This stunning brick-and-flint retreat makes a fantastic holiday home for larger families and groups of friends enjoying a peaceful rural break in the tranquil surroundings of North Norfolk. Situated within 14 acres of beautiful natural grounds, the sympathetically updated three-storey property offers spacious accommodation for ten guests, with ample space for three canine holidaymakers to come along and explore the region's breathtaking countryside and exhilarating coastline. Enjoying a peaceful location just outside Holt, this elegant hideaway is a perfect venue for hosting an unforgettable special occasion.

Entering this striking property, the welcoming ground floor features a refreshing shower room, a handy utility room and the first bedroom: a sweet king-size with zip-and-link beds that can be made up as a twin on request. On the first floor, you will find a characterful lounge with soft seating, a Smart TV and picturesque garden views. A door leads through to a beautiful, light-filled dining room offering a fantastic spot for a family get-together – canine guests included. This floor also features a stylish, fully equipped kitchen and a beautiful en-suite king-size bedroom. Three en-suite bedrooms occupy the second floor – a cheery twin room (with zip-and-link beds that can be made up as a king-size), and two stylish king-size rooms. Outside, the generous patio provides a fantastic space for a BBQ, with a charming garden offering plenty of space for four-pawed guests to roam. Parking is available for five cars in the carport, plus two further spaces at the front of the property.

The property sits on the western edge of Holt, a characterful Georgian-era town with a range of independent shops, boutiques and restaurants. Holt Country Park offers a great spot for dog walks, or you and your four-legged friends can take a trip by steam train to the popular seaside resort of Sheringham (7.5 miles).
