About this property
This 300 year old luxurious and stylish Grade II listed flint cottage in the coastal village of Holme-next-the-Sea is the perfect love nest for two. Piper Cottage is fabulously styled with original beams, thick stone walls and a wood burning stove. Just a short stroll to the beach and very close to the village pub, which now features a coffee shop and bakery, you can enjoy a fresh croissant to complement your morning walk.
Step inside and you're guaranteed to fall in love almost immediately. The owner, who is an interior designer, has styled the property carefully using a palette of soft greys and blues, which reflects the coastal location and little touches make this place very special whatever time of year you choose to visit. Walk into the living space and take a seat on the soft sofa or one of the easy chairs. With dining space for four, you can look forward to supper over a glass of wine or simply write postcards home. Off the sitting room you'll find a beamed kitchen with modern painted units, granite worktops and a Butlers sink which blends perfectly with the interior of the cottage. Perfectly formed and well-equipped, you'll find everything you need to cook up a treat, using locally caught seafood and shell fish and some fabulous local produce, all available locally within a five mile radius.
Climb the Norfolk winder staircase to the first floor where you’ll discover the beautiful master bedroom, hosting a stunning king-size bed with quality linens, soft feather pillows, duvets and soft furnishings. Next door you'll find a super shower room and a separate WC. Outside you have a pretty south facing paved courtyard to enjoy, with garden furniture provided so you can soak up the rays and enjoy a leisurely coffee. There is also an additional small gravelled seating, relaxing, eating area at the rear of the cottage - both outside areas are fenced and dog proof.
On a practical note there is also a spacious utility room which comes with the property which is located in an outbuilding, just a few steps from the row of cottages. Here you'll find a washing machine, Butlers sink, barbecue base and additional fridge/freezer.
Piper cottage is nestled in the heart of this quiet village, close to the recently refurbished pub, serving great food, and only a short 15 minute stroll across the golf course to the sandy beach. The pub now features a coffee shop and bakery, so indulge in fresh morning croissants. Just a short drive away there are numerous other pubs and restaurants, shops and galleries in both Thornham and Old Hunstanton and of course the whole of the coast is just waiting to be explored. If you enjoy golf, then head to the famous links course at Old Hunstanton, a five minute drive away or you can walk the course from Holme.
This property is also available as a sleeps four option with the second floor bedroom open, listed as Piper Cottage.

Our second visit, lovely cosy well equipped cottage for two and small dog. Location is perfect as we did not need to use the car; footpath across the road led to a nature reserve, then to sea marshes, finally to sand dunes and a beautiful sandy beach. Pub and bakery just across the road. The cottage is a short walk to the main road where you can access the hourly coastal hopper bus.

Beautiful comfortable cottage in a brilliant location: an excellent base to explore North Norfolk. All the nature reserves are amazing for wildlife - saw so many birds we had never seen before ie marsh harrier, hen harrier, a sanderling. The White Horse pub and bakery are excellent. Drove Orchards farm shop plus Eric's Fish & Chips - so good, and so handy close by. Will be back to Holme-next-the-Sea. Thank you so much.

What a lovely week we've had. This is our fourth visit to your beautiful cottage but our first at Christmas time. It has been really cosy. We loved the Christmas tree inside and subtle decorations. It was lovely on Tuesday evening listening to the carol singers around the village. We visited the bakery too many times, very good! We have done lots of walking as the weather was perfect. Thank you again and Happy New Year.
