About this property

Located in Burnham Thorpe, where Admiral Nelson resided, Orchard Cottage is an authentic Norfolk brick and flint detached hideaway tucked away on the quiet edges of the village. Spacious and beautifully appointed, this property exudes modern pastoral charm.

Instantly welcoming, Orchard Cottage is a true Norfolk home-from-home. Offering an abundance of space in a relaxing setting, this hideaway has been traditionally furnished with a kick of artistic flare. On the ground floor, the large well-equipped kitchen with breakfast table is curated as the social hub of the house where time will be well spent making lasting holiday memories. A convenient adjoining utility room is perfect for drying coats, boots and damp dogs. The exquisite grand dual aspect sitting room boasts two seating areas, an extensive library of books, and the electric flame burner adds warmth and ambience. From here, french doors lead into the expansive well-kept garden. An additional snug is an ideal spot for anyone looking for a quiet place to read, study or work. For less mobile guests, or those who prefer a bit of space away from the main group, a single bedroom and cloakroom are located on the ground floor. Upstairs on the first floor, three further bedrooms are beautifully presented, comprising of a master king-size bedroom with en suite, a further king-size bedroom, and a twin bedroom. A good-sized family bathroom offers a separate bath and walk-in shower. Outside, the generous enclosed garden is perfect for enjoying warm sunny days, and for allowing children and dogs to play safely. In the autumn and winter months, great skeins of geese fly straight over the house - a magnificent spectacle to behold. Parking for three cars is available on the gravel driveway, or one car plus a boat.

Offering the perfect blend of rural and coastal living, Orchard Cottage is a truly special Norfolk hideaway at any time of year. The thoughtfully appointed accommodation will appeal to all manner of holidaymakers; one or two families, couples, or friends. Nestled on a quiet back lane, yet within easy reach of shopping, walking, dining out, birdwatching, cycling or sailing. Plus, the village pub The Lord Nelson is just a two minute stagger away! In addition, there is plenty of space on the driveway for guests to park their own boat, with nearby Burnham-Overy-Staithe being a haven for sailing. Just down the road, Holkham Hall offers cycle hire for exploring the stunning deer-filled parkland. A visit to the wide sandy far-reaching beach at Holkham Bay is a must at any time of the year.
