About this property

The unbridled beauty of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape lies waiting to be discovered from this Brancaster Staithe cottage, an ideal base for an unforgettable coastal retreat. The peaceful, traditional village is set right on the Norfolk Coast Path, connecting you to an array of wildlife-packed destinations and clifftop beauty spots, including the nearby Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve (1 mile). The property itself is an unfussy and extremely comfortable two-storey terrace, altogether hosting five guests and one dog. It’s perfect for families or two couples, offering indoor and outdoor appeal for both winter and summer stays.

Contemporary fixtures sit beside traditional features including a grandfather clock in the living room, all-in-all creating a truly unique place to stay. The living/dining room is spacious with ample comfy seating, an electric fire and a Smart TV, allowing you to truly unwind in the evenings between daily Norfolk excursions. The kitchen is just next door, as is a handy ground-floor WC. Moving outside, a rear garden is entirely enclosed and furnished for al fresco days and nights when the sun shines. Back indoors, all three bedrooms are upstairs, accompanied by a family bathroom. Two rooms, the double and the single, offer plenty of storage space to ensure a clutter-free getting-ready space.

Animal adventures and trips to local beaches are on the cards when staying here. Move towards Brancaster Beach (3 miles), one of Norfolk’s best beaches with miles of golden sand and explore the rspb beauty spot of Titchwell Marsh (3.5 miles) to spot ample sea birds in the skies above. Norfolk is well known for its resident seals, and you’re neatly positioned between two seal-spotting hot spots, Blakeney Point (16 miles) and Hunstanton (9 miles). The latter is an appealing seaside town with plenty of coastal appeal, well worth a day or two of your time.
