bath elevated on a wooden platform to allow views to the garden. Floor to ceiling french doors give access to a balcony that shares the same stunning vista. In addition, an en suite shower room accompanies this bedroom.

Outside, the exquisite gardens are a considerable asset to this property. Extending to almost an acre and comprised of three lawned areas with a fabulous dining terrace, formal hedging, colourful borders, a summerhouse with a great supply of family games, a trampoline and swings plus a woodland area with a zip-wire, the gardens are perfect for alfresco suppers and for supervised children to explore and to let imaginations run wild. A secluded area in the woodland with a bench and fire-pit makes a great space for guests to share stories over roasted marshmallows long into a summer evening. A gravel driveway provides parking for up to three cars.

Guests will find this a great location from which to explore all that this part of Norfolk has to offer, including stunning beaches, culinary delights, picturesque villages, as well as many other exciting attractions. An area rich in natural history and vibrant wildlife, Holme is circumvented by nature reserves, including Holme Dunes. The Norfolk Coastal Path is also reachable within an easy 15 minute walk from this property. A welcoming village pub, The White Horse, is a charming community hub for locals and visitors.
