About this property
With no house closer to Brancaster beach, offering stunning views over the salt-marshes that precede it, the sea tantalisingly within reach just beyond, Saltingsgarth in Brancaster occupies one of the most sought-after locations on the entire North Norfolk coast. Where else can you head out of the door on a short stroll straight onto Brancaster beach?
The ground floor is comprised of several generous rooms, many of which offer direct access into the courtyard and garden areas that surround it. The formal living space is in the drawing room, where you will find a wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas, armchairs and even a grand piano. Adjacent to the drawing room you will find the garden room, where you can enjoy access to the lawned garden. With a sofa and a dartboard, this room provides a tranquil spot to relax and take in the special surroundings. The heart of the home lies within the fabulous open-plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting room area. Bathed in natural light from the partly glazed roof and French doors leading out to the courtyard garden, this airy space is perfect for socialising and spending quality time with loved ones. Nearby, a breakfast table seating six, and an additional sofa and chairs complete this inviting space. For relaxed evenings in, there is a cosy television room/snug adorned with a comfortable sofa, armchairs, and a television plus a gas fire.
Ascending to the first floor, guests will find a long landing leading to six beautifully presented bedrooms. Two bedrooms are en-suite, with an additional family bathroom and a further shower room. Three of the bedrooms feature super king-sized beds, two of which can be made into twin bedrooms, upon prior request. Many offer views of the surrounding coastline, allowing guests the pleasure of waking up to the sounds and the sights of the salt-marshes and the sea.
Outside, Saltingsgarth is a hidden gem situated along a quiet single track lane, accessed through a pair of high wooden gates leading to a large gravelled parking area with space for up to six cars. The extensive grounds surrounding the cottage offer various outdoor spaces to enjoy. To the east of the house, guests will find a sprawling lawned garden with a high grass bank bordering the property, providing stunning views across the salt-marshes towards the beach. A croquet set is available for guests to enjoy, and there is ample room for other outdoor activities and games. The property also boasts an attractive enclosed courtyard garden stretching from south to west. This charming space offers a sheltered spot, catching the afternoon and evening sun. Guests can relax at the outdoor table and chairs or the large outdoor sofas, providing the perfect setting for entertaining and socialising. Additionally, a gas barbecue and a "chuck wagon" that uses wood or charcoal are available for al fresco dining. For added comfort, a studio with a sofa offers a peaceful corner to unwind.

C & Family
We had such a lovely stay. Our party consisted of three generations, babies and dogs and there was still plenty of room. The house is located in a gorgeous spot, with wonderful views, fantastic walks and the beach is so close. There are also lovely places to shop and eat nearby. We were very comfy and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Thank you so much.

Stunning house in a beautiful location. We had three generations of family and our dog, and the house worked perfectly for us. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen was very well equipped for cooking for 10 of us, and it’s a really lovely walk to the beach from the house. The wildlife you see in the garden is incredible, and to hear the owl and the cuckoo so close was fantastic! The sunny courtyard was where we spent most of our evenings as we were blessed with fabulous weather, and there was ample seating for us all to be comfortable out there. Thank you for a wonderful stay that has given us some very special family memories.

Spacious house for family gathering for special occasions. We had an excellent stay over Christmas with plenty of room for 9 adults and 2 children and 2 dogs. Incredible kitchen and open plan dining & sitting area very well-equipped. Particularly enjoyed the sitting room with wood burning fire with plenty of wood provided. Nice snug for children to watch tv. Experience couldn't have been better.
