Pear Tree Cottage - Thursford

About this property

Embracing its 250-year-old charm with sympathetically restored original features, this characterful country cottage is nestled in the idyllic village of Thursford. It is the perfect retreat for couples and families looking to uncover the breathtaking natural beauty of North Norfolk’s magnificent countryside and coastline.

An eclectic combination of charming vintage furniture and soft, cosy touches in the lounge/diner creates a soothing, homely ambience, that paired with the characterful roaring wood burner, offers a true warmth that invites you to unwind at the end of a busy day’s adventure. Gorgeous stripped-back natural wood, exposed brickwork and a quirky bread oven in the Nordic-style kitchen inspire you to get creative with your local produce, offering everything you need to whip up hearty feasts and perfect picnics. Upstairs is a haven of serenity, with a double and twin bedroom that features characterful original beams, and a wonderfully cosy corner on the landing for curling up with a good book. Outside, children will have a ball letting off steam in the rear lawned garden whilst the front garden is the perfect spot to bask in the midday sunshine and dine alfresco to the sound of birdsong.

The peaceful rural village of Thursford is perfectly placed to explore the National Cycle Network, the charming boutiques at Fakenham 7 miles away, the largest market town in Norfolk, and the quaint Georgian architecture at Holt 8 miles away. Enjoy a sun-dappled stroll through Thursford Wood 2.5 miles away or head to the eclectic Thursford Collection less than half a mile away, a working museum showcasing mechanical organs, Wurlitzer shows, silent movies, old-fashioned fairground carousels and displays of fairground engines. Lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoy the glorious sandy beach or crabbing from the picturesque harbour at Wells-next-the-Sea, 9.5 miles away.
