Property code: OC-1524

Situated in The Brecks, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, this charming country cottage is ideal for couples who want to explore the area’s rolling farmland, dry heathland and pine forests, whilst looking out for rare birds such as stone curlews and nightjars. For peaceful forest walks and picnics, head to the UK’s largest man-made lowland wooded area, Thetford Forest (12 miles), or for something altogether different, motor enthusiasts will love nearby Snetterton Circuit (4 miles). Delightful market towns Attleborough (7 miles) and Wymondham (12 miles) have independent shops and eateries nestled amongst their historic buildings, whilst further afield, cities Norwich (24 miles) and Ely (30 miles) are also worth a visit.

Sympathetically renovated and immersed in the tranquillity of its rural surroundings, this former farm building is now a light and airy cottage for two. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams respect the building’s heritage, but neutral tones and modern fixtures and fittings bring it right up to date. On entering, find yourself in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with somewhere to relax, cook and dine in style. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook up a hearty breakfast or evening meal, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with icebox and dishwasher. There is also exclusive use of a washing machine and shared use of a freezer in a separate outhouse. When your food is ready, head to the dining table to admire the views whilst you eat. In the evening, sink into the sofa with a good book or watch a film with a DVD player available. The double bedroom is spacious, with storage for clothes. A clean and modern en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC completes the accommodation.

The garden can be accessed via the two sets of French doors in the dining area. Here, you’ll find an enclosed patio and lawn with dining furniture and a BBQ. It’s the ideal spot for al fresco dining against the backdrop of countryside views. Clear night skies also make it perfect for stargazing on cloudless nights. There is parking for two cars at the front of the property.

We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Romulus. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable while still giving us plenty of privacy. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat to unwind, this place is perfect. Its central location also makes it a great base for exploring Norfolk. The cottage is set on a workRead moreing farm, which adds to the charm, and the garden is beautifully maintained. Were already looking forward to our next visit! Hide

The property itself was perfect; we have, on other occasions, paid more and been disappointed - not this time ! Please thank the owners for the wine and other treats they provided for us, the eggs were the best we've ever tasted, thank you so very much. We had a very much needed Christmas break.
