Leave behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this authentic farmhouse brimming with charm and wonderful views across Hainford, the ultimate rural retreat for families or groups of friends craving an escape to the countryside. Experience everything there is to love about rural life in Hainford, from traditional village pubs to wonderful walks winding through peaceful country lanes. Known as the gateway to the Norfolk Broads, nestled on the edge of the River Bure, those who love life on the water can head to Coltishall (3.5 miles) to hire a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to explore miles of the beautiful Broads waterways. Lying in the conservation area of Blickling Hall Estate, explore the Jacobean mansion, formal gardens and acres of woodland and parkland at Blickling Estate (8 miles) or head to Sea Palling (17 miles) to enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside.
Sympathetic to the rich heritage of the farmhouse, boasting rustic country cottage decor, the spacious kitchen/diner will transport you to times past, inspiring you to get creative with fabulous local flavours; the separate dining room provides even more space to enjoy your efforts with a glass of something chilled. Featuring beautiful ceiling beams, exposed brickwork and roaring wood burners, both cosy lounges are bursting with homely ambience, setting the scene for pure relaxation at the end of a busy day’s adventure. Echoing the character of the ground floor, the five bedrooms upstairs, one en-suite king-size and four doubles (two of which have en-suite shower rooms) feature plenty of charm and wonderful views to wake up to. The family shower room and quaint bathroom – boasting a gorgeous roll-top bath and his-and-hers sinks – provide everything you need to feel refreshed from sunset to sunset.
Soak up the fresh countryside air by dining alfresco in the enclosed lawn garden, admiring the tranquillity of the surrounding 50-acre farm. Outside, you’ll find private parking for up to six cars.
