About
Steeped in history, Belfry Cottage is a rare architectural gem designed by the legendary Sir Edwin Lutyens in the late 19th century.
This enchanting two-bedroom retreat, formerly part of the prestigious Lord Battersea Estate, perfectly balances heritage charm with coastal comfort.
Inside, you’ll find a warm kitchen-dining room featuring wood floors and a classic fireplace, while large windows frame peaceful views of the village’s lush cricket green.
Outside, the easy-to-manage private gardens provide a sunny sanctuary just a short stroll from the sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic clifftops of Overstrand.
Often called the "Village of Millionaires," Overstrand is one of North Norfolk’s most desirable coastal spots, offering an idyllic lifestyle of quiet elegance.
