A calming white bedroom offers a pristine place to relax and unwind at the end of the day, while the thoughtfully designed bathroom is perfect for pampering sessions. 

Move Like Jagger

Safe

This medieval townhouse is the perfect blend of old and new. From the outside, the listed building is charming and traditional, but step inside and you'll find a quirky, modern space. The living room is a true sanctuary, with ambient lighting, velvet sofas and plenty of cushions so you can get comfortable in style. 

In contrast, the kitchen is sunny and bright, ideal for putting a spring in your step each morning. You'll love whipping up a quick breakfast here before heading out for the day, or spending an evening cooking a family favourite to share at the dining table. 

When it's time to head out and about, Norwich Cathedral is only a minute's walk away, and if you head in the other direction you'll arrive at The Lanes and Norwich Market. And, if you need to refuel, there is a range of bars and restaurants to pick from just a matter of steps away from your front door. With such a central location in the heart of the city, you're truly spoilt for choice. 

Cobblestone Stories

Nestled in the cosmopolitan heart of Norwich, referred to by some as the "Notting Hill" of the area, this bright apartment boasts plenty of charm. Set over two floors and filled with interesting touches, this is a city pad with personality. 

We love this home’s quirky vibe, owed in no small part to its bold use of colour. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the lounge area, with its eye-catching Chesterfield sofa and ottoman, both promising a cosy snug. The living area is split-level with the kitchen raised up above the sitting room, a stage for cooks to perform their culinary theatrics. Luxury in the bedrooms is a little more understated, a soft palette ushering you into a gentle night's sleep under the skylights. 

Open your front door and you're in the heart of an area with a lively mix of restaurants, cafes and bars, plus numerous green spaces dotted about. You get the magic of the city centre, located just a fifteen-minute walk away, without too much of its hustle and bustle, and with all of the comforts at your disposal, there’s everything you’ll need here for a truly relaxing stay.

A delightful hodgepodge of 18th-century character and contemporary style, this Grade II-listed townhouse is an absolute gem. Built in the 1750s, the red-brick home has kept much of its Georgian charm with huge sash windows and high ceilings, while bright pops of colour, a sleek kitchen and glittering gold accents move the interiors firmly into the modern age. You'll feel right at home here, whether you're watching Netflix on the sumptuous sofa or reading a book in the window seat. The open-plan layout is great for socialising, super stylish, and only adds to the sense of space – and the swanky kitchen is an absolute dream to cook in. During the summer months, soak up the sunshine on the small south-facing patio, where you can plop down on the wicker chairs with a cup of tea or an evening glass of wine.

Location-wise, you're in an excellent position to explore Norwich's cobbled lanes. Renowned pubs, delicious restaurants, cosy cafes and local shops are just a short walk away. For a day trip, head to the seaside – you can catch a train from Norwich Station (fifteen minutes on foot) to Great Yarmouth or Lowestoft and be at the beach in under an hour.

Debutante

Fondly referred to as the City of Stories, Norwich doesn’t like to do things by the book. And if the buildings here could talk, you’d certainly hear a tale or two. You’ll find almost every type of architectural style – from the modernist Norman-Foster designed Sainsburys Centre, to the Art Deco city hall, the medieval castle and Brutalist angles over at the University of East Anglia – but this charming home in a period property keeps things simple. Set in the hip Golden Triangle area, less than a fifteen-minute walk into the city centre, the space has been designed by someone with a keen eye. Antique and modern furniture sit together seamlessly in the welcoming living room – we love the oversized driftwood mirror hanging above the tiled, original fireplace – and the vintage Cinzano adds a touch of whimsy next to the stoic, 19th-century-style portrait. Both bedrooms are a calming space, thanks to minimalist styling and supremely comfortable beds. It’s a home where you’ll create plenty of your own stories on an adventure in this historic city.

The Story In Your Eyes

You’ll find this stylish cottage in Norwich’s popular ‘Golden Triangle.’ We love the host’s bold use of colour, with a cobalt blue sofa, aqua throws and vibrant modern art. There’s a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes right on your doorstep and a fifteen-minute stroll takes you into the city centre with its independent boutiques, retro arcades and the majestic cathedral. Spend your days strolling Norwich’s cobbled streets, or head to the coast in just thirty-five minutes for sandy beaches galore. In the evenings, rustle up some supper in the fully equipped kitchen, or explore the Golden Triangle’s impressive range of eateries. 

