Marram Cottage

An original fisherman’s cottage in Brancaster Staithe, Marram Cottage has been sympathetically renovated to retain its cosy charm but provide all the modern conveniences a family needs. These fisherman’s cottages were the lifeblood of the community for centuries. The last fisherman to own the cottage was John Ullet, who gave the cottage its unique carved (feature) fireplace with fish motifs.

Charming and quaint, this cottage exudes historic coastal charm with welcoming modern day comforts. The sitting room features a cosy open fire that adds extra warmth and ambient light on chillier evenings - perfect for hunkering down with a film, board game or good book. Leading through in to the dining area, the pine dining table makes the ideal setting for grazing breakfasts or evening meals spent sharing in delicious food and good conversation. From here, natural light from the lantern roof floods the well-equipped kitchen. With french doors leading out to the courtyard garden, this area has a lovely open feel. A ground floor bathroom featuring bath with shower over completes this floor. Upstairs two inviting bedrooms are presented. The master bedroom hosts a double bedroom and has the added convenience of an en-suite bathroom. Twin beds are offered in bedroom two.

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a fully enclosed courtyard garden styled with shrubs and potted plants. This lovely suntrap offers garden furniture, meaning dining al fresco from the barbecue is must when the sun shines.

Brancaster Stores and Post Office houses a brilliant deli and coffee shop, as well as stocking plenty of every day goods. Brancaster Village Hall hosts Bar 71 where good times, drinks, friends and fun are served. It is the social heart of Brancaster village offering a licensed, family friendly bar with the cheapest drinks along the coast, and a calendar of monthly events including live music, discos, quiz nights, bingo, skittles and poker tournaments. Adjacent is five acres of playing fields, including two full size goals, a children’s playground along with equipment designed to help coordination and balance, and a family area with picnic tables. There are also new tennis courts. Brancaster offers something for everyone!
