Old Mill House, an attractive detached Victorian holiday home of traditional brick and flint construction, sits right in the heart of the desirable village of Brancaster. Tucked quietly out of the way away in a secluded private location, while still having very easy access to all the local delights this village has to offer - a great pub, a village shop selling delicious local produce and, of course, it's stunning beach which it is renowned for. Extended and refurbished in 2022 to a very high standard, the house maintains some of its original character while blending harmoniously with the new extension that opens up the house to a superb, large sociable kitchen/dining/living space with a warm glow from a funky neon sign; just the place to congregate, chill-out, catch up and chat after an active day out and about in this fabulous coastal area. The extremely well-equipped kitchen has all Bosch appliances, including two eye level ovens, and a large American fridge/freezer which has both filtered water and an ice making machine. There's a choice of both formal and informal dining areas at either the table or a breakfast bar. Here too, french doors welcome the outside in, when the mood takes you. A small snug area at the far end of the room has a sofa, and a Smart television built into the dresser to keep you entertained, along with games and jigsaws.
Across the entrance hallway, is an elegant panelled sitting room with sumptuous corner sofa, a wood burning stove and another Smart television for when you choose to curl up and watch a film or your favourite series on catch up, and maybe a post Sunday lunch snooze! Also on this floor is a separate utility room with laundry facilities including a traditional pulley clothes airer, a wine fridge, space for a dog bed and a cloakroom. The boot room beyond is made for drying wet coats and dirty boots, and a boiler room with a clothes rail, is a great location for hanging a wet suit. Upstairs on the first floor are five inviting bedrooms to choose from, the master with super-king bed, television and steps leading down to a fabulous bathroom, a king-size room, also with an en-suite, and a super-king bed that splits to provide twin beds if preferred, a twin bedded room and, lastly, a 'cabin' room with a nautical theme and bespoke bunk beds - each room has been given their own individual personality with gorgeous fabrics, calm hues on the walls and luxurious beds with beautiful bedding to encourage a wonderful night's sleep. A separate bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the scene.
Outside the house has a spacious, fully-enclosed private garden with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and where dogs and children can play safely within sight. There is a sunken patio for alfresco dining sitting beneath a raised lawn. Facing south, this is a very sunny spot and perfect for soaking up the sun's rays throughout the day and early evening. An outside shower, with dog bath for smaller dogs, beside the back door is just the thing for cleaning up sandy paws and little toes.
Old Mill House is available to book for a larger groups as a sleeps ten option: Old Mill House.

Old Mill House provided the perfect holiday location for we 5 OAP friends. This spacious and beautifully renovated house was both luxuriously comfortable and highly practical. Super soft beds ensured an excellent night’s sleep after days spent exploring in every direction of this interesting part of Norfolk. Seals birds and wildlife for all to see! Panoramas filled with sky! Special mention must be made of the splendid boot room, drying facilities in the boiler room, and useful utility room all off a spacious rear entrance - and an outdoor sink and shower! We’ll be back! When you can tear yourself away from the coastal path, do not miss Castle Acre- a medieval village with remains of a Norman castle complete with earthworks and a priory. A hidden gem.

We had a wonderful stay at Old Mill House, which has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday, especially with a dog. The area is beautiful with great beaches (many) and many farm shops / cafes to visit. We would particularly recommend Drove Orchard for the shop and food options.
Mrs W
A beautiful house, with everything you could wish for. Safe enclosed garden for children and dogs! The outdoor dog shower was fantastic especially after a run on the beautiful beach at Brancaster. Such a lovely area we really enjoyed visiting Holkham Hall and grounds, Wells-next-the-Sea town and beach, and highly recommend a trip to see the seals at Blakeney point . Would love to return.
