2-Bedroom Cottage with Hot Tub in Hanworth

Enjoy a luxurious country escape at this chocolate-box, thatched cottage with undercover hot tub. Set between the vibrant market town of Aylsham and the ever-popular seaside resort of Cromer, this 18th-century, brick-and-flint cottage is a superb choice for couples, friends or small families.

Surrounded by rolling farmland and just a short drive from traditional inns and acclaimed eateries, it’s ideal for those who want to savour rural tranquillity while staying close to the coast. Inside, this two-storey cottage is brimming with period charm from low ceilings and exposed beams to a magnificent inglenook fireplace that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere all year round.

Step inside via the conservatory-style entrance and into a stylish kitchen, which has an AGA and a striking feature wall. Next door, the atmospheric lounge invites you to sink into the cosy sofa and unwind next to the wood burner, watching TV or enjoying shared moments with loved ones.

There’s a rustic dining table in here, ideal for sociable mealtimes and activity planning. Accessed via a steep cottage-style staircase from the dining area, the first floor features twin beds ideally suited for children on the landing, which adjoins the bedroom with a king-size bed.

A chic, ground-floor shower room adds a touch of modern comfort. Outside, a shingled dining area sets the scene for al-fresco meals, while a potting shed houses a private hot tub – the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Private parking is available for two cars, and the neighbouring cottage can be booked for larger groups. Spend sunny days on Cromer’s sandy beach (6 miles), strolling along the prom and historic pier or tucking into fish and chips or Cromer crab.

Sheringham (9.5 miles) offers an alternative seaside adventure and the chance to ride the Poppy Line steam train. Two National Trust properties, Felbrigg Hall and the Blickling Estate, are within 5.5 miles, along with Aylsham.
