Located on the River Yare, Reedham has a picturesque quay, a choice of inns and a fish and chip shop to satisfy all appetites. Reedham is famously home to one of the last operating railway swing bridges in the country, and Norfolk’s only operating chain ferry that carries cars across the Yare, opening up access to Suffolk to reach the market town of Beccles (10 miles) where you can shop for souvenirs or swim in a fabulous outdoor Lido. A little further afield are the seaside towns or Lowestoft and Southwold, both within 30 miles. Spend the day exploring the city of Norwich (17 miles) or visit the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth (12 miles). Catch a train to beautiful Berney Arms then return along the Wherryman’s Way – a walk of around 5 miles – or visit South Beach, close to the station at Lowestoft (20 miles). For history buffs, a 15-mile drive to the Roman remains at Burgh Castle is well-rewarded. Alternatively, simply stroll to Pettits Animal Adventure Park – just up the road from this property – for family-friendly animal encounters and entertainment.
Walk less than a mile north of the river, passing pretty country residences and farmland, and this handsome mid-terrace home enjoys a peaceful rural setting with fields front and back. A paved driveway means you can park and unpack at your own pace. Step inside through a handy porch area, then you’ll be straight into a welcoming living room with a two-seater sofa, armchair, Smart TV and feature fireplace (decorative only). Beyond, the dining table extends to allow elbow space for all. Close by, the staircase heads to the first floor. Adjacent to the dining area, the kitchen is compact but houses all the essentials for a fuss-free stay, with a window and door onto the rear garden. Once your day is done, the upper floor has a large double bedroom overlooking the front of the property, plus a single bedroom and a family bathroom.
Step into the enclosed rear garden for a breath of fresh country air and you’ll appreciate what makes Norfolk’s big skies so special – there’s little to break up the view other than distant hedges, treelines and the occasional farm building. You can expect some spectacular stargazing after dark!
