Burnham Overy Town

Nestled just beyond the much-loved village of Burnham Market, Norfolk, 6 Gravel Hill is a charming mid-terrace cottage offering a delightful base from which to discover the beauty of the coast and countryside. This enchanting retreat combines traditional character with modern comforts, including off-road parking, a cosy woodburning stove and a private courtyard garden with barbecue.

On arrival, prospective tenants are welcomed by a neatly bricked façade and a gravelled front garden, where a peaceful seating area provides the perfect spot to enjoy the morning sunshine. Step inside, and tiled flooring leads you through the ground floor, setting the tone for the cottage’s warm and inviting interiors.

The well-appointed kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with wooden worktops and contemporary fittings creating a pleasant space in which to prepare delicious meals using fresh, locally sourced produce from the surrounding farm shops. With an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, everything needed for a relaxed and comfortable stay is close at hand. Just off the hallway, the ground-floor shower room adds further convenience, complete with a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and washing machine.

The dining room provides a wonderful setting for gathering together, with seating for up to eight guests offering ample space for leisurely suppers, lively conversation and planning the following day’s adventures. After a day spent exploring the Norfolk coast, retreat to the inviting sitting room, where an exposed brick fireplace and woodburning stove create a cosy focal point. Settle into the warmth with a favourite film on the television or curl up with a good book as the flames flicker gently in the background.

Upstairs, two charming bedrooms offer a restful haven at the end of the day. The double bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, while the twin room is full of character, with exposed beams and a Velux window that allows natural daylight to filter into the space. Original wooden doors throughout the cottage lend a sense of heritage and timeless charm. Completing the first floor is a second shower room, featuring a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC and illuminated mirror.

Outside, the private courtyard garden offers a delightful space in which to unwind and make the most of the surrounding scenery. Fire up the barbecue, settle into the garden seating and enjoy picturesque views across the neighbouring countryside, towards the nearby church spire and the charming silhouette of the windmill. Whether savouring a leisurely morning coffee, enjoying a relaxed alfresco meal or watching the evening sun dip below the horizon, the garden provides a lovely spot to enjoy the outdoors throughout the day.

Situated within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and just moments from the delights of Burnham Market, 6 Gravel Hill is ideally placed for discovering the region’s beautiful beaches, scenic walking routes, picturesque villages and unspoilt countryside.

BURNHAM OVERY TOWN
A small village on the North Norfolk Coast, Burnham Overy Staithe has a natural tidal harbour. It has a good gastro pub - The Hero and there are good walks across the marshes and long sandy beaches. It’s close to Burnham Market with all of its amenities.

Both Overy Town and Overy Staithe lie on the River Burn, and until the end of the Middle Ages trading ships were able to reach the village of Burnham Overy Town. Whenever a ship arrived a gong would be sounded at the top of Gong Lane in Burnham Overy Staithe, to alert the farm workers to unload the incoming goods.

Perhaps Burnham Overy’s most famous resident was Richard Woodget. He first went to sea in coasters plying the waters off the east coast of England. In 1885 he was appointed captain of the Cutty Sark. He made several record breaking journeys between the UK and Australia.

Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Nelson, is a mile to the southeast. King’s Lynn is 20 miles away with mainline access to Cambridge and London and Norwich is 30 miles away with its international gateway via Schiphol.
