‘Tilly’s Retreat’ is peacefully tucked away on a quiet country lane in the charming village of Hindringham, ideally positioned just seven miles from Holt, Fakenham and Wells-next the-Sea. Accessed via a traditional five-bar gate, the property opens onto a generous driveway offering ample parking.
This semi-detached brick and flint cottage exudes character both inside and out. Currently run as a successful holiday let, it offers guests a peaceful haven to return to after a day at the beach — or simply a place to unwind in the cottage garden with a good book.
Inside, the sitting room is warm and welcoming, featuring a boarded floor, exposed beams, and a wonderful inglenook fireplace with a wood burner — a perfect space for relaxed evenings or sociable gatherings around the dining table.
Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from its own staircase leading down to the sitting room, adding a lovely sense of charm. A family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, serves all the bedrooms.
The gardens are beautifully maintained, with a mix of lawned and patio areas ideal for outdoor dining or enjoying the sunshine. A well proportioned and practical outbuilding adds further appeal.

At its heart stands St Martin’s Parish Church, a striking 14th-century building set behind a picturesque row of flint cottages. The village also has a welcoming community, with a village hall and a well-regarded primary school.
One of Hindringham’s most treasured landmarks is Hindringham Hall, a stunning Tudor moated manor with a distinctive brick and flint exterior. Over the past 30 years, the owners have cultivated its beautiful gardens, which open to the public from April to October. Visitors can explore the tranquil grounds, enjoy the café, and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
Nearby, the famous Thursford Collection showcases steam engines and fairground rides, best known for hosting the UK’s largest Christmas Show. The breathtaking North Norfolk coast, with its vast beaches and salt marshes, is also within easy reach.
Hindringham sits between two vibrant market towns: Fakenham, known for its National Hunt Racecourse and excellent amenities, and the elegant Georgian town of Holt. Holt is a thriving hub of independent shops, cafés, and traditional traders, including a butcher, fishmonger, and greengrocer. A local landmark, Bakers and Larners department store has been family-run since 1770, offering everything from fine foods to homewares.
With its peaceful rural charm, rich history, and easy access to both countryside and coast, Hindringham is a truly special place to call home.SERVICES CONNECTED Mains water, electricity and drainage.
