The Cottage

A grade II listed cottage that still works like a modern home

Norsey Cottage has stood at the end of Billericay High Street for around five hundred years. Inside, the beams, the fireplace and the low doorways are all original — but the kitchen is brand new, the wifi is fast, the beds are dressed in luxury linens and you let yourself in with a smart lock whenever you arrive.

A note on parking

The driveway is free and private, which is rare this close to the High Street — but it's a snug 15th century space. It comfortably takes a small or medium car (think Fiat 500, Mini, Golf). Guests have squeezed larger cars in, but if you're arriving in something big, there is plenty of public parking a short walk away. Just ask and we'll point you to the best option.

Good to know

  • Original beams mean some low ceilings and doorways — mind your head upstairs.
  • Check-in from 3:00pm, check-out by 11:00am.
  • A travel cot is available on request at no extra cost.
  • The garden is fully fenced, so it's safe for little ones.
  • No smoking anywhere in the cottage.
