Located on the coast between Great Yarmouth and Cromer, Bacton is a great location for a family holiday with easy access to countless quaint villages and towns around the coast, inland and within the Norfolk Broads National Park. Bacton offers a range of amenities including a pub, cafes, shops and fish and chip shop. For a superb day out hire a boat on the lock-free waterways of the Norfolk Broads which can be accessed at Stalham (7 miles). Around the coast, you will find the towns of Cromer (11 miles) and Sheringham (16 miles) offer something for everyone from an array of shops to traditional seaside amusements. The pier at Cromer is ever-popular and the sun rises and falls over the sea here in the summer months. The historic cathedral city of Norwich is also within easy reach being just 21 miles away where again you can hire boats and explore the wonders of a place that was once the capital city.
Back at Garth Cottage and a short walk through the pleasant garden to the front door brings you to the lounge, with two comfortable sofas, an inglenook feature fireplace (not functional) beamed ceiling and the original brick floor. Of course, there is a TV, a few books but best of all, a cosy, homely feel. In the summer, you can configure the front stable door fully or half open to keep the sea air coming through. The original braced door to the kitchen would have once been the exit to the back, but now leads to the cottage-style kitchen, dining area and shower / toilet. For the chef, there’s a gas hob, electric oven, range of cookware along with a fridge/freezer and microwave. A washing machine/dryer completes the whitegoods. A dining table for four sits in the corner next to the garden door. Heading up the steep Norfolk Winder staircase over the inglenook, you’ll find the two bedrooms - a double and a twin. This top floor is the footprint of the original 16th house: there is no landing and the two bedrooms are directly adjoining. The double room at the back has a large wardrobe with hanging and drawer storage and the single has a small chest of drawers.
Stepping outside, there is an enclosed garden and small patio area which is accessed via the backdoor and offers further table seating. There is on-street parking close to the property (subject to availability).
