Surrounded by peaceful farmland and water meadows, the delightful village of Elsing makes a wonderful base for exploring the Wensum Valley and the surrounding countryside. The village is widely spread out with a number of interesting old buildings including The Mill, the moated Elsing Hall and a 14th-century church. There’s also a friendly village pub serving fine food. A beautiful area for keen walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, golfers and nature lovers, there are also plenty of quaint villages to visit including Lyng, Bintree and Reepham (all within 6.5 miles) where you will find a range of independent shops selling fantastic local produce. Local attractions include Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure, PrimEVIL, Norfolk Lakes Activity Centre and Broadland Country Park (all within 10.5 miles).

Entering this beautiful waterside property, the light, fresh and elegantly designed open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner makes a lovely space for you all to gather, relax and enjoy the views from the dual aspect windows. Featuring exposed beams in a vaulted ceiling and a feature door, the lounge is a great space to sit back and unwind. The lounge features a Smart TV, DVD, a welcoming wood burner, plenty of seating and two sets of French doors giving the room a spacious and soothing atmosphere. You can get together to enjoy all your favourite dishes around the sociable dining table, and the kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with a built-in electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. At the end of the day, head through the cottage to the three bright and airy bedrooms, each with thermostatically controlled radiators. The first is a lovely super-king-size room with views over the mill pond, and has an en-suite bathroom with a bath, hand held shower, separate shower cubicle and a WC. The second is a delightful twin room with a Smart TV and an en-suite shower room with a shower and WC. The final bedroom is a charming king-size room with a TV, which is next to a refreshing shower room complete with a shower and WC. The cottage also has a handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Going outside, the fully enclosed paved courtyard has plenty of outdoor furniture and provides a sunny spot for enjoying a morning coffee or for dining alfresco. Beyond the courtyard you will have access to the grassy area beside the mill pool which features a charming summer house for you to unwind in, complete with a BBQ and plenty of seating as you take in the views over the water. Keen anglers can fish by arrangement in the mill pool and along a nearby stretch of the river.

A beautiful single storey cottage, tastefully presented and practically laid out for self catering use.Fresh flowers,Alstroemerias,and attractive house plants in the living section was a very nice homely touch. The location beside the mill pond and river would be difficult to find as a self catering facility and is so very quiet it heightens one seRead morense of tranquility. Plenty of wildlife around with the sight of two red kites hovering 20 ft above the cottage a rare bonus.Fishing in the river and pond another bonus for the cottage.For general location it is central for the coast,Norwich,national trust properties and Sandringham.Additionally to stock up for a stay a large Tesco is available in Dereham 15 mins away.This cottage must be nearest to perfect re location ,facilities and comfort.A most enjoyable week for our holiday.

We spent the Christmas week in Mill Cottage and what a wonderful cottage in a gorgeous location. Lisa had beautifully decorated it for us and even surprised us with some gifts under the tree. The cottage was lovely and warm and so well equipped that we wanted for nothing. The cottage is within easy reach of the A47 and surrounding towns like Holt, Read moreso a good base if you want to explore. We enjoyed a nice round walk to Sparham Pools but mostly just enjoyed the peace and comfort of Mill Cottage. A real home from home. We loved it so much we've booked again. Hide
