Beautiful Cottage in the heart of Thornham

ROSEHIP COTTAGE

Set well back from the road, and almost providing sentinel to the three other beautiful homes that make up The Quavers, Rosehip Cottage is an absolutely stunning two double bedroom detached home that has been finished with the highest level of craftsmanship both inside and out.

Whilst there is a front door that will no doubt be used when coming or going to and from lunch or dinner at either of the two acclaimed village pubs, on a day to day basis this is a cottage that will be entered in the traditional Norfolk way, via the back door. This is because the boot room also doubles up as the utility room so it is perfect for shrugging off mud splattered clothes straight into the washing machine after a windswept winter’s walk on the beach. Not only this but, with its shower room beside it, it is also ideal for sluicing off the salty spray after returning from catching an early summer morning’s tide. Finally, it is excellent for cleaning down your four legged friend before they come through to dry off in front of the fire!

The remainder of the ground floor is open-plan and segregates neatly into a dining area at one end, the kitchen with island and breakfast bar in the middle and then the sitting room at the other with bi-folding doors straight out onto the south facing garden.

Upstairs there are two double bedroom suites that are identical in their proportions and both have luxurious shower room en-suites.

There is private off street parking to the front of the cottage as well as to the side and the south facing courtyard garden is completely enclosed and totally private. It is tiered to provide both shade and sunshine throughout the day with the raised terrace providing the ideal place for either a hot tub or your ‘sundowner’ seating area.

THORNHAM

Thornham may just be the quintessential Norfolk coastal bolthole. With plenty of brick and flint cottages and larger period homes just a short walk from the water’s edge and nature reserve, dig a little deeper and you’ll also discover it is a fantastic foodie hotspot with a clutch of award winning pubs and eateries, along with a boutique retail park. Once a largely forgotten village on the run between Hunstanton and Burnham Market, over the past decade Thornham has evolved into a chic stop.

Historically a centre of trade and seafaring, the village was used by the Romans and saw fierce conflict between smugglers over the centuries until the harbour silted up in the early 20th century. Many of the traditional fishermen’s cottages have been gentrified with a soft palette and contemporary coastal style and life now moves at a calmer pace.

Start the day with a slow brunch at Thornham Deli before picking up some nibbles at the food counter or browsing its quirky lifestyle store. Then, continue your retail therapy a little further along the coast road at Drove Orchards, which seems to have something fresh each season. Or take it easy and fill your basket at the Farm Shop – with a small meat counter, deli, bakery and pantry selection, plus a satellite of Gurneys Fish Shop next door, dinner’s sorted. Open Sky Cycles can also be found here, offering bike hire, making this a great base to leave the car and explore on two wheels.

Drove Orchards is also home to the original, award winning Eric’s Fish & Chips and Eric’s Pizza, located in a neighbouring Yurt, where traditional dishes have been given a contemporary spin. But if you are looking for good pub grub, head to The Lifeboat Inn or The Orange Tree – both located within this small but prominent village. While some stumble upon Thornham by accident while touring the coastline, there are many who have decided to make it a place to call home.