Paint Me A Rainbow

Private Dryer

Desk

This stylish home is located within easy walking distance of Norwich city centre, where you'll find an array of shops, bars, restaurants, and museums. A city rich in Medieval history, we'd recommend a visit to Norwich's famous 11th-century market. Or have a stroll around Norwich Lanes and its independent boutiques. Other attractions include the smallest pub in the UK and Norwich Cathedral, while a little further afield, Whitlingham Lake is worth a look, especially if you like water activities such as kayaking and canoeing.

Back at this home, pour a glass of wine and stroll through the grey-painted French doors into the pretty courtyard garden with its climbing plants meandering up the walls. Or relax inside with one of the books from the living or dining room shelves. Upstairs, we love the main bedroom with its plush mustard velvet sofa – the perfect spot for a cheeky G&T. This home is a tonic indeed.



The Book of Love

This studio apartment may be small, but it more than makes up for the lack of space with an excellent location. In the heart of The Golden Triangle (also known as 'the Notting Hill of Norwich'), this flat is nestled among local pubs, cosy cafes, delicious restaurants and leafy parks. Plus, it's just a fifteen-minute walk to the city centre or you can catch a bus from the stop right outside the flat.

Pocket-sized yet cosy, we think this home is a great option for solo travellers, couples or those in town on business. The layout makes the most of the square footage – the bed is tucked away behind a small wall and the fully-kitted kitchen has a stylish bar-top counter with stools instead of the usual dining table. A squishy sofa and quirky wall art make for a real homely feeling– all in all, we think it's a comfortable place to rest your head and kick off your shoes after a busy day exploring Norwich.

Flutter

DVD Player

Gather up friends and family for a magical trip to this house on the outskirts of Norwich. It's a spacious home, with plenty of room for everyone to find their own spot to kick back and relax – whether that's in the cosy living room or the country-style kitchen. Grab a book, pick a movie, or simply open some wine and catch up with your loved-ones in perfect peace. 

The outdoor space is just as impressive as the interior – perhaps even more so. Step into the garden and grill up some tasty treats on the barbeque, before settling down to dine on the patio. Afterwards, you might like to enjoy a nightcap in the wooden cabin beside the pond, or take a dip in the fabulous hot tub. 

You could easily spend days enjoying everything this home has to offer, but with Norwich just fifteen minutes away by car, there's plenty to see and do. Shoppers will be delighted by the ancient market and the independent boutiques on the Norwich Lanes, while history buffs can visit the castle and cathedral. And, if you fancy a round of golf, there are several courses just a few minutes drive away from your front door.

Nice to haves

When you think of Norwich, the first things that typically spring to mind are the magnificent cathedral, Norman castle and medieval lanes lined with shops, markets and pubs. There's no denying that this is a city brimming with history, and this apartment is right in the thick of it, mere steps from Norwich Castle. An endless array of restaurants, bars and boutiques are quite literally on your doorstep, while the cathedral is walkable in eight minutes. Location-wise, it's pretty much perfect, but that's not the only reason why we love this flat.

Inside, the space is bright and super stylish, with a sleek kitchen and an open-plan living area where you can kick back and relax after a busy day. The design includes a lot of natural elements – rattan baskets, wooden floors and neutral hues – and together, they create a laid-back and soothing space that's a welcome retreat following an afternoon exploring the bustling streets. Rest your feet on the squishy sofa, admiring the incredible city view from the window. Then, pop open a bottle of bubbly and toast your holiday as you tuck into a homecooked meal. When it's time to hit the hay, the sumptuous bed will be calling your name, so you can wake up refreshed and excited for tomorrow's adventure.

Welcome Hamper

This lovely colour-filled home makes for the perfect base for a holiday on the North Norfolk Coast. It’s a detached Georgian farmhouse that dates back to the 1800s, which has been lovingly renovated into a comfortable and modern home. 

You’ll find everything you need here, from garden games for fun in the private walled garden to a hot tub and sauna. Wood burners keep you cosy, and when the sun shines there’s a barbecue in the garden for sunny afternoons of outdoor fun. 

