Docking, Norfolk

8

The Old School House, located in the charming village of Docking in the East of England, is a beautifully converted property that can accommodate up to eight guests. This delightful cottage, just a short drive from the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, combines contemporary design with preserved original features from its school days, such as the striking red arched front door and tiled hallway floors. Surrounded by a fully enclosed garden, it is an ideal retreat for families and pet owners alike, providing a safe space for children and dogs to play.

Inside, the cottage boasts a spacious ground floor that includes two inviting sitting rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a bright garden/dining room. The kitchen features modern conveniences and a utility room with a washer/dryer, perfect for storing outdoor gear and providing a cozy spot for pets after a day out. The sleeping arrangements consist of four bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom, a king-size bed, and a walk-in shower. The family bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a deep free-standing bath and a separate walk-in shower, making it easy to clean up after sandy beach outings.

For outdoor enthusiasts, The Old School House offers excellent walking opportunities right from the doorstep, with nearby Barrow Common at Brancaster Staithe being particularly noteworthy. The area is also traversed by Cycle Route No.1, allowing guests to explore the picturesque lanes adorned with poppies and wildflowers in summer, while winter brings stunning views of migrating geese. The surrounding landscape is ideal for both leisurely walks and invigorating bike rides, ensuring that visitors can fully appreciate the natural beauty of Norfolk.

Positioned centrally in Docking, the property provides a perfect base for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Despite its central location, the detached house maintains a sense of privacy and tranquility. Guests can easily access the stunning sandy beaches at Old Hunstanton, Brancaster, Holkham, and Wells-next-the-Sea, all within a short car ride. Additionally, the Georgian village of Burnham Market, known for its independent shops, is just ten minutes away. The Old School House welcomes up to four well-behaved dogs for a small additional charge, and off-road parking for four cars is available on the shingle driveway, enhancing the convenience of this delightful holiday home.
