Briargate 38

Nestled on an exclusive development on the outskirts of a postcard-perfect Georgian market town, it would be hard to find a cosier, light-filled stylish lodge within striking distance of the glorious coastline and everything, from scenic cliff-top walks to thrilling water sports, this corner of North Norfolk has to offer. Flooded with natural sunlight, complete with a soothing colour palette that perfectly mirrors the tones of the nearby coastline, no better spot to retire to after a long day exploring is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

Follow the warmth of the enclosed gas fire to the plush sofas to unwind weary walking muscles, get creative with your delicious local produce in the stylish contemporary kitchen and dine with the whole family seated around the dining table or at the breakfast bar. Before bed, catch up with your favourite programme on the Smart TVs in each of the three beautifully presented bedrooms before retiring for a well-earned rest before tomorrow’s adventure.

Catch some stunning sunsets melting over the scenery by dining alfresco on the private patio before exploring the beautifully landscaped shared gardens around the development. Offering a historic high street like no other, home to independent shops, boutiques and award-winning restaurants housed inside practically unchanged 18th-century shop fronts, Burnham Market is a charming postcard-perfect town where you can discover everything there is to love about traditional village living.

A haven for birdwatchers, year-round this area is famous for its wildlife; the nature reserves at Titchwell, Holme and Cley-next-the-Sea can all be reached within 15 miles. Explore the fabulous North Norfolk Heritage Coast by enjoying a bucket and spade day at the sandy beaches of Holkham or Brancaster, both 5.5 miles away, or by jumping aboard a boat trip from Blakeney (14 miles) to catch glimpses of the local seal colony.
