Nestled in the picturesque village of Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, Old Posting is a beautifully refurbished Georgian brick and flint property that offers a serene coastal escape. Originally serving as the local butcher's shop and later the post office, this charming residence has been transformed into a spacious retreat that accommodates up to eight guests. Its prime location allows visitors to enjoy a leisurely five-minute stroll to the nearby staithe, coastal path, shops, tennis courts, and two inviting pubs, making it an ideal base for exploring the stunning Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The ground floor of Old Posting is designed for comfort and style, featuring a semi-open plan layout that is both light and airy, enhanced by underfloor heating. The contemporary bespoke kitchen, equipped with a Range cooker, invites culinary creativity with an abundance of local produce readily available. Guests can gather around the farmhouse dining table, which comfortably seats eight, creating a perfect setting for shared meals and lively conversations. The living area is anchored by a double-sided wood-burning stove, providing warmth and ambiance, while French doors open to a south-facing garden patio, allowing fresh coastal breezes to flow through on warmer days. A versatile bedroom with a zip-and-link super-king bed and an en suite shower room adds convenience for guests seeking privacy or accessibility.
Ascending the wide, steep staircase to the first floor, guests will find three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each adorned in soothing muted tones and high-quality linens for a restful night’s sleep. The spacious master bedroom features an en suite shower room, while the second bedroom boasts an exposed brick wall and a double bed. The third bedroom is furnished with twin beds, making it suitable for families or groups. A well-appointed family bathroom with a bath and hand-held shower serves these rooms, ensuring ample facilities for all guests. The property’s design emphasizes comfort and relaxation, making it a welcoming retreat after a day of exploration.
Outside, the expansive private gardens offer a tranquil escape, complete with a sunken patio area ideal for al fresco dining and barbecues on sunny days. The lush lawn provides a safe play area for children and pets, while the village tennis courts are conveniently located at the rear of the garden, encouraging guests to enjoy recreational activities. Parking for two cars is available on the gravel driveway. The property welcomes two well-behaved dogs for a small additional charge, and a complimentary starter pack of essentials awaits guests upon arrival. It is important to note that there are ongoing building works at a neighboring site, but this does not detract from the overall charm and appeal of this delightful coastal retreat.
