Located in the picturesque village of Binham, Norfolk, The Old Forge is a Grade II listed detached cottage that has been beautifully renovated while retaining its original charm. This former village forge has been transformed into a stylish and romantic holiday retreat, accommodating up to four guests. The cottage features an eclectic mix of furnishings that emphasize comfort and relaxation, set within a splendidly verdant garden that wraps around the rear, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a secret garden.
The interior of The Old Forge showcases a seamless blend of modern amenities and historical features. The open-plan kitchen and dining area highlight the original blacksmith's hearth, now adorned with a contemporary wood-burning stove. Guests can enjoy the opportunity to cook with local produce in the well-equipped kitchen and gather around the farmhouse table under original beams for meals filled with food, wine, and conversation. A sympathetic extension leads to a sumptuous sitting room with an open fire and French doors that open onto the garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection.
All accommodations are conveniently located on the ground floor, featuring two elegantly styled bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a contemporary four-poster king-size bed beneath a skylight, accompanied by a dressing room and an en suite bathroom with a luxurious free-standing bath. The second bedroom also offers a king-size bed and is served by a modern walk-in shower room. The extensive gardens are designed with lawned areas, box hedging, and mature fruit trees, providing a lovely space for relaxation. Additionally, practical amenities such as outside taps for rinsing muddy boots and dogs enhance the cottage's appeal.
Binham itself is a charming rural village situated within a Conservation Area, offering guests a taste of local life with a good pub, a convenient village store, and the atmospheric ruins of a Benedictine Priory, all within walking distance of The Old Forge. Just three miles from the coastal village of Stiffkey, this cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning North Norfolk countryside by foot, bicycle, or car. The property is also pet-friendly, welcoming two well-behaved dogs for an additional charge, making it a perfect getaway for those looking to enjoy both comfort and adventure.
