Escape to the Norfolk countryside with friends and family in this spacious farmhouse, 4 miles from Long Stratton. The property is full of hidden gems to keep everyone entertained, including go karts, a games room, and hot tub. You’ll be perfectly placed for exploring the Southern Broads, including the attractive town of Beccles (17 miles), as well as the vibrant city of Norwich (14 miles).
The farmhouse sits at the end of a long drive, close to the owner’s home and overlooking a pretty pond. The holiday home is bursting with character, with exposed beams and brickwork, original windows, and tiled floors, and the decor and furniture reflect the period of the property. Enter the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything needed to cater for a large group and a breakfast table for informal dining. A separate dining room, with dual-aspect windows and a striking, beamed ceiling offers an alternative dining spot and has a large table to seat everyone. In the evenings, unwind in the vast lounge, where an array of comfortable seating is gathered around a TV/DVD and a cosy wood burner. Alternatively, while away the night in the games room, playing board games or enjoying a game of pool. A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four elegant, first-floor bedrooms, along with a stylish shower room. A steep, narrow staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms on the second floor, as well as a gorgeous bathroom with a roll-top bath. To the rear of the farmhouse is a large, enclosed garden with a lawn, selection of games, outdoor furniture, a picnic bench, sun loungers, BBQ, and hot tub. To the front of the property you’ll find the go karts and table tennis table. There’s also a pond here, so children must be supervised at all times.
The picturesque town of Beccles sits on the River Waveney, and is known as the southern gateway to the Broads. Here, you’ll find a fantastic array of pubs and restaurants, many boasting waterside views. There are some beautiful walks in and around the town, following the river or winding through the peaceful haven of Beccles Marsh. The medieval city of Norwich makes a lovely day out. Wander through its cobbled streets, admiring the historic buildings and perusing the independent boutiques and galleries. You’ll also be within touring distance of the seaside resorts of Lowestoft and Southwold (both within 30 miles).
