Many hold dreams of enjoying a once in a lifetime, enchanting period cottage in idyllic countryside - seldom does such a prime opportunity present itself with little more than personal updating required. Swan Cottage is amongst the most exciting prospects to reach the market this year and is certain to capture the imagination of anyone lucky enough to experience the property in person.

Elevations of archetypal brick and flint envelope over 2,500 sq. ft. of accommodation set amongst a generous plot interspersed with mature trees, itself bordered by timeless flint walls.

The current accommodation consists of a large kitchen/dining room flanked by a striking conservatory and large formal sitting room. The cottage already boasts a big enough footprint to house a large utility, entrance hall and boot room – all essentials for enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle in the countryside.

The characterful accommodation continues upstairs with two staircases leading to a selection of bedrooms, dressings rooms and studies - whilst currently two first floor bathrooms serve the rooms.

Outside, the generous plot wraps around the property making for a delightful array of features ready for creating memories no matter the occasion and space enough to enjoy all day sunshine.

Multiple paved terraces, well-stocked flower beds and sprawling lawns are all interspersed with mature tree makes for a wonderfully private environment with dappled light gracing the wisteria around the front door.

Yet another exciting component of this home is the large, double height garage – a prime opportunity for further renovation/conversion into a sizeable office, studio or even standalone accommodation, subject to relevant planning. As it stands, however, the attractive structure makes for a wonderful space to house all the trimmings that accompany a fulfilling lifestyle by the coast and countryside. 

HOLT A strong sense of community thrives among the proud residents and local businesses of Holt, and many of the latter champion the local 'Love Holt' initiative which waves the flag for the independent shops that add vibrancy to the Georgian town centre. Throughout the year, there are plenty of local events including a summer Holt Festival and 1940s Weekend, which takes over the town and 'Poppy Line' heritage railway that runs between here and Sheringham.

With a traditional butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer, the town even has its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark which has been run by the same family since 1770.

The town and its surrounding yards house a collection of chic boutiques and luxe lifestyle stores to explore and fill your home and wardrobe with beautiful things – linger and choose your favourite locally made fragrance at Norfolk Natural Living.

Life moves at a leisurely pace in Holt, and there are plenty of places to idle over a coffee or bite to eat. Believed to be the oldest house in town, Byfords deli and café is a central landmark and fabulous place to stop and watch the world go by.
