Alexandra Villas are a terrace of four cottages built in 1910 from local Carrstone. Many period features are preserved including original fireplaces, floors and pantry complete with meat safe. The comforts of modern living are also provided including full gas central heating and a newly fitted kitchen and bathroom. The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly with gravelled, off road parking available to the front and access to the rear via Southgate Lane. Walks from the cottage include Snettisham Park, the old water mill and the disused King’s Lynn to Hunstanton railway line. With the beach less than two miles away, Alexandra Villa is the perfect place to spend a holiday close to the sea, whatever the weather.
