Heron Cottage (sleeps 3)

Water’s Edge offers an exceptional blend of luxury, style and unrivalled location in the heart of Blakeney — one of North Norfolk’s most coveted coastal villages. This beautifully appointed first‑floor apartment has been thoughtfully designed in soft Farrow & Ball greys and whites, combining elegant painted, glass and rattan furnishings with hand‑picked antiques to create a serene, timeless coastal sanctuary.

Set within the distinguished Guildhall building and just steps from Blakeney Quay, the apartment enjoys a truly privileged position. From the glass‑fronted balcony, guests can savour uninterrupted views across the Quay, sweeping salt marshes and out towards the iconic Blakeney Point. Both bedrooms also capture picturesque vistas over Mariner’s Hill and the coastline beyond.

An external boot room provides convenient storage for coats and walking gear, while the welcoming hallway leads into a beautifully styled west‑facing living space. Expansive French‑style sliding doors flood the room with natural light, giving access to postcard‑worthy views of the Quay, salt marshes and historic High Street. A curated mix of painted furniture, glass tables, a plush sofa and armchairs creates a bright yet intimate setting for relaxation.

The private glass balcony, furnished with a bistro table and chairs, offers an idyllic spot to unwind and enjoy the ever‑changing coastal landscape.

For entertainment, the apartment is equipped with a Sony 43” Smart TV with Netflix, a Blu‑ray player and a Ruark R4 integrated music system with CD and Bluetooth. Guests will also find a generous selection of DVDs, CDs, guidebooks, reading material and classic board games. A round dining table for four sits elegantly within the living area, complemented by full‑length curtains and sheer voiles for added privacy.

The contemporary kitchen features pale grey cabinetry, white granite worktops and high‑quality integrated appliances, including an induction hob, fan oven, combination microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and full‑height fridge freezer. Beautifully stocked with Emma Bridgewater and Burleigh Pottery crockery, glassware, cookware and serving pieces, it offers everything needed for effortless holiday dining. A Nespresso machine ensures excellent coffee at any time.

The principal bedroom enjoys far‑reaching views towards Cley‑next‑the‑Sea and features a luxurious king‑size French rattan bed, a large freestanding mirror, built‑in wardrobes and a Netflix‑enabled TV. The second king bedroom overlooks Blakeney Marshes and is furnished with a handcrafted ornate metal bed, chest of drawers and built‑in wardrobe.

Additional amenities include an iron, ironing board, clothes airer and Dyson vacuum cleaner.

The bespoke shower room is finished to a high standard, with a fully enclosed shower (rainfall overhead and handheld options), WC, fitted wash basin and generous built‑in storage. A heated towel rail adds a touch of indulgence.

Strictly no smoking or vaping.
