Set on the preferred coastal side of the road, Dolphin Cottage is an extremely pretty three bedroom period cottage.

There are very few properties along the coast which come close to being as pretty as this one. Unlike the more typically rough hewn brick and flint exterior of many period cottages, extra care was clearly applied when Dolphin was being built with attention to detail evident in its rounded flint work - as well as the brick bordering.

Although there is a front door, this property is naturally entered via the kitchen door where it is immediately apparent that the sublime exterior is matched by a beautiful interior. On the ground floor there is a gorgeous and very functional kitchen which leads through to the central dining area and then further onto what feels like a very generous, full width, living room across the front.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two good double rooms plus a bunk room with built-in bunk beds which children have absolutely loved sleeping in. All three share the family bathroom on the ground floor.

Whilst there is a small paved garden to the front, the real outdoor benefit of Dolphin Cottage is to the rear. Walk down the shared driveway and there is a very well-proportioned summer house with power, running water and a decked terrace with absolutely stunning coastal views out over the Staithe. Not only this, but there is also the benefit of a right of way across the garden and down directly onto the coastal path or straight into the water with your paddle board.

Dolphin Cottage has been an extremely popular and successful holiday let. Its location alone makes it an idyllic summer stay where you can focus on the water, but come the winter you can light the log burner and it is in every essence a cosy cottage. 

BRANCASTER STAITHE A small coastal village, centred around the harbour, with its thriving fishing community and ideal for the sailing enthusiast. Brancaster Staithe is located approximately halfway between Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk Coast. Connected to Burnham Deepdale, between the two villages they have a variety of shops including a supermarket/petrol station, cafe, fresh fish shop, sailing school, tourist information centre and two pubs, The Jolly Sailors, and The White Horse with its superb coastal views. Brancaster is justly famous for its mussels.

Scolt Head Island is a Nature Conservation Area, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and being only a boat trip away, depending on the tide. The island has a large breeding colony of Sandwich Terns and in winter there can be 50,000 pink-footed geese roosting on the island.

Brancaster Staithe is one of the best bird waching areas in the UK, the coastal path between Brancaster and Burnham Deepdale offers an abundance of wild life to enjoy.

There are many circular and coastal walks around the village including Barrow Common, with views over the coastline, or the Norfolk Coastal Path, which runs the length of the village, along the marshes.
