Property code: OC-T42721

Full of charm and character, this chic, adults-only cottage is ideal for one or two couples, or two friends, offering a bathroom for each of the bedrooms, a Smart TV, a coffee machine and an off-road parking space. Relish the charms of peaceful village life, with a traditional pub, thatched church and tea rooms just metres away, or venture further and enjoy visits to historic houses or a day in the fascinating city of Norwich.

This tranquil cottage is attached to the owner’s home, but offers a high level of privacy. Thoughtfully designed throughout, it boasts beautiful original features such as exposed brickwork, planked doors and timber beams, combined with comfortable, contemporary furnishings. The open-plan living space is the perfect place to unwind, from cooking delicious meals in the sleek kitchen (which includes a coffee machine and an air fryer) to gathering round the farmhouse-style dining table, then finishing your day stretched out on the comfortable seating with the Smart TV streaming a favourite film. A king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room is also on this floor, while the second king-size bedroom occupies the first floor, alongside a bathroom with a shower over the bath. On sunny mornings, open the doors to the secluded garden – shared with the owners – and sip an energising coffee, or linger outside with a sundowner on summer evenings. Private parking is provided for one car.

Located in Old Buckenham, the cottage is just 50 metres from the village pub. Explore further to find one of the largest village greens in the country, a bookshop, a thatched church and a tower windmill which opens occasionally for tours. The country park has walking trails and a licensed cafe. Diss and Wymondham are less than 10 miles away, with Norwich just 18 miles away.

Just returned from the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. Set in a peaceful little rural village, it was the perfect place to relax, unwind and escape from everyday life. The cottage was absolutely beautiful, full of character, spotlessly clean, wonderfully presented and incredibly comfortable.

The village and surrounding countryside were gorgeous, with beautiful scenery and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. Coming back to the cottage at the end of the day was a real treat. Charlotte and Oli were fantastic too. Welcoming, helpful and clearly passionate about making sure their guests have a great stay. We genuinely didnt want to leave and would return in a heartbeat. A little countryside gem and somewhere we would happily recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing rural getaway. Five stars! Hide
