Burnham Market

Tucked away just beside the gates to Burnham Westgate Hall and with delightful views south over the village green, Ivy Cottage is a beautifully presented early Georgian home.

As you step into Ivy Cottage, you are immediately welcomed by a characterful room with thick walls, a carved beam, and an elegant stone fireplace. This cosy space is perfect for relaxing in front of the log burner after a winter walk, and the south-facing mullioned bay window ensures it is well-lit during the summer. The room also features a built-in oak cabinet dating back to the 17th century, providing a clever hiding spot for the television.

Moving to the rear of the house, you'll find a stylish kitchen dining room designed and extended by the current owners, to compliment the Georgian charm. The room boasts an elegant Jem Lake kitchen as its centerpiece, a lantern ceiling over the dining area, and bi-fold doors leading out to the garden. Notably, the unique ceiling leading up to the first floor is intricately panelled to create a curved, unfurling sail impression.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, the largest of which has three windows that look out over the green and features semi-vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The second bedroom has a double bed, and both bedrooms share a sumptuous bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle.

There are two further rooms on the ground floor; leading off the sitting room is a cosy snug that also doubles as a further bedroom on occasion, and there is a generous utility room and guest WC to the side of the kitchen.

To the rear of the property is a pretty courtyard garden that is completely private and secure. Additionally, what were originally outhouses have been converted into a very useful laundry room and storage.

It will come as no surprise that Ivy Cottage was a finalist in the Homebuilding Magazine Competition for its incredible architectural design and it is difficult to accurately describe just what a wonderful feel this cottage has inside.

Whilst it is very much in the village centre, by adjoining the rear of the hall it is incredibly private and peaceful yet The Hoste is just a stone's throw away.

BURNHAM MARKET

Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world-famous horse trials, or an afternoon browsing pretty boutiques-there are many ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel of north Norfolk.

Located near the River Burn, the village is historically linked to Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived nearby in Burnham Thorpe.

Refined elegance defines village life. Traditional homewares at Uttings, tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli, or Gurneys Fish Shop-this place savors the finer things. Dining out is a joy with award-winning Socius offering British-inspired tapas, and NoTwenty9's bar and restaurant providing a relaxed spot for summer evenings.

Fashion thrives on the Champagne coast. For chic style, head to Anna's boutique, The Hat Shop for fancy headwear, Gun Hill Clothing Company for country attire, or Joules and Jack Wills for casual wear. For culture, explore Burnham Market's art galleries-the Fairfax Gallery and Pococks the Artmonger. For self-care, well-being boutique Aura 37 offers sustainable brands. If you have little ones, visit Mable's with its pink frontage for pot painting or traditional sweets.

Burnham Market and its smaller siblings, Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy Staithe, and Burnham Thorpe, boast 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 a perfect place to discover your forever home.
