Expect extra brownie points for choosing this little seaside beauty for a short or longer stay in the charming coastal village of Holme-next-the-Sea. This luxurious and stylish Grade II listed 300 year old flint cottage, can either be a romantic love nest for two or a wonderfully unique homestay for four.
Nestled in the heart of this quiet village opposite the pub which serves good food and only a short 20 minute stroll across the golf course to the sandy beach, Piper Cottage is fabulously located and filled with original beams, thick stone walls and a wood burning stove.
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 first of the two beautiful bedrooms; a stunning king-size bedroom with quality linens, soft feather pillows, duvets and soft furnishings. Next door you'll find a super shower room and a separate WC. Up a further winder staircase you'll find the twin bedroom which is located on the second floor. Equally as stylish, it also has quality linens with soft feather pillows and duvets. You are also rewarded with distant views of the sea on a clear day.
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 which is fenced and dog secure.
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.
Just a short drive away there are numerous 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 short five-minute drive away or you can walk the course from Holme.
