Walnut Cottage
32 High Street, Wells-Next-the-Sea , Norfolk NR23 1EP

Walnut Cottage is set back from the quay in the old port of Wells in what used to be the main shopping street, back in the 18th Century. It is now a very quiet street filled with pastel coloured houses of all descriptions, each with a history of their own.
The cottage is a Georgian double fronted house with an enclosed rear garden, which is very private; rear access is gained from Green Dragon Lane.
The cottage was built in 1720 and renovations were completed in May 1998, to provide a very comfortable and attractive home. In brief, the cottage comprises of a lounge with multi-fuel burner, colour TV, DVD and music center.
The spacious kitchen has a dining area and is fitted in hand-made pine units with gas cooker, microwave and washing machine. I have installed a mains water filter system for pure water straight from the tap. A combination boiler provides instant heat and hot water as required.
There is an enclosed and carpeted spiral staircase leading to the landing. On the first floor is the large family bathroom, which has a center roll-top bath with Victorian style spray and a separate spacious power shower cubicle.
The master bedroom is also on the first floor and has a king-sized four-poster bed with Tempur + Mattress; this room is spacious and airy with two sash windows giving a view from the front of the house.
On the second floor is a twin-bedded room with a lovely view over gardens to the Buttlands, the village green, which in the 18th century housed the town band stand. It is a very pleasant area surrounded by mature trees and this is the most suitable place to park being only a few seconds from the rear of the house.
The cottage is a 5 minutes walk from the quay and a few minutes to all the local shops. Almost anything can be purchased locally and the local supermarket will still deliver your shopping free of charge. There are miles of prime sandy beaches, excellent woodland and bird-watching areas within easy access by foot or car. The nearby Holkham Hall grounds are very pleasant for a stroll, and you are never far from a friendly pub or tea stop whichever route you may take.
The cottage is fitted with traditional cast iron radiators and has beams, stripped floors in part, good fittings and furnishings and many interesting features which combine to make a very comfortable base whatever your holiday requirements.
