Gallery Cottage, Wighton, Norfolk
A really super, bright brick and flint cottage in the quiet village of Wighton, enjoying wonderful long distance open rural views and within easy reach of coastal resorts and many local attractions.
Gallery Cottage is the annexe of the original village School House which became the home of the sculptor Henry Moore in the 1920's and later the renowned American painter, Alfred Cohen and his family. In 1983 The School House Art Gallery opened, which has gained a well-respected reputation for showing contemporary art of the highest quality. The adjoining annexe was totally renovated in Spring 2018 and now stands proud in its own right as a very comfortable and stylish holiday cottage with two en-suite bedrooms (double and twin), and an airy open-plan living space, with exposed original brick and flint wall, overlooking the garden and fields beyond.
With an en suite bedroom on each floor, Gallery Cottage will appeal to couples, singles and friends who enjoy their privacy and independence. It's an ideal spot for walkers, bird watchers, and indeed artists and art lovers - though they might find the temptation of an art gallery next door a bit too hard to resist! Gallery Cottage is suitable for a small family with older children.
Additional Information
Sorry, no pets.
Children over the age of eight years are welcome.
There is no starter pack (tea, coffee, sugar and milk) or welcome hamper provided at this property.

PEACEFUL HOLIDAY
Property was clean and very comfortable. Garden very peaceful, the jasmine flowers were out and the scent wonderful. We went out to many different venues but always felt that we were 'at home' when we returned. We did not use the cooker, washing machine or dishwasher but it was there if we needed it. Yes, the property was perfect for our needs and gave us more than we expected. Thank you.

A beautiful peaceful modern cottage
Gallery Cottage has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. There are two ensuite bedrooms. Both are spacious and comfy. Upstairs, is a double bed with fantastic views of rural Norfolk. Downstairs the bedroom has two single beds.
There are lots of things to do from Gallery Cottage. It’s just two miles from Wells next the Sea with individual shops as well as a Coop so shopping is easy.
We love the walking along the coast and watching the birds. Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall and Felbrigg Hall are worth visiting for a good day out.
Wighton is a charming Norfolk village and the Carpenters arms offers great food and ale.
The unique interest for our stay at Gallery Cottage was the gallery adjacent with wonderful pictures by the late Alfred Cohen as well as contemporary artists. The cottage has some of these pictures on the wall to give inspiration.
