Lees Yard, Holt, NR25

The Cottage

Spring Barn is a picture perfect cottage, tucked away in the very heart of the pretty Georgian market town of Holt in a quiet location on Lees Yard.  Beautifully renovated from an original barn building, the cottage makes for the perfect bolt hole in North Norfolk.  Packed with original features, this chocolate box pretty cottage boasts a private parking area, beautiful walled garden, sitting room, good sized kitchen, double bedroom and generous bathroom, this is one of the cutest cottages in Holt.

On entering the cottage through the front door into the Norfolk pamment tiled entrance hall with original beamed ceiling, the staircase leads off from the entrance hall with the sitting room to one side and the kitchen to the other.  The sitting room is well proportioned with space for living room furniture and a dining table, the window to the front and French doors flood the space with natural light and the original beam retains the old joist hooks of the original building and it's origins dating back to 1802.

The kitchen is a great size, with solid oak flooring, dual aspect windows and undercounter cupboards, with an integrated ceramic hob & double oven below, integrated dishwasher and space for an integrated washing machine, with further space for a freestanding undercounter fridge and freezer.

Heading up the beautiful hand crafted wooden staircase, to the landing, there is a workstation beneath a Velux window, with the bedroom to one side and bathroom to the other.  The double bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, dual aspect windows, clever storage shelves and a wardrobe cupboard.

The bathroom is a fantastic size, with a full size bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside

Approached from the centre of town, via Lees Yard, Spring Barn has a gravelled driveway to the front of the cottage, with parking for one vehicle.

The garden to the rear is super pretty, walled on all sides with mature planting, a lawned area, patio immediately outside the sitting room doors and garden shed.

Holiday Let Opportunity

Projected Income: £585 to £900 per week

Spring Barn has been a much loved second home for the current owner but has operated as a succesfull holiday let in previous years.  Being ideally located in the centre of town, with both parking and a pretty garden, this chocolate box cottage would undoubtedly be super popular with couples visiting the area, all year round.
