Boat Barn Cottage

Although it is right in the heart of Blakeney, this property feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Head out on foot to explore the beauty of the area - the harbour, the marshes and Norfolk’s coastal path are all easily accessible. There is ample opportunity for birdwatching, and it’s highly advised to take a boat trip out to Blakeney Point where you’ll see some of the UK’s most famed seal colonies. For days at the beach head to sandy Wells-next-the-Sea (8 miles) and Holkham (11.5 miles). Back in Blakeney itself, you’ll find great shops, pubs and restaurants all within walking distance.

Enter the property through the entrance hall which houses a utility cupboard with a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a separate WC. From here you’ll move into the open-plan living area with lots of comfy seating, a wood burner and plenty of character in the form of original beams, exposed brick walls and unique knick-knacks. This really is the heart of the home and the perfect place for getting together with family and friends. It also connects to the garden through French doors. Leading on from the living room is the kitchen/diner with Rangemaster electric cooker, combination microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a dining table with eight chairs. Beyond this is a second sitting room with comfy seating, a Smart TV with Netflix/Amazon Prime and an HDMI cable for gaming devices. On the ground floor, you will find three bedrooms. The first bedroom has bunk beds and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a king-size bed that can be converted into two singles and has access to an en-suite shower room. The third bedroom has a super-king-size bed which can be converted into two singles and also has access to the garden through French doors. Finally, there is a family bathroom on the ground floor with a shower over the bath. Upstairs beneath low, sloping ceilings, you’ll find the master suite with a super-king-size bed, views across the marshes and an en-suite bathroom with both a bath and shower cubicle.

To the rear of the property is a generously sized, landscaped garden with steps. A large patio with table and chairs, a summerhouse and a BBQ make it the ideal spot for connecting with friends and family in the summer months. As the gates to the garden are lockable, this area provides a safe space for children to play as well as a secure place for storing bikes. Unusually for Blakeney, the property also benefits from plenty of off-street parking. There is room for two cars at the rear and there is additional parking for one car to the front of the property.
