So much about this fabulous property is unique, from the grand piano in the equally grand lounge to the bed that’s reputed to have belonged to King George III. Located close to the market town of Reepham, it’s an intriguing and exciting destination for friends, families and two canine companions wanting to holiday in style.
A tree-lined drive leads you to this Regency-era holiday apartment. Gather in the kitchen/diner, a sociable space with a sofa, vintage pinball machine, TV and unique kitchen area - it’s compact but has everything you’ll need to whip up delicious meals. For a lazy evening around the wood burner you can move into the lounge, which is adorned with gilt-framed works of art and furnished with antiques. Read a book, listen to music, or even play the gorgeous piano. On the first floor you’ll find three glorious bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms, ornamental fireplaces and TV/DVDs. One of these has the very special “King’s travelling bed” from around 1782, a carved wooden bed with imposing presence, and the other a lovely four-poster swathed with sheer fabric. The remaining bedroom has a raised-level, built-in, small double bed (one side is against the wall, so may be better for children) and a family bathroom. In terms of outside space, the enclosed garden has a large lawn and garden furniture with a BBQ, as well as a circular pond.
The house is located in the hamlet of Whitwell, just 1.5 miles from the Georgian town of Reepham, which has shops, a pub and a range of places to eat. It’s 8 miles from the start of Marriott’s Way, 26 miles of wonderful walking and cycling that stretches from Aylsham to Norwich, while the fabulous seaside resort of Sheringham is 18.5 miles.
