SITUATION

Beech Cottage sits centrally within the village of Edgefield and is perfectly located for easy access to Holt and Greshams school. The village offers a good local pub with rooms and a spa which has proven popular with guests who stay in the cottages. This is a thriving community centred around popular village hall events and there is also a particularly good garden centre in the village, along with a fine parish church. Many of the village properties are found on meandering country lanes that spread out from the centre of the village into beautiful rural countryside.

There are plenty of amenities on offer in both the nearby Georgian market town of Holt and Fakenham including schooling for all ages, medical centres, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, garages and a cinema.

Holt is renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops, as well as Bakers and Larners. Holt is also home to Gresham’s pre-prep, prep and senior schools, founded in 1555.

The town of Fakenham is transformed by its weekly market, with a farmer's market monthly and at least twelve race days a year held at Fakenham Racecourse - one of the finest national hunt racecourses in the country.

Access to the coast is eight miles to the north, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with one of the best bird reserves in Europe and a wide variety of other leisure pursuits available such as sailing, seal watching, golf and walking along the Norfolk Coast path. There are saltmarshes, long sandy beaches at low tides, creeks and the quintessential north Norfolk wide open skies.

About twenty miles to the south is the Cathedral City of Norwich which has a vibrant business community and is recognised as the regional centre for shopping, cultural and leisure facilities. There is mainline railway connection to London terminals at Liverpool Street and Kings Cross St. Pancras Eurostar International and to the north of the city, Norwich International Airport.
