Description
There is ample gravelled off street parking to the side of the cottage and so it is natural that from here you approach the house from the rear into the wonderful 'L' shaped kitchen. This is a perfect space for family suppers and with the french doors open to the patio it is light and airy in the summer. Follow the house around to the living room which is just as generously proportioned as the kitchen/dining room and, with its central log-burner, is a wonderful winter room but as it also has french doors, it also links up with that outdoor space.
Upstairs there are three good double bedrooms and these all share the family bathroom with its shower and sumptuous roll-top bath.
Outside and in addition to the plentiful off street parking there is a completely enclosed, south-facing, paved garden that backs onto and overlooks meadowland to the rear.
As you can see from the list of '50 things to do before you are 11 ¾', Langtree Cottage has been the perfect home from home for the current owners and their children to explore and enjoy all that is so very special about north Norfolk. Over the last year, the house has also been established as a very successful holiday let, and could easily continue as such.
DOCKING Docking is arguably one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea yet a comfortable breeze away from the coastal crowds in the heat of summer, and within a comfortable drive of the market towns of Fakenham and elegant Holt.
Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272ft and was once known as 'Dry Docking', because of its lack of drinking water. A well was sunk in the village in the 18th century and residents paid a farthing per bucket until a mains supply was installed in 1936. The small village played a key role in World War II when the RAF Docking airfield operated between 1940-1958, and nearby Docking Hall housed serving actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy and Warren Mitchell during this time.
Today, a strong village community exists and Docking has a thriving nursery and primary school, and the heart-warming sound of young children enjoying playtime often echoes in the surrounding streets, as it has for centuries. Well-serviced, Docking also has a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court and bowling green, along with a popular fish and chip shop and good local, The Railway Inn.
Buyers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of property including traditional, brick and flint and whitewashed cottages, classic Georgian houses and a growing range of quality new-build homes. One of the latest additions is Four Miles, so called for its short distance from the coastline at Thornham and Brancaster, which offers a range of quality cottages, barns and apartments on generous plots, sympathetically designed to fit in with their country location.
You may be inspired to try your hand at The Good Life and grow your own, but if you lack a green thumb try the weekly farmer's market at the village's Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with super-fresh produce from local smallholders and jars and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.
Offering the best of coast and country, it's easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