The farmhouse is in a quiet countryside setting, so you can really relax and unwind. Days out might include a trip to the seaside at Cromer, which is a twenty-minute drive, or a walk to Bryant’s Heath and back – the path passes the church in the village and takes thirty-eight minutes one-way. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails straight from the front door, so you can really work up an appetite before returning for dinner in the stylish dining room. 

However you plan to spend your time here, you’ll be glad to have chosen such a spacious and attractive home.

Norfolk Niche

Changing Table

Balcony

This charming cottage feels like a step back in time. It sits in the former stable block of an elegant Georgian Estate, dating back to the early-seventeenth century. Now a working farm, it's surrounded by four hundred acres of gloriously green pastures and ancient parkland – inhabited by herds of red deer, muntjac and an array of birdlife – which you're encouraged to explore. Here, you're just shy of a twenty-minute drive from the picturesque cathedral city of Norwich and the enchanting Norfolk Broads.

The exquisitely renovated interior is cosy and welcoming. Hardwood floors, exposed brickwork, and beam-clad ceilings offer a characterful canvas primed for relaxation. We especially love the sitting room with its plush velvet sofas and wood-burning fireplace, not to mention the delightful country-house kitchen, where a spacious dining table offers a lovely space for homecooked feasts with your clan. 

Framed by a grade-two listed stone wall and dense woodland, a private south-facing garden beckons you to feel completely immersed in nature. After a restful slumber in Egyptian cotton linens, step outside and enjoy your morning brew to the sound of birdsong and gently rustling leaves. Between adventures, spend your days sunbathing on the lawn, reading in the conservatory and, come sunset, sipping cocktails on the furnished patio.

Fun and tranquillity go hand in hand at this beautifully converted barn in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Located in the village of Rockland-St-Mary, there’s ample nature to explore right on your front door, as well as the shimmering coast just a half-hour away by car.

Bursting with charm and plenty of character, the home’s living area boasts original beams, a vaulted ceiling and exposed brick walls in a space that’s rustic and modern all at once. Whether you’re making yourself comfortable on the sofas with a board game or gathering around the farmhouse-style table for a celebratory meal, you’ll love spending time in this sociable, open-plan space. 

The garden, meanwhile, beckons sunny breakfasts around its table and barbecue meals as the sun starts to set, and the hot tub invites you to relax and unwind under the stars – a glass of bubbly in hand. 

With underfloor heating throughout as well as two comfortable bedrooms that promise a peaceful night’s sleep, you’ve got everything you need for an idyllic country getaway. 

When it comes to sightseeing in the local area, you’ve got plenty from which to choose.  The Broads and the River Yare offer plenty of walking paths to explore (a twelve-minute walk away), while Great Yarmouth and its sandy beach are thirty-five minutes away by car. The medieval city of Norwich is also easily accessible by car in eighteen minutes or by the local bus service that runs just outside your home. 

Heartlock

Swimming Pool

Watch the herons dive for their breakfast as you sip your morning coffee in this gorgeous waterside home. On the lush green banks of a small private lake in the Norfolk Broads, this home offers a rural escape while still being a stone’s throw from the cultural city of Norwich (a five minute drive if we’re being pedantic). Surrounded by untouched woodlands, this home is a great place to get back in touch with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around you. And if you’re not an outdoorsy type, the indoor heated pool is sure to tempt you even if the lake doesn’t.

A restorative family-home with stylish interiors in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Located just a seven-minute walk from the charming riverbank village of Horning, you'll have easy access to all of the local inns, restaurants, small shops and tea rooms. Back inside, it's a modern, beautifully decorated house with all of the mod-cons needed for larger groups to enjoy a comfortable stay. The colourful, light-filled living room benefits from bi-folding patio doors that extend out to a crowd-pleasing garden that boasts a spa-style hot tub, bar area and outdoor seating, so you can spend lazy evenings dipping in-and-out of the jacuzzi, sipping drinks and swapping stories. On chillier nights, chum up and challenge your friends and family to a round of pool or foosball in the games room. Or break open a bottle of wine in the sleek, chef's kitchen and plate up the catch of the day – there's plenty of fishing opportunities nearby, so be sure to bring your rods. In fact, the best way to discover this achingly quaint holiday destination is by hopping on one of the daily boat trips that take you all the way down the river and are readily available from in the village.

