POGLERS: peaceful, stylish North Norfolk hideaway

Set back from the main road and not overlooked, Poglers is one of four brick, flint and stone terraced cottages, built around 1805. It has a shared driveway with its own parking space. This newly renovated two bed cottage was previously owned by the late, great comedy writer David Croft – famous for co-creating many British comedy shows including, Are You Being Served, ‘Allo ‘Allo, Hi De Hi and the enduring classic, Dad’s Army. It's perfectly situated for exploring all North Norfolk has to offer Modern in look and comfort. Plenty of light and while minimal in style, the cottage retains a cottage feel. Skeins of geese can often be seen from the newly built rear sitting room with its domed skylight, giving masses of natural light throughout the day. The kitchen/dining room overlooks a small enclosed, south facing front garden – a sun trap between brunch and teatime. The bedrooms are light and bright but remnants of wooden beams, a vaulted ceiling and some acute angles give a sense of bygone days. As the bedrooms are on the first floor the guests must be able to climb stairs There is private parking Guests will be met on arrival and given the keys. Your hosts will be available on email or phone whenever required throughout your stay, but guests will be left to enjoy the house and explore the area themselves.
