The Wood Stack

This Grade II-listed home in Norfolk boasts views of the sea on clear days. It’s less than a twenty-minute walk to the coast, where you can follow long stretches of sandy beach along the Norfolk Coast Path or Peddars Way. After a day’s hiking the countryside, this traditional flint cottage makes for the perfect restful retreat. The home has plenty of original features, with stone walls, wooden cottage doors and exposed beams. It’s owned by an interior designer, and the grey and blue colour scheme creates a calming environment. So make a hot drink in the beamed kitchen and sink into one of the plump armchairs in front of the wood-burning stove for the ultimate night in.

Home truths:
* As this is a terraced home, the courtyard can be overlooked by the neighbours
* The bedrooms are on the first and second floors, up Norfolk winder stairs, which may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
