Nestled in a large, fully enclosed garden, this light and airy three-bedroom property is comfort personified, enjoying a quiet location on the outskirts of the small village of Thursford, moments away from the beautiful North Norfolk coast. The rural village of Thursford is located midway between Fakenham and Holt and is only 6 miles from Wells-next-the-Sea, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over 40 miles of sandy beaches and unspoilt natural wildlife habitats for you to discover. Get back to nature and enjoy a magical walk through Thursford Wood 2 miles away, a medieval wood pasture containing some of the oldest trees in the country, plus a beautiful display of spring bluebells and summer ferns. Explore the eclectic Thursford Collection less than half a mile away, a working museum showcasing mechanical organs, Wurlitzer shows, silent movies, old-fashioned fairground carousels and displays of fairground engines and road engines.

The property welcomes you into the south-facing lounge, flooded with natural sunlight from the expanse of windows and patio doors, complete with plenty of comfortable seating, a TV and a gorgeous living flame effect gas fire. Moving through the property you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner, kitted out with everything you may need to get creative, as well as a wooden dining table perfectly positioned to maximise the views over the garden through the large set of patio doors. There is also a handy utility room housing a washing machine and freezer. Upstairs, you’re met with two bathrooms, both benefiting from a sleek contemporary design and characterful sloping ceilings with Velux windows. The charming sloping ceilings also feature in the king-size and two twin bedrooms comprising the rest of the first floor, all sharing the same simple yet comfortable design as the rest of the property.

Wrapping around the property is an expansive enclosed garden, laid with a large lawn; there is even a child’s swing perfect for keeping little ones entertained. Adjoining the property, you’ll find a south-facing covered veranda and patio, perfect for a family BBQ or a big celebration.

Lovely cottage, very spacious on the ground floor which can be fully opened up and a fabulous garden which was fully enclosed for our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property and would recommend if you enjoy peace and quiet and the sounds of the birds and wildlife.

We found Shuttleworth Lodge comfortable, clean and wonderfully warm in the early Autumn. The rural location was lovely -peaceful and with a large grassed garden which was perfect for our dog. It was a good base for exploring this part of north Norfolk.

We had a wonderful 10 nights at Shuttleworth Lodge. So very peaceful and quiet which is what we were both looking for. Everything you would need was in the lodge i.e. cutlery, cups, etc etc. Lovely welcome pack - much appreciated. So lovely on an evening to sit outside with a glass of wine and all you can hear are the birds and the woodpecker Read morehammering away. Would definitely recommend and we hope to come back again and again. Hide
