About this property
Snettisham 2.6 miles. This lovely end-terrace is situated in the seaside resort of Heacham in King's Hill, West Norfolk, less than a mile and a half from the beach. Modern yet full of character, this recently refurbished property makes a great getaway for families and groups of friends who love being near the sea, but who also enjoy being close to the local town and amenities. On the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen and dining room where meals and conversation can be enjoyed, as well as a sitting room with an open fire, TV and video game console. Heading to the first floor, youll find a double bedroom with a king-size bed, a twin bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom with separate shower. Another double bedroom can be found on the second floor with a beamed ceiling. The kitchen provides access to the enclosed paved garden which offers outdoor seating as well as a BBQ area. There is also access to the off-road parking which is available with this property. This Heacham property is situated within a short distance of the town centre which offers a Post Office, pharmacist, Co-op and Tesco, as well as a local vet. Less than a mile and a half away (just over five minutes by car) is Heacham Beach, which is a great place to enjoy the weather, play with children, walk the dog or simply take a stroll in the evening. Although it can get busy during peak periods, it's also well known for being quieter in the evening. The famous Norfolk Lavender fields can be found less than a mile away too, with around 100 acres of lavender fields as well as a small gift shop and restaurant. This property is ideally located for a lot of the attractions in the area, with many of them easily accessible within walking distance.
Heacham is a large village located on the West Norfolk coastline, on The Wash, boasting a lovely family friendly sandy beach, ideal for jet skis, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village has many cottages built from Carstone, which is a feature of this part of Norfolk, and also offers a good range of shops, restaurants and country pubs. This part of Norfolk is renowned for its abundance of birdlife throughout the year, with several local rspb sites, while within easy driving distance is Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, as seen on BBC's Springwatch.

A well equipped, warm and comfortable holiday home. We have a winter break to take our dogs to the coast each year and many homes we would not return to for various reasons. However this was not one of them and we would be more than happy to return to Fern Cottage.

We were really touched by all the efforts made to decorate the place and make it feel really festive! Heacham is really well placed for exploring the area and contains enough shops, pubs and takeaways for all needs within walking distance. An easy walk to miles of dog friendly beach too, and the enclosed back yard was perfect for the dog. Parking is possible round the back for unloading but we decided it was easier to park on the street at the front from then on and never struggled to find a space.

The kitchen was well equipped everything you could possibly need. The lounge was cosy, but the sofa throws were unpractical on leather and we spent a lot of time adjusting them, although the cottage sleeps 6 only seating in lounge for 4 adults. The steps are steep as described but the bottom 2 are small and extra care is certainly required. We parked roadside as the parking space was originally the back garden and access is extremely difficult if the neighbours car is on the their driveway.
