Overview
Property code: NCC08

A far cry from its original incarnation as Holt Workhouse, this Grade II listed cottage is now a wonderfully comfortable holiday home, suitable for a couple or small family of three to enjoy a restful break away. To the front of the cottage a lawned garden and patio seating area provide guests with an attractive outside space to enjoy al fresco drinks, whilst inside the accommodation is set across one floor and has been thoughtfully finished with a well-equipped kitchen, cosy bedrooms, and underfloor heating.

An attractive Georgian town, it is easy to see why locals and visitors alike come here to enjoy a leisurely day of wandering the independent shops and lunching in one of the numerous pubs, cafes, and restaurants which lie nestled in the town’s attractive squares. All of this can be reached within a pleasant 0.5 mile walk from this property, making it ideal for those who want to be within easy reach of the town’s amenities, whilst enjoying a quiet residential location.

The town of Holt lies just 4.5 miles from the beautiful North Norfolk coast which can be reached either by car or alternatively by steam train on the railway line running between Holt and the seaside resort of Sheringham, 6.5 miles away. Once a fishing village, Sheringham is now a popular spot for holidaymakers to visit with a seafront promenade and a shingle beach which gives way to wide stretches of sand at low tide.

No electrical item instructions. Draining board does not drain, make sure to clean it after each use. Would not recommend for 4 people, second bedroom is very small, bed against wall, no wardrobe and room very dark. But very comfortable for 2 people, close to town centre and North Norfolk Steam Railway! Driveway quite awkward, needs patience to negRead moreotiate. Hide

Cosy cottage beds very comfortable and cottage clean Equipment in the kitchen needs a bit more thought with extra items provided Car parking very difficult if you have a larger car than a mini which also takes up a lot of the garden which is quiet small ( I finished up parking on the roadside Dishwasher available but no tablets Wi-Fi works well
