Hollywell Cottage is a charming detached period cottage situated in a tucked away location right in the heart of the popular north Norfolk village of Docking.

Further benefits include UPVC double glazed windows and doors in the main and oil-fired central heating.
Outside, there is driveway parking and a beautifully landscaped garden which the cottage wraps around with a useful good sized brick built workshop/store.
