Positioned within Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, this charming property, known as Old Posting, offers a delightful vacation experience for families and groups, accommodating up to eight guests across four bedrooms. Originally a butcher's shop and later the village post office, this Georgian/Victorian era building has been thoughtfully refurbished into a spacious coastal home. Its prime location near the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes it a favorite spot for sailors, walkers, and birdwatchers, with the staithe, coastal path, shopping facilities, tennis courts, and two excellent pubs serving local cuisine all within a five-minute walk.
The ground floor of Old Posting has been designed with an open and airy layout, featuring a contemporary fitted kitchen that seamlessly connects to the dining and sitting areas. A striking double-sided wood-burning stove serves as a focal point between these spaces, enhancing the cozy atmosphere. The living area is bright and inviting, with French doors that lead out to a south-facing patio and garden, perfect for enjoying sunny days. Additionally, a versatile ground floor en-suite bedroom can be configured as a super-king or twin, catering to various group needs. A practical 'boot room' and generous shower room provide convenience for guests returning from beach outings.
Ascending the steep, straight staircase, guests will find three more charming bedrooms on the first floor, which include two doubles and a twin, alongside two well-appointed bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. The master bedroom features a double bed, while the other rooms provide ample storage and comfort for guests. The family bathroom is equipped with a bath and handheld shower, ensuring that all needs are met for a relaxing stay. The property also boasts large, private gardens, ideal for children and pets, with access to village tennis courts at the rear, encouraging guests to enjoy outdoor activities.
Old Posting is not only a comfortable and stylish home but also offers essential amenities such as private parking for two cars and a welcoming environment for pets, with two well-behaved dogs allowed for an additional charge. Families with children are welcome, though no baby equipment is provided. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, featuring Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve and opportunities for sailing, cycling, and hiking. With its blend of historical charm and modern comforts, Old Posting promises a memorable coastal retreat for all who visit.
