5 bedroom cottage for sale

Just a few moments from the village green, yet far enough away to avoid the summertime hustle and bustle, Albion House is an extremely elegant four bedroom town house.

Although there is a front door from the aptly named Front Street, Albion House is most naturally entered from the private drive off North Street which takes you to the rear of the house and the off-street parking space - and from here you can enter the house via the utility and boot room, perfect after a muddy beach walk.

The ground floor is divided between a very elegant reception room to the front with oak floor and a log burning stove with stone surround and to the rear an extremely well-proportioned kitchen and dining room with ample space for a family dining table - as well as french doors out to the garden.

In addition to the utility room there is also a large ground floor shower room and WC.

On the first floor there are two very generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the family bathroom whilst on the second floor is a further large double bedroom, along with a smaller storage room, ideal to keep extra things especially if you choose to let this as a holiday home.

Outside and to the rear is a completely enclosed and secure patio garden with an open-sided summer house which- the rain cannot spoil. Double gates open up to provide vehicle access and parking for one car.

Albion House has been a much-loved home-from-home for the current owners - as well as a successful holiday let and could easily continue as either or both. The abundance of shops, restaurants and bars which Burnham Market has to offer are all just a short walk away yet close the door and, once inside or out in that garden, you would never know you were in one of Norfolk's most popular villages.

BURNHAM MARKET
Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques – there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel in north Norfolk's glittering crown.

Located close to the mouth of the River Burn, believed to be the source of its name, the village has long been associated with naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived at nearby Burnham Thorpe.

A refined elegance permeates every aspect of village life, from the traditional homewares found at Uttings, the locals 'go-to' for household essentials, to sampling tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop – this is a place to savour the finer things. Eating out is also a joy with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights.

Fashion counts on the Champagne coast and for chic style head to Anna's boutique or 'next gen' department store Percy Langley, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills. For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries – the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's – unmissable with its pretty pink frontage – where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets.

It goes without saying that Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe and Burnham Thorpe, are home to some of the finest houses on the coast. Whether your dream is a Georgian classic, a traditional cottage or a sleek, contemporary house, this is an incredible place to discover your forever home.
