The striking facade of Gardener's Cottage owes much to Emily, who replicated the cathedral-like bay windows from Metton House onto the cottage, giving it a unique and beautiful appearance that offers a glimpse into Norfolk's historic past. This aesthetic transformation has rendered 'Gardeners Cottage' a truly distinctive property with a rich historical character.
Situated on the edge of a peaceful rural hamlet, this mid-19th-century brick and flint single-storey dwelling is part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, approximately two miles from the North Norfolk coast. The cottage retains its historical provenance whilst now featuring refined and elegant accommodations, thanks to a meticulously managed renovation by the current owners, preserving the cottage's unique charm and flair, blending modern comforts with historical integrity.
The location is perfect for walking, with the Weaver's Way National Trail accessible from the doorstep, and acres of parkland and footpaths at nearby Felbrigg estate. Additionally, there are easily accessible cycling, golf, and fishing opportunities. The nearby saltmarshes offer wildlife spotting, and numerous historic houses, parks, family attractions, and beautiful beaches are just a short drive away, making Gardener's Cottage a perfect base for exploring the region.
METTON Metton is a parish in the Erpingham district of Norfolk. It is situated just over 3 miles from the coastal town of Cromer and 12 miles from the historic town of Aylsham.
Cromer is a picturesque coastal town with a good selection of shops and restaurants. Dominating the views are the medieval church, which has the highest tower in Norfolk and there is a spectacular Victorian pier, at the end of which is a restaurant and a 500 seat pavilion theatre. The theatre hosts a wide variety of shows, from March to the end of December and is also home to a modern Lifeboat, which is launched from the end of the pier slipway.
Cromer is renowned for its award winning sandy beaches and its famous Cromer Crabs. Other attractions include a cinema, Amazonia Zoo and the Cromer Museum and Lifeboat Museum. The town has its own railway station with a good service to Norwich and other prime amenities including a hospital, doctors surgery, dental surgery, library and the Royal Cromer Golf Club (18 hole).
