Description
Tucked away on a quiet country lane in the picturesque rural village of Gresham, Holly Cottage is a charming period semi-detached home, full of character and warmth. Lovingly maintained and used as a successful holiday let for many years, this delightful cottage offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.
The property benefits from a private driveway with space for one or two cars, and a manageable, sun-soaked garden that’s perfect for relaxing or dining al fresco. A tranquil beck meanders through the rear of the garden, adding to the idyllic countryside feel.
Inside, the cottage is well-proportioned and thoughtfully laid out. The generous kitchen/diner provides a welcoming space for family meals or entertaining, while the cosy lounge opens directly onto the garden, bringing the outdoors in. A convenient downstairs bathroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two comfortable bedrooms and an easily accessed loft room, offering flexible space ideal for storage, a study, or even a hobby room.
Holly Cottage combines period charm with everyday practicality, making it an ideal home, holiday let, or countryside escape.
GRESHAM
Tucked away in the North Norfolk countryside, Gresham is a small and charming rural village with a rich historical backdrop. Just southwest of Cromer and within easy reach of Holt and Sheringham, this peaceful spot offers a delightful base for exploring the area’s coastline and countryside - each of the nearby towns is less than seven miles away.
The village itself is home to a striking 11th-century round tower church. Its simple interior is offset by a particularly noteworthy font, mentioned in Pevsner’s architectural guide. Gresham also holds ties to two figures of national significance: it was the birthplace of Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the Royal Exchange and namesake of Gresham’s School in Holt, and once the site of a castle owned by the son of Geoffrey Chaucer. Though now in ruins, the castle features in the famous Paston Letters, offering a fascinating glimpse into Norfolk life in the 15th century.
While Gresham offers a serene, tucked-away setting, it is superbly positioned for days out. Cromer, with its award-winning beaches, traditional pier, and even a Banksy mural, is perfect for a coastal escape. Sheringham, with its motto ‘The sea enriches and the pine adorns’, is a classic seaside resort with woodland walks and steam railway charm. Meanwhile, Holt’s independent shops and regular community events bring colour and character to this Georgian market town.
Gresham is a peaceful village with stories to tell - perfect for those looking for countryside calm and easy access to the Norfolk coast.
