The Old Farmhouse
Snettisham , Norfolk, UK
NEWLY RENOVATED
Nestled behind village life and packed with lashings of period charm and contemporary comforts, The Old Farmhouse is the idyllic family hideaway for all those dreaming of lazy adventures and blissful relaxation. Explore a different beach every day of the week, lose yourself amongst the grandiose historic houses, make a plan to stop at every quaint little shop that grabs your eye, wander the cobbled streets of old market towns and then cosy up beneath the stars at the end of each evening.
Introduction
Perfectly placed in the heart of Snettisham, this family coastal hideaway invites you to slip into the gentle rhythm of village life. Morning coffee runs to the award winning Old Store, leisurely pub lunches at the Rose and Crown and slow wanders to the local shops are all just a short stroll from the front door, while the surrounding coastline offers endless opportunities for salty-air adventures day after day.
Inside
Soft neutral tones, heritage features and carefully chosen furnishings create a relaxed countryside atmosphere throughout, from the beautifully understated sitting room made for post supper cards and cocktails and the cosy snug for movie marathons, to the light-filled bedrooms with oversized windows, original wooden floors and luxurious touches. A sociable kitchen and dining space sets the tone for lazy starts planning the days adventures, while the elegant dining room beckons epic supper parties with all the gang gathered. Thoughtfully styled with a blend of rustic charm and contemporary comfort, every room has been designed to invite you to settle into the slower pace of Norfolk living.
Outside
With generous lawns that wrap around the property there’s plenty of space to spread out, slow down and enjoy long days outdoors together. The expansive front lawn is made for garden games, barefoot afternoons and alfresco suppers as the sun begins to dip. A charming summerhouse provides yet another spot to escape to with a good book, while the games room adds a playful touch with table football, table tennis and darts ready for a little friendly competition. There’s also ample off-road parking, making gathering everyone together wonderfully easy.
Just a few miles away, Snettisham Beach awaits with its peaceful stretch of shingle shoreline, the kind of place ideal for dog walks, skimming stones and watching the sky melt into the sea at sunset. Venture a little further along the coast and you’ll find the much-loved seaside town of Hunstanton, where sandy beaches, traditional fish and chips, family amusements and the Sea Life sanctuary make for easy days out with little ones in tow.
For those craving a quieter pace, head a little further along the coastal path to Old Hunstanton, Holme or Brancaster offering a gentler charm altogether. Think dramatic dunes and long beach grass, peaceful coastal walks and village atmospheres that feels wonderfully untouched.
There is off-road parking to the front of the property.
