About this property
Resting on a quiet side road in the coastal town of Hunstanton is this delightful Victorian town house traditionally built in beautiful carr stone and well-presented throughout. This lovely property set over three floors plays host to five bedrooms ideally suited to families and friends looking to discover the vibrant region of East Anglia. Step into the large hallway and make your way through to the sitting room which is beautifully presented with sumptuous sofas, modern furnishings and a lovely bay window drawing in plenty of light. This along with the dining room next door has the option to present an open-plan interior space with double doors adjoining the two. The kitchen also benefits from an extra dining area and features an ultra-modern set-up and patio doors leading outdoors. The second floor comprises a family bathroom, a children's bunk room and a twin with an interlinking double, perfect for a family of four. Glide on up to the third floor where you will find another double room and bathroom with sink and WC next door. The garden is the perfect little haven to relax and unwind on the decking under the shaded trees. The kids can immerse themselves in an exciting game of hide-and-seek through the enchanting alcoves of wildlife while you sit out in the opening, a delightful little suntrap with seating for you to enjoy a glass of refreshing wine. With just a 5 minute walk to the beach, this cottage is in a superb location for exploring the Norfolk Coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are so many attractions available in the nearby towns of King's Lynn, Norwich and The Broads, and the local town of Hunstanton offers a promenade along the seafront with funfair rides, candyfloss stalls and much more for the kids to enjoy. Explore what East Anglia has to offer from this heart-warming town house.

A very relaxing stay with no real issues. House is very comfortable with a great garden for dogs. Liked it so much we've booked again for next summer.

I have used your properties before but have never found one like this. The arrival process was fine and at first everything seemed okay until!!! One of the double bedroom's is directly off of a twin room. It is accessed by a short flight of stairs but there is no door to provide privacy from the occupants of the twin bedded room. Also you have to go through that room in order to reach the double room. This is only acceptable for a family but is still poor and not mentioned in the property listing. The third floor room is cold and the radiator only gets warm at the bottom. We bled it and it improved a little but not enough for the occupant to feel warm and nothing like the temperature of the lower room radiators. Both of the shower doors leak. Water from the upstairs shower drains through the ceiling via the ceiling light unit and drops into the toilet area below. The downstairs unit leaks onto the wooden step, the inner edge of which has rotted due to repeatedly being wet. Door latches required adjusting so that the doors would latch and stay closed. The light above the cooker had failed and we had to change it in order to see while we were cooking. Pans, bowls etc were stored randomly in the cupboards and and take up nearly all of the space. As a result there is very limited space to store food! The oven only has one shelf and the tray beneath it was covered in foil to hide the burned on food remains that were beneath it. It took half an hour of rubbing with a Brillo pad and a spell in the dishwasher to make it usable. The largest frying pan was rusty on the inside. Add to this the fact that locking the front door was very difficult and I think you can perhaps understand why I wonder how this property came to be listed by you. The final insult was the cleaner arriving at 9.00am and insisting that we should have left by then. Your listing states a departure time of 10.00 am. I look forward to receiving your reply

No lock on the top floor loo, no mirror, but still a very nice place to stay, we had a great time.
