Description    

This old Cottage forms part of a cluster of dwellings that have been formed where the town’s workhouse once stood.  Pearsons Road was formerly known as Workhouse Lane and extended south into Gravelpit Lane across what was first the MGN Railway line and is now the A148 road to Cromer.

To the west of the cottage lies the flint walled garden across which is a view of St. Andrew’s Church with the town centre beyond.  This is within level walking distance either southwards from No. 3 via Pearsons Road or northwards via Cromer Road.

Holt is a popular and vibrant little town with excellent shopping and educational facilities.  The centre, little of which predates a disastrous fire in 1708, was where Sir Thomas Gresham first founded his famous school and is designated as a Conservation Area.  This public school now also occupies most of the eastern part of the town while to the south is the country park and Holt Lowes.  To the west is the pretty Glaven Valley and the coastal strip to the north is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
