Cottage to rent in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

Accommodation details

Norfolk can lay claim to several wonderful seaside towns, but Wells-next-the-sea is arguably the most quintessentially English of them all. Boasting a large sandy beach backed by dunes and pines, an historic quayside and handsome Georgian buildings, this is a town where unforgettable holiday memories are made.

Throw in a miniature steam railway that trundles sedately from the town centre to the beach and you’ll see why Wells is considered one of the region’s true gems. Your spacious property is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac close to the town’s pubs, shops and restaurants, while a 30-minute walk along the coast takes you to Holkham’s breathtaking beach and nature reserve. You open the front door into a hallway where you’ll find a separate WC and a door into the roomy lounge.

Sofas, a Smart TV, iPod docking station and CD enable you to unwind here in comfort and style, with an electric, flame-effect burner providing the warmth on those cooler evenings. Through an archway is the sunny dining room with a table and seating for eight, plus another sofa and plenty of books and games for traditional entertainment.

French doors in this room open out onto the patio. The contemporary kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, with a door from here leading to a gorgeous sun room and seating to enable you to relax while looking out into the garden. The three upstairs bedrooms are bright and complemented by wooden wardrobes and cabinets: one double with built-in storage, one twin and one bunk with pull-out lower double.

The spacious bathroom features a bath, shower over the bath and WC. The enclosed rear garden comprises a paved patio area with steps up to a lawn framed by mature shrubs, a small front garden with a small area of lawn. A gravelled area at the front of the property provides off-street parking for three cars.
