This superb two-storey property in the peaceful village of Bardwell on the Norfolk/Suffolk border is ideal for couples or small families seeking a restful rural retreat. There are plenty of local amenities and attractions to enjoy at Walsham le Willows, only 2.5 miles away. Explore this picturesque and historic village, offering a local shop, a pub, and a weekly Saturday farmers’ market, and pay a visit to Langham Hall Walled Garden. Further afield, several attractions make for a perfect family day out – Bressingham Steam Museum and Barnham Zoo are both less than 15 miles away. For walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts, there is a variety of landscapes to choose from, including the miles of trails at Brandon Country Park and Thetford Forest, both within 15 miles. For something a little more tranquil, head to Abbey Gardens (9.5 miles) or Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (5 miles).
Enter this attractive cottage via steps or a ramp and move into the hallway where coat hooks and space await for outdoor gear. The decor and furnishings reflect the local surroundings with calming pops of colour creating the setting for a relaxed stay. Follow the hallway into a contemporary kitchen featuring a skylight that floods the area with light, plus all the appliances you need to cook up some family favourites during your stay. To the right, you’ll find the delightful ground-floor king-size bedroom, which features a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room. When you arrive back from your day of adventure, head through to the welcoming, light and airy open-plan dining/living area, where you can unwind on plenty of comfortable seating. Large bi-fold doors frame the view of the garden and can be opened to let in a cool summer breeze. In the evenings, after savouring an unhurried dinner at the wooden dining table, gather in the sitting area to enjoy a movie night courtesy of the Smart TV. Stairs from behind the lounge area lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find a second king-size bedroom, this time with an en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms offer ample storage.
Step out onto the terrace to enjoy the views and relax on the sun loungers or sofa while sipping a cool drink. On fine evenings, fire up the BBQ for a spot of al fresco dining. There is private parking for two cars.
