The Gables

Located in the coastal village of Thornham, close to some of the best pubs and cafe's along the North Norfolk coast, this attractive brick and flint detached luxury self-catering holiday home with a New England feel offers plenty of privacy and space to chill-out and relax in. The Gables is the perfect hideaway for long weekend breaks with friends or family, or for longer stays throughout the year.

Step inside The Gables and you're greeted with an impressive hallway with central staircase and galleried landing, from which all the reception rooms and four beautifully-appointed en-suite bedrooms lead off.

Downstairs, there is underfloor heating and the large, sociable kitchen/breakfast/television room features a range of base and wall units and large dining table with seating for eight guests, making it a perfect room for informal dining. On sunny days throw open the french doors and let the warmth of the day in while you start the day with a hearty breakfast.

With a big sofa and arm chairs to snuggle down into, this is a great place to watch television or a film. The boot room is perfect for wiping down the dog and removing shoes and coats, whilst the utility room has washing facilities.

If you're looking for somewhere to retreat with a good book or the morning papers, then head to the delightful garden room which also boasts a chaise longue and french doors opening onto the rear garden. The formal sitting room with its fireplace with wood burning stove, is perfect to warm your cockles after a long walk, while the dining room is more suited for evening dining.

With three super king-size bedrooms and one twin bedroom, all with en-suites and flatscreen televisions and boutique hotel style linens, you are spoilt for choice on where to lay your head.

To the front of the detached property, there is a large gravel driveway and a pretty veranda. To the rear, the fully-enclosed garden is very private and great for alfresco dining or enjoying an early morning coffee. Because it is fully enclosed, children and dogs can play safely to their hearts content and the front garden can be secured too when the solid wooden gates are closed.

The Gables is very well located in this popular village; you couldn't pick a better location for a short break or longer stay, with the beach, harbour deli's, pubs and restaurants and farm shops and numerous shops all in easy walking distance.
