For a restful Norfolk break, stay at this spacious four-bedroom home deep in the countryside. A family visit to the nearby Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse (1.5 miles) is a must – step back in time to explore rural Norfolk’s history and meet friendly farm animals (closed in winter). Visit local cafes nearby, The Old Dairy in Stanfield is just 6 miles away, selling homemade cakes, pastries, chutneys and serving breakfasts and light lunches. The lively market towns of Dereham (3 miles), Fakenham (11 miles) and Swaffham (12 miles) are fab for local shopping and dining, while children will be thanking you for weeks when you take them to ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure (12.5 miles) for a day of prehistoric fun. Fancy a trip to the stunning North Norfolk Coast? Blakeney (23 miles) is an obvious choice, home to one of Britain’s top nature reserves. Explore the 3.5-mile sand and shingle spit where terns and seals thrive. For a more secluded coastal escape, Burnham Overy Staithe (21.5 miles) offers breathtaking views and an unspoilt beach, reached via a scenic stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path. If you’re feeling more energetic, visit High Lodge, Thetford, (29 miles), with an abundance of activities. Banham Zoo is only 25 miles, and Pensthorpe, only 12 miles away, here you can explore magical gardens, and visit one of our region’s biggest and best outdoor adventure areas.

Renovated to a luxurious standard, this welcoming home blends stylish modern touches with some original features. The huge main lounge has a wood burner for keeping you toasty on chilly evenings, while a second lounge – equipped with a Smart TV and Nintendo Switch – is ideal for kids and teens to hang out. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is a real showstopper, with an elegant breakfast bar, skylights and bi-fold doors. A handy downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, four beautifully designed bedrooms await: two boast en-suite bathrooms, while a spacious family bathroom serves the others. The rear bedrooms enjoy sweeping views over the valley, where rolling hills and woodlands disappear into the distance, while the front bedrooms overlook a quiet wooded area. The master bedroom’s Juliette balcony is a true highlight, giving a front-row seat to the stunning garden and valley – hover there for long enough and you may well spot wild deer and buzzards. And if you listen closely, you might even hear the gentle chime of the church bell.

The garden provides ample space for sipping coffee and enjoying meals together. You’ll have a furnished patio area and a spacious lawn to spread out on. There is private parking for 3 or 4 cars.
