The Old Smithy (Great Walsingham), Great Walsingham

About this property

The Old Smithy in Great Walsingham still has the original sign over the door, and whilst packed with period features it has been stylishly renovated to create a light, airy and comfortable holiday cottage for two or three guests. With a lovely open-plan living space, a large wood burning stove, two double bedrooms upstairs - both with their own bathroom - plus a ground floor shower room, it is a hideaway in which to relax, unwind and explore the North Norfolk coast.

The open-plan living space is both cosy and sociable, with defined spaces for sitting, dining and the kitchen. This charming room retains beautiful features like solid board flooring, an exposed brick wall and original Crittal windows with wooden shutters. This is a wonderful space to relax, curled up in front of the wood burning stove in the cooler months, with a book or watching the Smart television and to enjoy a tasty meal, seated at the dining table, which has been prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Off the entrance hall is a small utility room with a washing machine and dryer. On the first floor, due to the age of The Old Smithy building, the bedrooms have a rather unusual (but handy!) layout - there are two doors, one for each side of the bed! Tucked under the eaves this bed is not suitable for anyone very tall. On both sides of the bed is a dressing space with a window, so this is a lovely light room. The bathroom for this bedroom is opposite, and has a bath with hand held shower attachment. The master bedroom has a double bed and has restricted height in places. The bathroom for this bedroom is immediately adjacent, with a free-standing bath and hand held shower attachment.

Great Walsingham is a great base from which to explore the Norfolk coast and countryside. The historic village is actually smaller and quieter than neighbouring Little Walsingham, with a stream running past the village green. Within walking distance Walsingham barns has a cafe, galleries and shops. Little Walsingham is a picturesque medieval village and famous Catholic pilgrimage centre. With stunning beaches and Wells-next-the-Sea only five miles away, The Old Smithy is a great base for exploring all that North Norfolk has to offer.
