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.

Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