Serenity awaits at this lovingly restored 19th-century cottage we found tucked away in the beautiful grounds of Ketteringham Hall. Once the working home of the estate carpenter, this gorgeous property boasts plenty of authentic design details – think wooden beams and exposed brickwork – not to mention a generous selection of 21st-century amenities that’ll make your stay here one to remember. While away the evening with a board game or two by the cosy woodburner, rustle up a traditional Sunday roast in the fully equipped kitchen, or gaze out at the surrounding countryside from the upstairs living area before turning on the TV to catch up on your favourite shows. 

Of course, it’s not just the inside space that caught our eye here. Set in acres of open parkland, this home is the perfect setting for a relaxing rural retreat, boasting its own tree-lined garden and secluded patio, ideal for dining alfresco on mouth-watering meals straight from the barbecue. Top up your tan on the lawn or go for a relaxing stroll around the nearby lake – however you want to spend your time, this beautiful property has got you covered.

The Carpenter's Workshop

This cosy barn sits on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, where it offers the ideal setting for a relaxing group getaway. Inside, you’ll find plenty of socialising space across the kitchen and living room. There is also a mezzanine snug with a handy desk for remote workers, plus two of the bedrooms can be arranged as doubles or singles to accommodate flexible sleeping arrangements. Outside, there is a peaceful garden with a barbecue and plenty to explore. From here, it’s just a short drive to the village of Acle while the North Norfolk Coast is just 30 miles away. 


Beloved Barn

There's a lot to love about this converted barn in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. And its peaceful setting, surrounded by woodlands, water meadows and gardens are just the beginning. How about a tennis court? And, of course, what would a home in the Broads be without water access? This place has it all. On the River Bure, adventurous types can bring a canoe or paddle board, and even paddle along to the nearby riverside pub. You'll have your own fishing spot if that's how you prefer to spend your afternoons, or just bring your binoculars and look out for otters, kingfishers and more. Indoors, it's a bright and modern space, with a sociable living area and stylish kitchen – complete with a huge island. Patio doors open to a private terrace, and we love the vaulted ceilings and stripped-back original beams. There's a bedroom on the ground floor, with direct access outside, and the family bathroom is on that level too, while the master and third bedroom are upstairs (the third having a unique, low level window overlooking the dining room). With fifteen acres of land to explore, there are great walks to be had from your doorstep, and here you'll be about twenty minutes by car from Norwich in one direction, and the stunning Norfolk coast in the other.

Framing the original entrance to a private countryside estate just a stone's throw from the Norfolk Broads, this charming gatehouse marries characterful rural features with modern comforts. For a restorative escape, this beautifully renovated home is an idyllic place to make memories amidst a 300-acre historic parkland. 

Wake up to chirping birds from your plush bed before preparing a leisurely breakfast in your country kitchen of farm-fresh eggs and crusty rye bread – we think the patio dining table is a serene spot to enjoy your hard work, accompanied by a freshly brewed coffee.  

Spend a day exploring the grounds or spot the local birdlife on a water-trail boat tour on The Broads. Not all the best attractions are saved for the summer months – head to Horsey Beach in the winter to see the grey seals during the birthing season. Regardless of the time of year, this piece of sandy beach is a pleasure all year round – you might still catch views of seals who’ve stuck around for some sun. If you're seeking a culinary experience, there are some charming local pubs in the area. As evening rolls around, pocket a few balls on the pool table, and enjoy a round of table tennis or air hockey, before sinking into the garden hot tub for a soak session under the stars.

Gatehouse Gardens

With a hot tub and pizza oven in the garden and a cosy wood-burning stove for wintery nights, there's much to like about this elegant Norfolk Broads countryside home. Set in the sleepy village of Hevingham, and with field upon field surrounding you – there's little in the way of bustle here. However, neighbouring Buxton has a much-loved fish and chips shop, and there are traditional pubs just a few minutes drive away. Ready to explore? The Norfolk Broads National Park, Norwich and the mighty Norfolk Coast are all half an hour's drive.

