Located in the quiet rural village of Harpley sits this handsome four-bedroom property. Sumptuous interiors, a grand dining room, and an extensive walled garden make this the ultimate spot for a family gathering plus one dog.
A sense of grandeur sweeps through this 19th-century property and with so much space to enjoy you won’t know where to put yourself first. On the ground floor, comfortable furnishings and cheerful decor make the garden room a homely place. After a day out exploring, it’s the perfect spot for the whole family to unwind with its plump sofas, TV, and French doors that open out onto the terrace. There’s also a spacious kitchen and sociable table where everyone can gather for a casual meal. For more formal entertaining, step into the elegant dining room and enjoy a meal at the table seating eight people. Chandelier lighting, antique paintings, and an open fireplace add to the splendour here. Also on this floor is a family room with a double and a single bed and a cheerful sitting room and study, handy for guests who want to catch up on work or enjoy some quiet holiday reading. From the ground floor, stairs lead to a galleried landing and the first floor where the remaining three bedrooms are located. Featuring king-size beds the rooms are wonderfully comfortable and furnished with style and care. Two of the rooms boast en suite bathrooms and there’s also a pristine family bathroom on this floor. Outside the rear garden is a delightful space with a huge lawn and sun terrace. While the children explore the walled garden you can sit at the table and absorb the peaceful surroundings. Alternatively, head to the front garden, light the BBQ in and enjoy some alfresco dining.
Pull on walking boots and enjoy a 7.5-mile circular route from Harpley through tranquil woods and Norfolk hills and along the Peddars Way. History lovers can also explore Sandringham House (7.5 miles) or the Norman ruins of Castle Acre (7 miles). For a day at the beach, head to Brancaster Beach (13.5 miles) where you can walk your dog, swim in the sea and watch the seals in the nearby creek water.
