About this property
This 300 year old luxurious and stylish Grade II listed flint cottage in the coastal village of Holme-next-the-Sea is the perfect love nest for two. Piper Cottage is fabulously styled with original beams, thick stone walls and a wood burning stove. Just a short stroll to the beach and very close to the village pub, which now features a coffee shop and bakery, you can enjoy a fresh croissant to complement your morning walk.
Step inside and you're guaranteed to fall in love almost immediately. The owner, who is an interior designer, has styled the property carefully using a palette of soft greys and blues, which reflects the coastal location and little touches make this place very special whatever time of year you choose to visit. Walk into the living space and take a seat on the soft sofa or one of the easy chairs. With dining space for four, you can look forward to supper over a glass of wine or simply write postcards home. Off the sitting room you'll find a beamed kitchen with modern painted units, granite worktops and a Butlers sink which blends perfectly with the interior of the cottage. Perfectly formed and well-equipped, you'll find everything you need to cook up a treat, using locally caught seafood and shell fish and some fabulous local produce, all available locally within a five mile radius.
Climb the Norfolk winder staircase to the first floor where you’ll discover the beautiful master bedroom, hosting a stunning king-size bed with quality linens, soft feather pillows, duvets and soft furnishings. Next door you'll find a super shower room and a separate WC. Outside you have a pretty south facing paved courtyard to enjoy, with garden furniture provided so you can soak up the rays and enjoy a leisurely coffee. There is also an additional small gravelled seating, relaxing, eating area at the rear of the cottage - both outside areas are fenced and dog proof.
On a practical note there is also a spacious utility room which comes with the property which is located in an outbuilding, just a few steps from the row of cottages. Here you'll find a washing machine, Butlers sink, barbecue base and additional fridge/freezer.
Piper cottage is nestled in the heart of this quiet village, close to the recently refurbished pub, serving great food, and only a short 15 minute stroll across the golf course to the sandy beach. The pub now features a coffee shop and bakery, so indulge in fresh morning croissants. Just a short drive away there are numerous other pubs and restaurants, shops and galleries in both Thornham and Old Hunstanton and of course the whole of the coast is just waiting to be explored. If you enjoy golf, then head to the famous links course at Old Hunstanton, a five minute drive away or you can walk the course from Holme.
This property is also available as a sleeps four option with the second floor bedroom open, listed as Piper Cottage.

H & D
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Piper Cottage. It was beautifully equipped for our needs - I wanted to take lots of the house decor home with me! Fully recommend The White Horse Sunday lunch and the bakery for breakfast, and the Gin Trap in Ringsford was also excellent and you can't beat Eric's at Orchard Drove. We did lots of walking and birdwatching and recommend Titchwell, Holme Nature Reserve, Snettisham RSPB and Sculthorpe Moor. Holme beach and Old Hunstanton beaches are both beautiful and less crowded. Oh and the sunsets.... !! Thank you for our wine and our wonderful stay.

A very comfortable stay. The bakery and pub opposite was a bonus. Weather was excellent and made the most of the beaches and NT properties to recharge our batteries.

What a beautiful cottage, everything you could want. Enjoyed breakfast every day at The White Horse bakery and pre-dinner drinks in the pub. Fabulous weather too!
