For those who do wish to explore a little more of the local area the popular resort of Hunstanton is just 5-miles around the coast whilst the National Trust estate at Brancaster is located within a 10-minute drive. From the driveway area guests enter this property through the kitchen/diner which has been attractively finished with a central island and an excellent range of equipment including a Range-style oven hob microwave an American-style fridge/freezer and dishwasher whilst the washing machine and tumble dryer are kept in the utility room alongside a WC. At one end of the room next to the bay window which overlooks the garden there is a large dining table which comfortable seats twelve and is ideal for enjoying celebratory meals together. Across the hallway from the kitchen/diner there are two lounges one which has been set up as a formal sitting room and the other a more relaxed family room. The more formal lounge is an excellent space in which to simply enjoy spending time together and has an elegant bay window as well as a marble fireplace and a TV which can be enjoyed from the plush sofas. The second lounge meanwhile is a sunny dual-aspect room with a TV Blu-ray player iPod dock and an Xbox 360 games console.
