About
Grade II listed former merchant’s house effortlessly blends period charm with thoughtful modern living.
Rich in character, the property tells a story at every turn, from its origins as a merchant’s house, to its later transformation into two fishermen’s cottages in the 18th century, and now, its current stature as a beautifully unified coastal home.
Inside, the house offers a warm and inviting layout.
The impressive sitting room is a particular highlight, centred around a striking inglenook fireplace that creates a cosy, atmospheric heart to the home.
A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings, while the well-appointed kitchen offers practicality, with easy access to the outside space.
Double French doors open onto a wonderfully private, south-facing patio, leading to beautifully landscaped gardens.
Enclosed on two sides by traditional brick and flint walls, the garden enjoys an almost walled-garden feel, an idyllic suntrap and a peaceful retreat just moments from the quay.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite, and captivating views stretch out across the quay.
In addition, Hollybank House benefits from ‘Gooseye’, a charming one-bedroom self-contained annexe.
Currently run as a successful holiday let, it provides an excellent opportunity for additional income, while also offering flexible accommodation for visiting friends and family.
Hollybank House is a rare and special offering, an atmospheric period home with a fascinating heritage, exceptional outdoor space, and an enviable position overlooking one of Norfolk’s most picturesque coastal settings.
