The Cottage
Lugger Cottage is a wonderful example of a traditional Norfolk cottage that has been lovingly renovated by the current owners to create a luxurious home in the heart of Burnham Market, just a few minutes walk for the village green and all that the village has to offer.
Lugger Cottage is semi-detached and is one of five picture perfect cottages making up Gents Yard, approached from the road via a gate, this private shingled yard gives access to all the cottages and their associated gardens. Lugger Cottage benefits from a walled, private courtyard garden immediately to the rear and a large enclosed garden just across the yard.
The cottage has undergone a complete renovation by the current owners and their love of the cottage and attention to detail is evident throughout, without detracting from the original character of the cottage.
You are welcomed into the cottage to the hallway that links all the ground floor rooms, with hanging space for coats. The kitchen has a wonderful Neptune fitted kitchen with white quartz worktop, integrated under counter fridge, Neff induction hob and fan assisted oven with a slide & hide door. The windows open French door style out onto the little private courtyard beyond.
Also downstairs is the family bathroom, beautifully tiled and decorated, with a bath and mains pressure shower over, WC, heated towel rail and wash hand basin.
The sitting room to the front of the cottage is a super cosy room, with ample space for a sofa and two armchairs and a dining table. The cleverly recessed wood burning stove makes the perfect focal point for winter evenings, to curl up on the sofa in front of.
Leading up from the sitting room is the traditional Norfolk Winder cottage staircase, to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is to the front of the cottage, with a cupboard for clothes storage and a wonderful high ceiling. Across the hallway, with handy storage cupboards, is the second bedroom with a window looking out over the yard and the gardens beyond.
Outside
Lugger Cottage has its own private pedestrian gate off the yard. The front door is immediately in front with a gravelled path that leads around to the rear of the cottage where you find the charming walled courtyard, complete with electric wall heater to ensure that you can stay sat out in the evening sunshine a little bit longer. The windows from the kitchen open out onto the courtyard, to make it easy to pass drinks and snacks in and out.
Just across the yard is the private garden for the cottage. With a lawned area and mature planting, this private garden has a shed and gravelled area for garden furniture, the perfect place to relax in peace and enjoy al fresco dining in the warmer months.

Whilst Lugger Cottage is currently a much loved second home and not operating as a holiday let, it has fantastic potential to generate a second income, should that be of interest.
Burnham Market continues to be a very popular village with guests and Lugger Cottage would offer luxurious accommodation, close to the centre of the village and with the added bonus of a pretty garden.

Location
Burnham Market is arguably one of the most popular, picturesque villages in North Norfolk. It is a bustling and vibrant village with a number of excellent shops, boutiques and galleries arranged around the village green. There are a number of fantastic eateries in the village including The Hoste, Socius and Number 29, alongside tea shops, deli offerings, bakery and butcher.
Whilst the village has a local community of residents and offers a doctors surgery, primary school, petrol station and convenience store, it is also a very popular holiday destination for second home owners and holiday let guests alike. It is very close to the beautiful coastline and the beaches at Brancaster, Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham.
