One of an attractive pair of cottages known as Parterre Cottages, the property takes its name from the magnificent south-facing parterre garden that extends across the front of the house. Traditionally laid out on a level area, comprising of symmetrical ornamental patterns, formed and edged by evergreen clipped hedges, the mature garden creates a striking setting for the cottage and provides a colourful and tranquil space to enjoy throughout the year.

HINDRINGHAM
Hindringham is a charming rural village, perfectly positioned near the unspoilt North Norfolk coast. At its heart stands St Martin’s Parish Church, a striking 14th-century building set behind a picturesque row of flint cottages. The village also has a welcoming community, with a village hall and a well-regarded primary school.

One of Hindringham’s most treasured landmarks is Hindringham Hall, a stunning Tudor moated manor with a distinctive brick and flint exterior. Over the past 30 years, the owners have cultivated its beautiful gardens, which open to the public from April to October. Visitors can explore the tranquil grounds, enjoy the café, and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

Nearby, the famous Thursford Collection showcases steam engines and fairground rides, best known for hosting the UK’s largest Christmas Show. The breathtaking North Norfolk coast, with its vast beaches and salt marshes, is also within easy reach.

Hindringham sits between two vibrant market towns: Fakenham, known for its National Hunt Racecourse and excellent amenities, and the elegant Georgian town of Holt. Holt is a thriving hub of independent shops, cafés, and traditional traders, including a butcher, fishmonger, and greengrocer. A local landmark, Bakers and Larners department store has been family-run since 1770, offering everything from fine foods to homewares.

With its peaceful rural charm, rich history, and easy access to both countryside and coast, Hindringham is a truly special place to call home.
