Holt Road, Sharrington

This charming North Norfolk cottage offers an easygoing lifestyle with all the charm of countryside living and the convenience of being just minutes from the coast and Holt’s independent shops, cafés and galleries. Brimming with character, from exposed beams to a classic brick and flint façade, it has been thoughtfully styled for comfort across three inviting storeys. The beautiful garden, with its winding paths and wildflower borders, creates a truly special outdoor space that feels both private and picturesque. Inside, cosy corners and practical touches make it equally suited for weekend escapes or longer stays. Previously a successful Airbnb, the property is ready to continue as a holiday let or become a much-loved second home.

The Location

The Ash Yard is set along Holt Road in the charming village of Sharrington, a location that balances peaceful countryside living with excellent access to North Norfolk’s most sought-after destinations.

Just a short drive to Holt, a vibrant Georgian market town with a strong sense of community and rich character, shaped in part by the prestigious Gresham’s School, which has been at the heart of the town for over 450 years. Independent shops thrive here, championed by the 'Love Holt' initiative, while events like the summer Holt Festival and the nostalgic 1940s Weekend bring the town to life. Traditional butchers and greengrocers sit alongside the iconic Bakers and Larners department store, creating a unique shopping experience.

Cafés and delis abound—Byfords, the town’s oldest house, remains a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The property market is just as varied, from elegant Georgian homes to leafy 1930s builds and stylish countryside residences. Surrounded by open green spaces like Holt Country Park and Spout Hills, and ideally placed between Norfolk’s coast and the city of Norwich, Holt continues to be one of North Norfolk’s most desirable places to live.

Beyond this, the kitchen has a crisp, modern feel—brushed chrome fixtures, tiled splashback, room for a washing machine, and all the essentials for everyday living wrapped in a compact, stylish space.

There’s also a powered shed, two further storage spaces and a gravelled driveway with space for two vehicles. Previously a successful holiday let, this home is perfectly placed for exploring Holt, Fakenham and the North Norfolk coast—ideal as a second home or investment with real lifestyle appeal.
