Property code: OC-2285

An elegant Georgian country house in an attractive rural area just 7 miles from Wroxham and Hoveton, right in The Broads National Park. The dog-friendly house features spacious living areas, elegant bedrooms and 0.5 acres of grounds. It is perfect for a large family or group celebrating a special occasion, with easy access to attractions all across The Broads.

The two-storey house has a real wow factor, having lost none of its original character when being brought up to modern standards. Quirky soft furnishings dominate bright, naturally lit rooms, with plenty of social and private spaces across both floors. The hallway and boot room are lined with pamment tiles, while the cosy lounge and the long dining room offer comfortable spaces to come together throughout the day. The kitchen is a foodie’s dream, with access to two separate areas for preparing meals with local ingredients. The utility room nearby is a useful space. The four bedrooms on the first floor all have individual characters. Two of the three king-size bedrooms have en-suite facilities and the twin bedroom is a versatile option for youngsters. A spacious family bathroom stands nearby. The attractive gardens are 0.5 acres of lawns encircled by herbaceous borders and mature trees, with The Topiary Garden, an area of shingle and seating, ideal for al fresco meals.

Dilham (1 mile) is crisscrossed with footpaths and riverside trails taking in Honing and East Ruston, the most well-known being Weavers' Way (2 miles), a long-distance footpath running from Cromer to Winterton - on - Sea. The North Walsham and Dilham Canal (1.5 miles) is great for water sports, while Wroxham (6 miles) is a gateway to over 125 miles of waterways and nature trails offered by The Broads.

The property and gardens are spacious and interesting, lovely, artistic interiors. Nice touches awaited us from the owner, a generous welcome hamper and beautiful fresh flowers from the garden! A second shower would have avoided the morning queue, but lovely comfortable beds and crisp white bed linen! Great place to stay

I have had the best surprise 50th birthday break here! The girls bought me here for a relaxing stay away from the stresses of life, and it really was just what i needed. The gardens are so calming and really takes your worries away. We had a private chef come in and cook us a meal which was excellent and we must say the dining room was our favouritRead moree in the house. All the vases are such a lovely stylish touch! Keith the owner was great and very helpful with local information. I will certainly be back and bring the family. Thank you Keith and the girls for this great stay. Hide

We have really enjoyed ourselves in this huge stunning home! We felt so welcome from the moment we were given the keys and we walked in the door. Right from the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a stylish huge hall way and then into the kitchen which really is the most beautiful we have seen!! The property is so spacious and beautifuRead morel. We tried to play croquet but failed miserably, we were trying our hardest for the kids not to win.. On that note the gardens were fabulous.
