About this property
Brooke Cottage in Walsingham was voted as number one in a top 20 countdown of Cosy UK Cottages for a Winter Break by The Guardian Travel, 2022. Everything you could imagine in a traditional old Norfolk cottage, Brooke Cottage boasts many charming features, including a huge inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, pine latched doors, a brass bed and views over the village green.
Upon entering the cottage, you are welcomed into a quaint sitting/ dining area featuring original oak beams and impressive inglenook fireplace. Nestled here is a wood burning stove and two sumptuous armchairs - perfect for those chilly evenings. A charming window seat invites you to recline and read a book as you enjoy the glow of the fire. The dining area offers seating for four guests around an attractive farmhouse table. Continue through to the good-sized family room which provides further seating, including a comfortable sofa-bed, gathered around an electric wood burning style fire. Hunker down together and watch a film on the Freeview enabled television after an exciting day spent exploring the big outdoors. The traditional cottage kitchen features painted stone walls, pamment flooring and bespoke fitted units with wooden work-tops. Well-equipped and with plenty of worktop space, this is the ideal place for any enthusiastic chefs to rustle up a delicious meal made from some of the delectable local produce the area has to offer. A WC and utility room are also found on this floor. Steep Norfolk winder stairs lead up to the first floor. The stunning master bedroom with beamed apex ceiling hosts a brass king-size bed situated in front of double aspect windows viewing the village green and lane. This room is served by an en suite shower room. The second bedroom provides twin beds with views of the village green. A bathroom is also situated on this floor. Outside, to the rear of the cottage is a shared courtyard area plus a private area of enclosed lawn, though this is not fully secure for dogs. Parking is available outside the cottage on the green. Bikes can be stored in the garden shed.
The cottage is situated in a peaceful and pretty area on a quiet country lane. The River Stiffkey runs through the village. There is a ford to drive through, or an alternative route if you wish!
