Stanhoe

Peacefully situated on the village's southern edge, Vine Cottage is the perfect example of a charming period home. As the middle property in a delightful Victorian terrace of five cottages-originally built to house local farmworkers-Vine Cottage exudes character and warmth.

The sitting room at the front of the cottage is a cosy haven, featuring exposed beams and a central open fireplace-ideal for snuggling up after a bracing winter walk around the village. Moving towards the rear, you'll find a generously sized kitchen and dining area. Fitted with contemporary units and ample space for a dining table, this room seamlessly blends modern convenience with timeless charm. Beyond the kitchen is a hallway leading to the garden and a well-appointed bathroom and WC.

Unlike many cottages of its era, Vine Cottage benefits from a proper staircase rather than the traditional 'Norfolk Winder.' The first floor offers two versatile rooms. The first opens to the staircase like a mezzanine, which comfortably accommodates a double bed. This room provides access to the second bedroom, which is spacious enough for twin beds-making the layout ideal for families or guests.

The rear garden is fully enclosed and impressively long. The current owners maintain the lawned area nearest the house, but there is plenty of potential for further landscaping. At the front there is ample private space for parking two cars.

Vine Cottage has served as a welcoming home away from home and as a popular holiday let. Its unassuming charm and inviting atmosphere have made it a favourite among guests, many of whom return year after year.

STANHOE
A small rural village, Stanhoe is centred around a large duck pond. The Duck Inn, an award winning gastropub, offers the very best in locally sourced produce. The village also has a church, All Saints, one of six churches which along with the parishes of Bircham, Sedgeford and Docking make up the United Benefice of Docking. The village hall, also known as the Reading Room offers many village activities and in 2012, a village screen was setup to provide film shows inside.

Approximately 7 miles away is Brancaster, justly famous for its mussels and one of the most desirable coastal villages on the north Norfolk Coast with its heritage coastline and fine sandy beaches in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a very good public house, The Ship, and there is also a village hall with shop and club, and a primary school. The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at Brancaster with its fine links course. There are also sailing facilities at Brancaster Staithe.

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, just four miles away from Stanhoe. Eating out is a joy here 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 or 'next gen' department store Percy Langley, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills.
