Hiding in the heart of the county, a mile from the village of Mattishall and 12 miles from Norwich, this charming property is an ideal base to explore Norfolk’s many bounties. Whether you kick back and relax at home or head for the reserve and dunes of Blakeney Point (30 miles) or the historic house and gardens of Blickling Hall (18 miles), all paths lead to pleasure. Maybe try the winding lanes of Norwich (12 miles), with its castle, museums, art galleries, independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Explore the many footpaths around the cottage, partake in golf in Mattishall. Dereham has a cinema, sports centre and some exceptional shops and eateries.
Up a low ramp, you’ll enter the pretty cottage and find a welcoming open-plan lounge, beneath exposed beams. Snuggle up on the sofa before the wood burner to discuss the day’s thrills and tomorrow’s plans, or settle down with a DVD, a game or jigsaw and a glass of wine . With local farm shops nearby, there will be no shortage of sumptuous local fare to cook and enjoy in the charming and spacious kitchen/diner, with its electric cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine, dining table and chairs. Unwind with a tingling shower in the fresh bathroom, with WC and woodland views. At the end of your day’s adventures, sink to a dreamy sleep in the beautiful, high-beamed double bedroom.
On balmy summer nights, open the French doors in the lounge to the private patio and furnished, fenced garden, for local al fresco delights amidst the wild wonders of nature and the whispering trees. On request, access the farm’s gorgeous 1-acre garden, with its wandering waterfowl and peafowl. Two cars can enjoy private parking.
