This delightful cottage is set on the edge of Thornham, a tranquil coastal village a few miles to the east of Hunstanton. Nestling in the North Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is known for the salt marsh which offers fantastic opportunities for birdwatchers to spot wildfowl and birds of prey. Just a couple of miles to the east is the excellent RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh which also features a sandy beach with views across The Wash. A mile to the west is the Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Holme Dunes site, which is perfect for migrating birds, dragonflies and toads. This is an ideal area throughout the year for walkers, birdwatchers, cyclists, photographers, artists, golfers and sightseers.

On entering this delightful mid-terrace traditional carrstone property, which offers stunning views across Thornham Marsh and out to sea, you will find yourself in the snug and pretty lounge. With an open fire and Smart TV, this is an ideal space to relax in at the end of a fantastic day. Exploring further you will find a charming kitchen/diner. The lovely dining area is ideal for any meal, and the attractively designed kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The washing machine and tumble dryer are housed in the nearby utility room. The bathroom is also on the ground floor, complete with an electric shower over the bath and a WC. Heading up the steep cottage style stairs you will find three cosy bedrooms. There’s a double room which enjoys extensive views over the marsh, a twin room with an en-suite WC, and a single room which is accessed via the twin room.

Stepping outside you will find a large back garden which is mostly lawn, with garden furniture. Please note the garden is not divided from the neighbouring property. There is also a pretty front garden with a lawn and flower border which is accessed over a small wooden bridge across a dry creek. Parking is available for two cars on the edge of the road in front of the house.

Unbeatable location, on a quiet lane with nothing else between the house and the marshes. We've stayed in this row of four terraced houses several times before and we love it. As they are narrow terraced, they're good value compared with the more bijou accommodation in the area. The bathroom is downstairs but there is a toilet upstairs in what woulRead mored have previously been a cupboard! Living areas would be cramped for 5, better for 4 or ideally less. Very clean and comfy. We'll definitely return. Hide

A lovely and comfortable old fashioned cottage in a village location. We loved the sea view from bedroom and lounge. Whilst steps to the bedrooms are steep there is a downstairs bathroom. Well maintained and sunny garden ,though its shared with the neighbouring cottage. There were no neighbours in residence so we enjoyed a truly peaceful time. NewlRead morey installed electric radiators made it cosy on chilly days and there is an open fireplace that one could use too. We would happily go back . Hide

We returned to Brent Cottage for the third time. It's a wonderful situation where you can walk from the house. It's comfortable and homely in a way that is quite unusual for holiday rentals. It was very clean and if you like cooking your own food, the kitchen is well equipped in terms of crockery and pots and pans. JW

A great location and generally very acceptable. Bed linen and towels provided and of good quality. A set of sharp knives and a cork screw would be useful. Warm and comfortable, ideal for bird watching and walking.

An excellent location especially for those with a dog. Very peaceful and a beautiful enclosed rear garden. No hot water in bathroom tap but we just used the bath taps. Upstairs loo didn't flush. Kitchen equipment could do with an upgrade - new frying pans for instance and some mixing bowls would have been handy. Everything else fine. Good shower, bRead moreig fridge freezer, oven and washing machine in good working order. Perfect summer location but I suspect it would be quite cold in winter. Hide

A quiet cottage tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Pleasantly comfortable and appointed. Didn't wish for anything.
