About Watermill Apartment

Located on the first floor of an old mill, Watermill Apartment boasts an atmospheric interior where high vaulted ceilings and a gallery room give a real sense of spaciousness. Finished with modern furnishings in the open plan living area, this two-bedroom apartment is ideal for those after a stylish Norfolk stay close to the coast.

Sitting just across from the mill stream and weeping willow trees, with a small patch of grass alongside where you’ll be able to picnic. Its location on the coastal road between Wells and Brancaster means you’ll be within easy reach of the North Norfolk Heritage Coast. Drive just five minutes to Holkham beach for its white sand dunes and saltmarshes.

For the nearest shops and restaurants head to the trendy village of Burnham Market, just a 20-minute walk from here. The larger seaport town of Kings Lynn, with its mix of high street stores, museums and theatres, is a 45-minute drive to the south east.
