Old Mill House, an attractive detached Victorian holiday home of traditional brick and flint construction, sits right in the heart of the desirable village of Brancaster. Tucked quietly out of the way away in a secluded private location, while still having very easy access to all the local delights this village has to offer - a great pub, a village shop selling delicious local produce and, of course, it's stunning beach which it is renowned for. Extended and refurbished in 2022 to a very high standard, the house maintains some of its original character while blending harmoniously with the new extension that opens up the house to a superb, large sociable kitchen/dining/living space with a warm glow from a funky neon sign; just the place to congregate, chill out, catch up and chat after an active day out and about in this fabulous coastal area. The extremely well-equipped kitchen has all Bosch appliances, including two eye level ovens and a large American fridge/freezer which has both filtered water and an ice making machine. There's a choice of both formal and informal dining areas at either the table or a breakfast bar. Here too french doors welcome the outside in when the mood takes you. A small snug area at the far end of the room has a sofa and a Smart television built into the dresser to keep you entertained, along with games and jigsaws.

Across the entrance hallway is an elegant panelled sitting room with sumptuous corner sofa, a wood burning stove and another Smart television for when you choose to curl up and watch a film or your favourite series on catch up, and maybe a post Sunday lunch snooze! Also on this floor is a separate utility room with laundry facilities including a traditional pulley clothes airer, a wine fridge, space for a dog bed and a cloakroom. The boot room beyond is made for drying wet coats and dirty boots, and a boiler room with a clothes rail is a great location for hanging a wetsuit. Upstairs on the first floor are five inviting bedrooms to choose from, the master with super-king bed, television and steps leading down to a fabulous bathroom, a king-size room, also with an en-suite, and a super-king bed that splits to provide twin beds if preferred, a twin bedded room and, lastly, a 'cabin' room with a nautical theme and bespoke bunk beds - each room has been given their own individual personality with gorgeous fabrics, calm hues on the walls and luxurious beds with beautiful bedding to encourage a wonderful night's sleep. A separate bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the scene.

Outside the house has a spacious fully enclosed private garden with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and where dogs and children can play safely within sight. There is a sunken patio for alfresco dining sitting beneath a raised lawn. Facing south, this is a very sunny spot and perfect for soaking up the sun's rays throughout the day and early evening. An outside shower with dog bath for smaller dogs, beside the back door is just the thing for cleaning up sandy paws and little toes.

This property is available to book for a larger groups as a sleeps ten option, listed as Old Mill House.

  • Mrs B

    Excellent house for 3 generations. We had the heatwave week, 30 degs every day, and with an extra high tide meaning the beach road was closed for 4 hours every morning due to flooding, we were all able to walk to the beach for high tide swimming. The outdoor shower (hot water) meant the 4 children were able to shower straight after the beach. The garden and gated courtyard were well used. Very comfortable with everyone being able to find their own quiet space when required.

    This is our 7th visit to this part of Norfolk but finding this beautiful house has made us feel so incredibly lucky, calm and relaxed. Such a tastefully renovated old property which oozes character and is very homely - a joy to come back to after long days out. Thank you for sharing it with us and allowing our dogs, H and R, to share in the fun. We've been blessed with glorious weather but will be happy to be back here again, come rain or shine.

    Back at OMH for our third visit. We've had an amazing time. Unexpected gorgeous weather has meant we've been able to enjoy the garden and warm evenings at the house too. As soon as we arrive, we relax and feel like we are coming 'home' to our second home (we wish!). Our retriever settles so well here and we all love the outside shower after long walks on Brancaster beach. Hope to be back in October for a long weekend. Thank you Nicola (and Ed) for your generosity and sharing your home.
