Burnham Market

Located just to the south of the village hub, far enough away to avoid the holiday hustle and bustle yet close enough to be an easy walk to all the wonderful village amenities, this is an absolutely beautifully presented Victorian cottage.

Having been bought by the current owners just over six years ago as a bit of a project they have transformed what was a rather unloved property into the beautiful and tasteful cottage we see today.

On entering the house there is a small central hallway off which all the ground floor rooms lead. Immediately in front of you is the stunning Neptune kitchen which is quite simply faultless in its finish, but also incredibly well thought out and practical in its arrangement.

To the right of the hall is a very sleek, yet perfectly in keeping, bathroom and then turn left and you enter the sitting room. This is a room that immediately relaxes you, you can so easily imagine coming in from a wintery walk out to Burnham Overy Staithe then back on the coastal bus, shaking off your coats, hats and boots, then lighting the log burner, closing those shutters and cuddling up in front of a good film. This is a room that so perfectly encapsulates the very essence of a cosy country cottage.

Take that wonderful 'Norfolk Winder' up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, the larger of which has astonishingly high ceilings for a cottage of this age.

Outside there is a small and very private terrace immediately to the rear of the cottage, which is ideal for an early evening romantic sundowner when it is just the two of you. In addition you have a further garden area at the back of Gents Yard which allows for those times when you wish to have a few more friends over for a summer's evening barbecue.

Lugger Cottage has clearly been a labour of love for the current owners which is evident in their obvious attention to detail throughout. They have transformed this delightful period cottage into the tastefully respectful home we see today. Unfortunately, geographical constraints mean that it is now time for new custodians to enjoy it as much as they have. 

BURNHAM MARKET Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques - there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel in north Norfolk's glittering crown.

Located close to the mouth of the River Burn, believed to be the source of its name, the village has long been associated with naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived at nearby Burnham Thorpe.

A refined elegance permeates every aspect of village life, from the traditional homewares found at Uttings, the locals 'go-to' for household essentials, to sampling tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop - this is a place to savour the finer things. Eating out is also a joy with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights.
Fashion counts on the Champagne coast and for chic style head to Anna's boutique, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills. For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries - the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. For a spot of self-care, wellbeing boutique Aura 37 stocks a range of sustainable brands. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's - unmissable with its pretty pink frontage - where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets.

It goes without saying that Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe and Burnham Thorpe, are home to some of the finest houses on the coast. Whether your dream is a Georgian classic, a traditional cottage or a sleek, contemporary house, this is an incredible place to discover your forever home.
