Pretty period property in North Norfolk
This four bedroom cottage on the North Norfolk coast would make an ideal holiday home.


Situated in Burnham Overy Staithe, a small village on the North Norfolk coast, is Rahere cottage, a pretty period property with an enclosed south facing garden. Currently run as a very successful holiday let, it would also make a fantastic full time home and there is also planning permission to expand the existing 4 bedroom residence into a larger five bedroom, three/four bathroom property.
Rahere cottage has retained many of its many original features including oak panelling, open fireplaces, pamment tiled floors and floorboards. On the ground floor the accommodation comprises a sitting room with triple aspect windows, a dining room with two Georgian sash windows, an inner hall / boot room and a kitchen / breakfast room overlooking the garden. Upstairs, four good sized bedrooms can be found plus the family bathroom, which also overlooks the garden.
Outside, the gardens feature an attractive sunken paved terrace and a raised lawn with well established shrub borders and mature trees. There is also a partially covered barbeque area, perfect for summer entertaining and a shed ideal for boat storage.
Burnham Overy Staithe is a wonderful coastal village that lies on the River Burn. It has a good gastro pub - The Hero - and offers plenty of scenic walks across the marshes and long sandy beaches. It's close to Burnham Market (2 miles), a stylish village which offers a range of amenities including a number of boutique shops and art galleries.
The guide price is £599,000. For further information please contact Sowerbys on 01328 730 340.
