Property code: OC-1524

Watch the horses and donkeys in the meadow behind this converted farm building, a perfect destination for a solo escape or a couple looking for a rural getaway. It’s located in The Brecks, surrounded by beautiful countryside and within reach of lovely market towns and impressive cathedral cities.

Attractive old beams and a tiled floor give great character to this single-storey holiday home. The living space is open-plan and full of light, thanks to two sets of French doors to the garden. It encompasses a lounge area with comfortable seating, a dining area, and a galley kitchen with all the facilities you’ll need for cooking romantic suppers, or perhaps assembling delicious picnics for your days out. If you need more than an icebox, there’s a shared freezer in an outbuilding, along with a washing machine that’s all yours to use. The double bedroom has a wooden bed and pretty, traditional-style pendant light, and there’s also a lovely bathroom with a shower over the bath. The enclosed garden is huge, with masses of lawn and a large patio area for al fresco dining and a BBQ for you to grill your favourite foods - it’s worth noting that, on occasion, the Snetterton motor racing circuit can be heard from the garden.

In The Brecks you’ll find rolling farmland, open heaths and pine forests. It’s home to rare birds and much of it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The property is located on the owner's arable farm in the village of Larling, 4 miles from the famous Snetterton Circuit, a must-visit for all motor-sport enthusiasts, and within easy reach of the market towns of Attleborough (7 miles) and Wymondham (13 miles). For a day trip, the cathedral city of Norwich is 21 miles and Ely is 33 miles.

The cottage was very clean and tidy. The outside areas were really good and very tidy and also had a barbecue if you wished to use it. The addition of the wildlife was very pleasing.

A fabulous cottage for a relaxing stay. The underfloor heating in the kitchen and lounge was a wonderful treat under foot. We enjoyed watching the donkeys in the field and the wildlife. The location was great for enjoying the nearby villages and the city of Norwich.

We very much hope to return again one day and highly recommend the cottage. Hide
