The Gatehouse - Docking

About this property

Close to the coast, this former railway cottage stands by itself in a rural area surrounded by farmed fields. The village of Docking is only 1.5 miles away whilst the famed village of Burnham Market, with its excellent restaurants and boutique shops, is 4 miles away. The villages both have traditional pubs, fish & chip shops and convenience stores. The cottage is well placed for accessing the stunning coast, the many picturesque inland villages and heritage houses. For walkers, Peddars Way lies to the west of the village and is extremely accessible. Foodies will love the many local gastro-dining options in the area. Brancaster Beach (5 miles) is popular, especially with families and dog lovers and there is an excellent golf course that sits beside the salt marshes and sea. At Old Hunstanton (8 miles), children can play in the soft sand dunes, or visit Wells-next-the-Sea (10 miles) with its picturesque harbour and Holkham Hall.

This impressive property is set over two levels and is ideal for spending some quality time together. The mix of white and soothing tones means you can start to unwind from the moment you arrive. You’re welcomed into a bright hallway that leads through to the open-plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances to test your culinary skills using delicious local ingredients. You can dine in this area or take your feast through to the conservatory where you’ll find a contemporary glass dining table to seat 6 guests. There is a wood burner in the sitting area with sofas to snuggle up on while watching the Smart TV. This property is a gorgeous year-round hideaway. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, both with double beds and use of their own bathrooms. The larger of the two bedrooms boasts patio doors to the garden and a telescope for some amazing stargazing thanks to the dark skies that this property enjoys. Upstairs you’ll find a generous king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and breath-taking countryside views.

The pretty English country garden runs around the whole house with mature plants and a large outside dining space. Relax with a drink in your hand after a long day taking in all the wonderful Norfolk sights.
