About this property
Typical Norfolk brick and flint character cottage which is cosy and comfortable
A super country cottage; cosy and comfortable for dogs (and their owners!) Located in the peaceful rural village of Helhoughton. With king-size and a super-king / twin beds, this delightful calming cottage will definitely help you to refresh and restore.
A typical Norfolk brick and flint character cottage, pretty Peony Cottage was built in the Victorian era and, following a full refurbishment in 2019, now enjoys a fresh and contemporary, country vibe enhanced by tasteful Farrow & Ball colours throughout. On the ground floor, entering the cottage via a welcoming entrance lobby, that sits adjacent to a very pleasant, well-equipped dining kitchen, with the benefit of luxurious Karndean flooring. Next door, a bright sitting room with views over the garden has an ultra-efficient Clearview wood burning stove adding extra warmth and an ambient glow on cooler days, encouraging you to unwind after busy day. From here, a small rear hallway leads up to the first floor via quite steep (but straight) stairs, but a sturdy hand rail helps you on your way. Upstairs you will find two inviting bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a super-king which can be made up as twin beds, if preferred. Both are served by a large, smart modern shower room. Outside to the front of the cottage a landscaped, fully enclosed and private south facing cottage garden is a lovely option for somewhere quiet to sit and relax, or enjoy dining al fresco, on a warm, sunny day.
Tucked away on a quiet village road, where roadside parking is easily found, this pretty cottage is ideal if you are looking for a peaceful rural break. It's an attractive option for a couple or two, friends or a small family. Helhoughton is a charming village made up of flint cottages surrounded by beautiful countryside. Just south west of the market town of Fakenham, where you will find excellent local amenities, a renowned weekly market and a popular National Hunt Racecourse, and fifteen to twenty minute drive from the popular coastal resort of Wells-next-the-Sea. It's a super base for exploring this beautiful area of North Norfolk, perfect for walking and cycling as well as visiting local attractions such as Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, Sculthorpe Hawk & Owl Trust and Houghton Hall with its celebrated annual sculpture exhibitions by prominent artists.
Additional Information: Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Hypoallergenic duvets and pillows. Please bring your own original size pods for the Nespresso Pixie coffee machine. Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the cot. Please note; Typical to a Norfolk Cottage, the stairs are steep (but straight!).
