Escape from the everyday to this beautiful and distinctive countryside cottage in the heart of north Norfolk, which is just a short drive from the picturesque Georgian town of Holt. Chapel Cottage has the wow factor cleverly mixing traditional and contemporary styles. The original soft Norfolk red brick cottage sits alongside a chic, chestnut clad two-storey extension. One of the bedrooms is uniquely housed in its own en-suite annexe, for those who love a private bolt hole, and the garden has countryside views that will create a sense of calm to truly relax in; watch the wildlife wander through the wildflower meadow at your leisure. There is also a dedicated spot for outside dining and a barbeque for summer cooking under the stars.
Inside, an elegant, light-filled dining room can easily seat up to eight guests, and double doors lead outside, allowing a gentle breeze to flow through the property in the summer months. In the sitting room, you can appreciate the cottage’s period features, with a fabulous, exposed beam running across the ceiling and an ornamental bread oven, which is used to house board games. Get cosy on the plump sofas to warm your toes in front of the wood burner and enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV/DVD.
On the first floor, you will find a king size bed with gorgeous countryside views to wake up to, a double bed, a single bed and a family bathroom.

Hempstead is a small and pretty village just two miles from the picturesque Georgian market town of Holt. The ruins of Baconsthorpe Castle can be found in the adjoining village and you can also walk to Selbrigg Lake where the River Glaven rises. Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Holt ridge, it is an ideal place to explore and is great for cycling, walking and birdwatching. This part of Norfolk is a draw all year round for its coastal landscape, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Holt is just a short drive away and is the place to visit for unique boutique shopping, a great food hall, antique and art galleries and numerous restaurants and cafes. For railway enthusiasts why not visit the North Norfolk Railway with traditional steam engines that run along this glorious stretch of coastline.
