Features and description
Situated on the north-eastern edge of the popular village of Hindringham in a quiet setting adjoining open countryside, this delightful brick and flint cottage offers well appointed accommodation of character in addition to charming cottage gardens, a useful outbuilding and driveway parking for a number of vehicles.
The accommodation includes entrance porch, entrance hall, cloakroom, lovely beamed living room with inglenook fireplace, country kitchen, three bedrooms and luxury bathroom. Tilly's retreat retains many original features including a bread oven to the side of the inglenook, now used for storage, pamment tiling, exposed beams and floorboards, exposed brickwork and partly vaulted ceilings but also has modern comforts in the form of oil fired radiator heating and double glazing.
Gated access from the lane leads to a driveway which provides ample parking and mature, well stocked cottage gardens with inset mature trees wrap around the cottage. There is also a substantial brick and flint log store and adjoining lean-to greenhouse/potting shed.
Hindringham is a well-regarded village in North Norfolk, set amidst attractive open countryside and known for its strong sense of community. Local amenities include a primary school, parish church and village hall, along with a community sports pavilion which runs a community ‘pub bar’ and hosts a range of local activities and events.
While the village itself offers a peaceful rural setting, a wider range of everyday facilities can be found in the nearby market towns of Fakenham and Holt including, of course, renowned schooling at Greshams. The stunning North Norfolk coastline is also within easy reach, with the beaches and coastal paths at Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Blakeney all nearby.
This attractive combination of rural surroundings, convenient access to the coast and neighbouring towns ensures Hindringham's status as a thriving and popular North Norfolk village .
