Once the home of the local mill owner, the cottage lies close to the River Bure and you can still see the mill itself in the village. The cottage is just metres from the pub, with a well-stocked shop and a delightful art gallery showcasing the work of local artists both nearby. With the village of Saxthorpe just over the river, Corpusty makes a lovely base for exploring Norfolk’s meandering country lanes, ideal for cycling and gentle walks. The Georgian town of Holt (6.5 miles) is known for its boutique shops, art galleries, antique dealers and some fantastic cafes and restaurants. Also nearby are Blickling Hall, Felbrigg Hall and the Bure Valley Steam Railway in Aylsham (all within 11.5 miles).
On entering this bright and welcoming 19th-century, cottage, which has been beautifully updated to provide a tranquil holiday retreat, you will find yourself in the inviting lounge/diner. Featuring a Smart TV and speaker and comfortable seating, this is a lovely space to snuggle up on a sofa in front of a toasty wood burner to watch a favourite movie or chat about the day’s activities. There’s also a selection of books to browse and games to play. The dining area to the back of the room is ideal for enjoying a romantic meal for two or for family dining which you can rustle up in the fully equipped kitchen. A pleasure to cook in, the kitchen features an electric double oven and hob, a microwave, a slimline dishwasher, a fridge and a larder cupboard with a freezer and washing machine. A steep traditional winder staircase leads up to the first floor where you will find two fresh and airy bedrooms. Both decorated in soothing pastel shades, there’s a delightful king-size room with built-in wardrobes, and a cosy single with an additional trundle bed. Rounding off the property, there’s also a refreshing family bathroom complete with a bath, shower and WC.
Stepping outside, the small and fully enclosed courtyard garden has a BBQ, table and chairs, and offers a relaxing spot for a morning coffee as you get ready for the day ahead. Roadside parking is available.
