A beautifully finished, Norfolk country house, this exceptional cottage is simply perfect for an extended family holiday or an exciting break with friends. Sleeping ten guests and offering dog-friendly accommodation, the enticing, five-bedroom hideaway sits in gorgeous rural surroundings and gardens of 0.9 acres near Postwick, just 5.5 miles from the historic city of Norwich. From the holiday home, enjoy days out on the Norfolk Broads, where you can walk, cycle and hire day cruisers, pausing at friendly pubs set beside the scenic waterways as you go. Head out to the coast, approximately 17 miles away, to swim in the sea, picnic on the sand and look out for grey seals bobbing in the waves. Venture into the city to potter in its many colourful shopping areas, dine out and visit its famous cathedral and castle. Book tickets to the cinema or the theatre, with its major West End shows.
Enter this inviting holiday haven to find accommodation with a warm welcome and exquisite interior design. Discover ample space for everyone to spread out in the sun-soaked living areas with honey-coloured wooden floors, exposed beams and brickwork. From the hall, make your way into the kitchen, with its country cream units and wooden work surfaces, to unpack any fresh Norfolk produce you have bought. This generous space encompasses all you need to ensure smooth self-catering during your stay. Make fresh coffee in the machine and carry it through to the capacious lounge/diner. Choose between two comfortable seating areas in here, where you can gaze out over the garden and open countryside. Open the French doors on sunny days or light the double-sided wood burner in the striking, red-brick chimney breast during the colder months. Watch the Smart TV together or help yourselves to games from the cupboard. Set these up at the table in the dining area, where you can also congregate for your holiday meals. As each fabulous day away ends, amble down the hallway to the bedrooms. These include a zip-and-link super-king-size (which can be made into a twin on request at time of booking), two doubles and a king-size bedroom, which boasts an en-suite bathroom with a bath with shower over. There is also a refreshing family shower room along the hallway as well as access to the annexe accommodation, which is perfect for anyone seeking a little privacy. This encompasses a king-size bed in a studio-style layout with an en-suite shower room and a kitchenette.
Savour the serenity and look out for wildlife in the magnificent, 0.9-acre garden. Cook on the BBQ and dine on the raised terrace under the huge, open Norfolk skies. Follow the steps down to the enclosed lawn, which has wildflower meadow views and is the perfect place for children and pets to play. Walk along the path through the meadow with your dog to unwind in the small seating area. The property is accessed via a long private driveway. There is ample parking available.
