  • Get away from it all and relax in this wonderfully styled waterside cottage, with charming character mixed with contemporary touches
  • Enjoy lazy days on the Norfolk Broads with stunning scenic backdrops and famous ‘big skies’. Numerous family attractions to visit throughout the year with nearby Wroxham and the Norfolk Broads, Bewilderwood for the family to enjoy and a short drive to the Norfolk beaches
  • Ideal for family gathering offering spacious accommodation, tucked away overlooking a private Broad
Property code: OC-72652

With views over Hudson’s Bay, a small private broad, is part of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve, a tranquil setting which may be hard to leave, but for those who do, a wide range of attractions for all ages and tastes can be found in this scenic area of Norfolk. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes and wildlife, including, otters, fish, ducks, herons and kingfishers, the Norfolk Broads offer a myriad of waterways to explore from nearby Wroxham. Family days out could also include BeWilderwood, Pleasurewood Hills theme park, Thrigby Wildlife Centre and Wroxham Barns, to name but a few. The coastline lies just a short drive away and is dotted with interesting towns and villages to explore including traditional seaside fares and sandy beaches, the perfect location to walk or cycle through picturesque landscapes with reed beds and windmills

Upon arriving at the cottage along a tree-lined private road guests will initially enter the useful rear porch, with utility area where the washing machine and tumble dryer are located. There is also ample space for coats and shoes as well as wiping down muddy paws before stepping through to the kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The beautiful dining room creates the perfect backdrop to any meal whether it’s a bite to eat or a celebration. The chunky wooden table, art deco furnishings and double doors opening out onto the garden, help to make this room the heart of the property. There is a choice of two lounges in which to relax after a day exploring the local area, one with a wood burner for that cosy or romantic atmosphere and both have Smart TVs to catch up on any must-see programmes. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor including, a spacious super-king-size, a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom suitable for both adults and children with views over the garden and water. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a shower room with shower and WC, and a separate WC. Ascending the stairs to the first floor guests will find three further bedrooms, all stylishly furnished and with their own vanity basin. The first is a super-king-size with scenic views out over the private broad, the second is a double bedroom and finally, a twin bedroom. Completing this floor is a bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

The entertaining space is not just confined to inside, especially with such lovey views over the private broad and jetty at the end of the garden. A patio area with both seating and garden furniture offers al fresco dining opportunities as well as a superb spot to enjoy a drink and chat with friends. The wooden jetty is gated, although care should be taken with younger children, and provides a great platform to watch the abundance of wildlife or perhaps enjoy a spot of angling, all fish to carefully be put back to swim another day. There is off-road parking available for six cars.

If you are looking for somewhere out of the way then this house is definitely one to consider. Really quiet and secluded but only a 10 minute drive to the middle of Wroxham or Horning and all the facilities. The house is really well equipped, especially the kitchen which has everything you could possibly need. Beds were really comfortable and haRead moreving the options for downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms meant that we could bring my elderly dad and he was able to be part of the holiday. The dining room is massive and easily seats 10 and outdoors there is a real suntrap area with plenty of seating and BBQ. We were not lucky with the weather and it was quite cool and breezy but the back courtyard still provided a sheltered spot to sit outdoors. The jetty over the lake is a great place to sit and watch the wildlife, or just admire the sunset, and really makes the most of the setting of the house. Overall we loved staying here and will definitely return. Hide

This place is amazing, a quiet location yet very near Wroxham. The garden tops it all, a jetty over looking the lake, perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. The kitchen has plenty of plates and cutlery, you will never run out! The heating warms the house very quickly and we made use of the fire in the cosy smaller living room.

The location is always going to keep people returning to this property. It was peaceful and having access to private piece of water is special. The house was big enough for us as a family group of 12 although further bath/shower rooms would be an advantage. The beds were very comfortable.

The house is located down a long winding lane and overlooks the lake/broads. Lovely peaceful location and in a good location for visiting various places. House is well equipped and spacious. Comfortable for the 11 of us that stayed. The only let down for us was the cleanliness of the house when we arrived.
