The charm and affection one may feel for a Norfolk coastal village is difficult to put into words. Walking the streets you can sense a community spirit, breathe in the history of the area, and marvel at the characterful properties.

Holme-next-the-Sea offers this allure. Living in the village, you feel at home with the area – yet there are some days where the location is so wonderful that you'd be forgiven for thinking you were simply on an extended holiday. Trawl the sandy beaches and discover nearby wildlife, before retiring in the cosy and warming embrace of the nearby pub.

Within the village, the delightful chocolate-box cottage of Journeys End stands proudly. This charming home is close to the centre of Holme, but creates its own coastal haven. Whilst its name hints at the perfect home to unwind within, there is so much to unearth here.

From beamed and vaulted ceilings to a wood-burning stove, the property feels welcoming and the character is in abundance.

The cosy sitting room has the loveliness one would expect of a Norfolk cottage. Its wood-burning stove brings the room together and it is easy to imagine an evening spent here by the roaring fire.

The kitchen and dining/sun room sit alongside each other towards the rear of the home. The open-plan aspect to this space feels modern, but with the added decadence of cottage appeal. The spacious kitchen is ideal for avid cooks, whilst entertaining guests in the bright and enticing dining/sun room, bathed in natural light from the roof lantern and bi-fold doors. The garden views only add to the elegance afforded here.

A downstairs bedroom, with a large shared en-suite, is perfect for multi-generational living and showcases a particular versatility which can be hard to find in cottages.

Head upstairs and the landing guides you delicately to two separate sections. To one side of the house you find the principal bedroom, a large and spacious room with built-in wardrobes. It has its own en-suite bathroom and separate WC. The two remaining double bedrooms to the other side of the landing are well-served by the shower room.

Venture outside of the main cottage and the accommodation continues with a one bedroom annexe. Sat within the same building as the double garage, a downstairs kitchen leads upstairs to a large open-plan space, with adjoining shower room. The scope here for a potential holiday let, or separate family space, adds to the versatility of Journeys End.

The gardens are immaculately presented. The front is full of mature plants, shrubs, and trees, and sits alongside a large side driveway for further off road parking, along with the previously mentioned double garage.

To the rear, the garden is your perfect escape. The patio area is ideal for al-fresco dining, with doors opening from the dining/sun room. Blossoming plants surround the lawned garden, creating a tranquil and inviting space to enjoy with friends and family. The perfect addition to this is a strip of land to the side, which could make a perfect additional garden, a more private retreat.

Journeys End is a cottage full of surprises. The mixture of old and new blend seamlessly, with the allure of the north Norfolk coast on your doorstep.
 

HOLME-NEXT-THE-SEA A very sought after coastal village, Holme-next-the-Sea has a huge expanse of beach and marshes.

This area makes this quiet village perfect for bird-watching. It also has a very good pub, The White Horse. An ancient ring of timbers discovered on Holme beach after a very low tide is believed to be a ritual burial site dating from Druid times. The Seahenge, as it is known, has been removed for conservation and is exhibited at Lynn Museum in King's Lynn.

The village is between Old Hunstanton and Thornham on the north Norfolk coast and is a short drive to the amenities in Hunstanton.

Hunstanton was established in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a bathing resort designed in a Victorian Gothic style, the esteemed townsman wisely led the development of a railway from King's Lynn to enable day-trippers to reach the 'new town' – a canny investment as the route was later to become the most profitable in the country.

Holidaymakers still Mecca to Hunstanton, many staying at Searles Leisure Resort which opened as a caravan park in 1936. Enjoy an afternoon on the water with a boat trip on its Wash Monster, ride the carousel at the fairground or keep it traditional and feed the penny slots at the arcades. The town's Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s in honour of Lady Diana Spencer, features a year-round programme of live performances, film screenings plus a seasonal panto. Golfers of all ages can try their hand with a mini golf course and pitch and putt on the cliff-top, plus a renowned Links course in neighbouring Old Hunstanton.
