The second floor provides a superb private principal bedroom suite, occupying the entirety of the level. With Velux windows, two rear-facing Velux windows and useful eaves storage.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area immediately adjoining the property, providing an attractive space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Hempstead
Hempstead is a particularly attractive rural village set within the rolling countryside of North Norfolk, approximately three miles south-west of Holt.

The village benefits from a strong community atmosphere, with Hempstead Village Hall providing a venue for local groups and activities. The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of opportunities for walking and cycling, whilst the village's position provides easy access to some of North Norfolk's most attractive landscapes and the coast beyond.
For day-to-day amenities, the nearby town of Holt provides an excellent range of facilities, with Hempstead's rural setting complemented by the convenience of having a thriving market town close at hand. The coast at Blakeney, Cley-next-the-Sea and the wider North Norfolk coastline is also within easy reach.

Holt
Holt is one of North Norfolk's most desirable market towns and provides an excellent choice of independent shops, galleries, antique shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services. The town's historic Georgian character gives it a distinctive identity, whilst its position makes it an important gateway to the North Norfolk coast. North Norfolk District Council describes Holt as a historic market town with a vibrant town centre set within a rural landscape.
The town also benefits from a range of community and leisure facilities, while Holt Country Park sits on the edge of the town and offers waymarked trails, woodland walks, a picnic area, children's play facilities, a sensory garden and visitor facilities.

Holt's position also makes it particularly appealing for those wanting access to the coast and countryside, with the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and Glaven Valley both contributing to the surrounding landscape.
