2 bedroom cottage for sale

Location The village of Gresham lies amid attractive countryside in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just over 4 miles inland from both Sheringham and Cromer with their beautiful beaches and is also within easy reach of the Georgian town of Holt, the market town of Aylsham and some 25 miles from the bustling city of Norwich. The village has an established school, village hall which holds regular functions, beautiful 14th century round towered church and the remains of Gresham Castle situated on the south side of the village. Ideal for semi-rural living, Gresham is a pretty village with a vibrant community.

Lower Gresham is situated to the East of the village, closer to the village of Aylmerton which boasts a service station with shop for everyday needs, and the Roman Camp Inn.

The nearby town of Sheringham has both bus and rail links to Norwich, a thriving shopping centre and supermarket, schools for all ages, a health centre and many leisure activities including an 18 hole cliff top golf course and leisure centre. Two miles away in either direction are the National Trust estates of Sheringham Park and Felbrigg Hall offering a wealth of history and some beautiful walks.
