Seaview - Comfortable beach house on the Norfolk coast
Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, Garden
Our two-bedroomed holiday house is near the village of Bacton, on the North Norfolk coast. The house looks out towards the North Sea across a large cliff-top green, with direct access to a long sandy beach. It is part of a quiet estate of beach bungalows built in the 1930s, with A-line roofs and white weatherboard exteriors.

This is a perfect place in which to unwind! The beach is very inviting, for walking, swimming or sunbathing. It is never crowded even at the height of summer as there is no public road or car park beside it, and though there is a gas terminal further up the coast, this is unimposing, quiet and clean. The seawater is tested regularly and is of high, Blue Flag quality. There is good sea fishing, and some people swim all the year round, occasionally in the company of a visiting seal or porpoise!
Bacton is about half an hour’s drive north-east of Norwich, and it lies on the coast, approximately half way between Cromer to the north, and Great Yarmouth to the south. The village is surrounded by farmland and plenty of interesting places to visit. The nearest market town (and train station) is North Walsham.
The house itself consists of two bedrooms (one double, one with bunk beds plus optional single), sitting room (with sofas, wood-burning stove and TV/video), sunroom (with dining table and sofa), kitchen (with electric oven, microwave and washing machine), and bathroom (with electric shower, bath and WC). The sunroom opens, through French windows, onto a small paved garden, which in turn opens onto a large, communal green field with steps down to the beach. There are books, board games and radios, garden chairs and barbecue, and gas central heating when required.

Peaceful rural and coastal location for walks (the Paston Way and Weaver’s Way tracks pass close by), bike rides, bird-watching, painting, photography etc. Lovely walks along the beach and over the cliffs and fields to Mundesley (to the North), or Happisburgh (to the South).
Good summer swimming in the sea. All-year swimming at pools at Trimingham (Woodland Leisure Park) or North Walsham.
Close to the Norfolk Broads, with boat hire, nature reserves, picturesque pubs and windmills. And further up the North Norfolk coast you can take a boat trip to visit a seal colony at Blakeney.
You can explore National Trust country houses (Blickling Hall, Felbrigg Hall), the Happisburgh Lighthouse, the Victorian seaside resorts of Cromer and Sheringham, or the market towns of North Walsham, Aylsham (great auctions!), Stalham, or a little further away, Holt.
Norwich is a half-hour drive, with its historic castle, cathedral, market and its shops, restaurants and arts venues.
For children, there is Adventure Island mini-golf at Mundesley, the Pleasurewood Hills park near Great Yarmouth, the Dinosaur Park north of Norwich, The Kit Bag army surplus store in West Runton, the Shire Horse Centre at West Runton, and plenty more....
Riding, fishing, sailing, golf are all available locally. But this is also a great place to sit in the sun (or in winter, by the woodburning stove) and do nothing at all!
