Famous for its striking village green, grand church tower and fabulous free house, Great Massingham is one of Norfolk’s most coveted locations. Book a break at this traditionally built cottage and you’re within half a mile’s walk of all the village amenities, while many of the county’s other tourist hotspots are just a short drive from the doorstep. Stately homes in the area include Sandringham (13 miles) and Houghton Hall (9 miles), while the famous priory ruins of Castle Acre are even closer (4.5 miles). Wildlife watchers are equally well placed, with the Pensthorpe nature reserve 14 miles away, and the RSPB reserve at Snettisham within 19 miles. For old-fashioned seaside fun, Hunstanton is just 22 miles away, while sailing favourites Brancaster and Burnham Overy Staithe are within 20 miles. Refuel after all that sightseeing with stops in Burnham Market (18 miles) and Fakenham (7 miles).
With fertile farmland front and rear, this beautiful abode beautifully showcases Norfolk country life. Park and step through the front door straight into a welcoming living room with an exposed brick fireplace and inviting selection of soft seating. Unwind with your favourite programmes streamed on the Smart TV – the wood burner will add ambience after dark. Beyond, the snug features a second sofa as well as another Smart TV and dining suite. This space extends effortlessly into a high-end kitchen that’s full of light and has patio doors opening onto the rear garden. A shower room off the snug adds convenience at ground-floor level. You’ll find a separate cloakroom on the first floor, alongside two slumber-inducing bedrooms – one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds.
A generously sized garden – fully enclosed for pet owners’ peace of mind – stretches out from the rear of the property. Fire up the BBQ and dine on the patio, let canine companions play on the lawn, and lay back on a sun lounger on the raised shingle area to enjoy far-reaching field views. If you’re bringing bicycles on holiday, there’s secure storage, and you can keep pets clean with the dog-washing device that’s also available for your use.
