The Old Rectory

Set within a lovely, rural village location, The Old Rectory offers guests a charming countryside getaway for 10. As you venture up the tree lined driveway, this beautifully grand home appears in all its glory, with original sash cord windows and cream stone exterior. The gorgeous garden wraps around the house and is full of mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds. In the Winter, delicate snowdrops create wonderful white carpets and come Summer, the garden is pebble-dashed in colourful wildflowers. Huddle together around the fire pit toasting marshmallows or good group sing-along! It really is the perfect countryside oasis, offering an ideal base to explore both Norfolk and Suffolk. Its location on the edge of Thurlton gives it a true rural feel but with the benefit of a shop and pub within 0.2 miles. There are more pubs and shops at Reedham (4 miles), a village on the Norfolk Broads, where you can also find an animal park, local brewery, and one of the last operational railway swing bridges in the country. If you fancy a day at the seaside, the coast is just 10 miles away with the resorts of Great Yarmouth (11 miles) and Lowestoft (12 miles) within easy reach. Alternatively, head to the fine city of Norwich (14 miles) to explore the castle, two cathedrals, medieval lanes and independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

The Old Rectory offers guests a very generous home with plenty of living space to be together. The formal sitting room is beautiful and bright and has French doors leading out the garden. A further snug sitting room is equipped with roaring wood burner, television, and comfy sofa, creating the ideal space to unwind in. The property also boasts a large, fully fitted kitchen with plenty of space to prepare some delicious meals and adjacent, is the dining room, once used as the Parish meeting room, with seating for all to dine together.
