Modern Coastal Home in Thornham

Situated in the highly sought-after coastal village of Thornham, 2 Knights Cottages is an impressive modern three-storey home, offering beautifully appointed accommodation, contemporary living spaces and wonderful views across the surrounding salt marshes towards the sea. Equally suited to use as a permanent home, a coastal second home or a holiday letting opportunity, the property offers a fantastic combination of space, location and lifestyle.

The property has been finished to a particularly high standard throughout, with a thoughtfully designed layout that makes the most of both its space and coastal setting. The ground floor centres around a superb open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, creating a fantastic space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with quality units, stone work surfaces and a breakfast bar, while oak flooring and underfloor heating continue throughout much of the ground floor. Bi-fold doors open onto the south-facing courtyard garden, providing a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Arranged over the first and second floors are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom or shower room. Two of the bedrooms enjoy particularly attractive views towards the coastline, with the top-floor bedroom taking full advantage of the far-reaching outlook across the marshes and out to sea.

Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed south-facing rear courtyard garden, providing an ideal space to relax and enjoy the sunshine, together with off-road parking for two vehicles.

The location is a real highlight, with Thornham’s popular pubs, restaurants and village amenities all within walking distance. The surrounding coastline offers some of Norfolk’s finest walks, with the coastal path providing access across the salt marshes towards the beautiful sandy beaches.

Combining high-quality modern accommodation, a wonderful coastal outlook and an enviable village setting, 2 Knights Cottages offers a superb opportunity to acquire a home on the North Norfolk coast, whether as a permanent residence, a relaxing coastal escape or an investment with holiday letting potential.

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.

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. Whilst some stumble upon Thornham by accident while touring the coastline, there are many who have decided to make it a place to call home.
