Oh, Happy Day Cromer, Norfolk

Property Description

This quirky converted church makes for an ideal creative countryside retreat. The open-plan downstairs, where the pews used to be, has been given over to create a vast double-height space with one double bedroom leading off it and a single and master bedroom found upstairs. The building was originally constructed as a Methodist chapel, and it retains some of that spiritual atmosphere, with a piano, drum kit and guitar – plus a fully equipped kitchen – at hand for whenever musical or culinary inspiration strikes. Located in the village of Briston and just fifteen minutes from the coast, it's a great base to explore the natural beauty of the area and charming towns like Holt and Cromer. The butcher, baker and greengrocer (no candlestick maker, unfortunately), plus a Co-op, are only around a hundred metres away. At the same time, the local pub serves good food and is only a short walk away. If you'd like to see how the other half live, there are many stately homes and gardens to visit nearby, including Sandringham, the Blickling Estate and Holkham Hall, all within a thirty-five-minute drive.


Home truths:
* There's no TV in the home
* Dog owners take note, the garden is lovely, but it's not dog-proof
* Your furry friends are restricted to the downstairs kitchen and living room – please don't let them up on the grey fabric sofas
* We'd recommend a car to explore the area – there's a single parking space directly outside the front door, as well as on-street parking
* The property is still a work in progress, there are some unfinished walls that still need decorating, and some building materials stored outside down the side of the house
* Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available upon request
* Self check-in on arrival with the lockbox
