This delightful retreat is in the small and tranquil Norfolk village of East Somerton, which is home to the ancient ivy-clad ruins of St Mary’s Church, hidden away in a wooded grove, which you can visit as you head along the lovely circular walk to the peaceful seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea (2 miles). The village is home to a gorgeous soft sandy beach, and the Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve offers the chance to spot terns and natterjack toads, as well as the seal colony which can be found between Winterton and Horsey (3.5 miles). The nearest of the Broads, Martham Broad, is less than a mile away and is part of a network of 125 miles of waterways criss-crossing the county.
Entering this richly decorated property the spacious lounge provides a fantastic space for you all to unwind in at the end of a great day out. This sumptuous room features a high beamed ceiling with exposed brickwork and plenty of seating, making a perfect space for you all to snuggle up, watch a movie on the Smart TV or chat about the day’s events. A couple of steps lead up into the bright and stylishly designed kitchen/diner which is ideal for cooking and sharing all your favourite family dishes. Fully equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, Magimix Nespresso coffee machine and dishwasher, the kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, and you can all gather round the dining table to enjoy a home-cooked feast. There is a separate WC on the ground floor whilst the owner shared utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer is down the corridor. When it’s time for bed, there’s a pretty ground-floor king-size bedroom, decorated in light pastel tones, with an en-suite shower room complete with walk-in shower and WC. The other main bedroom can be found on the first floor: with exposed beams in the high vaulted ceiling, this atmospheric room features a cosy super-king-size bed with an additional single bed – to be booked on request. This room also has a beautiful writing desk, a wealth of books for you to browse and plenty of seating so you can curl up with a good book in the evening. The property also offers a sweet double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, which can be booked at additional cost if you just want to use the ground floor.
Stepping outside, the large garden has plenty of space for dogs to exercise and for children to run about. There’s a side patio and a choice of outdoor furniture, providing a wonderful space to sit back at the end of a wonderful day, dine alfresco as you admire the views across the surrounding fields. There’s also a handy insulated kennel should you need to leave your dog.