Prettier in Pink

Stair Gates

With its thatched roof and shuttered windows, you couldn't ask for a cuter cottage than this Grade-II listed address sitting in the middle of a country estate in rural Norfolk.

Although it dates back to the 19th century, the interior is a little more contemporary than you might expect, save for the wooden beams and winding staircase. White walls and framed pictures lend the feel of an art gallery, while the cosy kitchen with a Belfast sink retains a rustic air. And what could be a better way of ending the day than with a long and languorous soak in the freestanding bathtub?

When the weather forecast makes for kind reading, the home has a private patio complete with a hot tub, barbecue and plenty of furniture to help you make the most of it. Alternatively, it doesn't take too long to reach the Norfolk coastline – Sea Palling Beach is twenty minutes' drive away, for instance. The city of Norwich is only half an hour away in the car, too.

Dating back as far as the 1470s when Sir James Hobart (a confidante of Henry VII) built a family estate, This home is one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever seen and truly perfect for family gatherings, breaks away with friends, weddings, and more. Step into history oozing with the finest luxury afforded to the home's guests, including ample space as, on top of the main hall, there’s also the Gatehouse, the Cottage, and the Garden Rooms, as well a separate barn for hosting events, and of course the grounds. The history of this home has been preserved immaculately, while at the same time, modern comforts are around every corner. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The facilities available at the hall are second to none, with no need or whim uncatered for, including perfectly equipped kitchens, games room, library, a wealth of entertainment, cosy open fires and woodburners, lawns and meadows, and even a moat, and should you wish to prize yourself away from this phenomenal home and head on out to explore, the bustling seaside town of Great Yarmouth is just a twenty-seven-minute drive away, while the Norwich city centre can be reached in twenty-two minutes by car, and is perfect for those shopping needs. We highly recommend trying out the cosy pubs around the area for a good pint and perfect company.

The Hobart Spring Estate

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

If you’re looking for a quiet couples retreat, this could be just the place for you. Surrounded by gorgeous green countryside, this first-floor home washes a sense of calm over you from the moment you step foot through the door. With chic furnishings and pops of colour peppered throughout, this is a home that you’ll be eager to return to after a day out exploring the nearby North Norfolk Coast or even the Broads. 
 
When you wake in the mornings you can enjoy the most glorious countryside views from the comfort of your bed – you may even be fortunate enough to see some of the local deer dancing across the fields. All you’ll need is someone to bring you a morning cuppa or if you’re really lucky, a spot of breakfast in bed. As you slowly wake, you can plan a day of adventure. For hiking and cycling enthusiasts, Marriott’s Way is just a short distance away.
 
As evening beckons, head home, grab a bottle of wine and head out onto your terrace. Maybe you’ll choose to unwind with a good book or enjoy a quiet conversation with your nightcap. As the sun sets and the sky goes through an array of colours, sit back, relax and let the clean countryside air fall still around you. What better way to end the day, than with perfect peace and quiet as nature wraps itself around you.

Private Parking

You'll find this imposing home set within a 300-acre historic parkland at the centre of a North Norfolk private estate. The former home of the head gardener, this Georgian building boasts its own walled garden and numerous character features – not least its beautiful arched windows. A simple, elegant cottage that's been modernised without losing its charm, it's now perfect for a special break in the countryside.

Along with a games room with all sorts of fun activities for all the family, there's a large lawn and an outdoor dining terrace, plus a little modern luxury in the form of a hot tub. Elsewhere, a comfortable living room, cosy library and sociable eat-in kitchen provide plenty of living space for a family or a small group of friends, and pretty bedrooms and bathrooms offer a tranquil retreat. Spend your time walking in the wider parkland, head to the nearby Broads or drive to the coast in less than half an hour.  

Estate Cottage

There are too many good things about The Hobart Spring to list, but suffice to say that it’s every bit as good as it looks. Most of the buildings date to the 1470s, when Sir James Hobart (later attorney general to the king) built his family home. Our favourite room (not an easy decision) is the kitchen, which looks beautifully traditional, but alongside the Aga, has an electric oven, gas hob, espresso machine and more. You can also pick herbs from the raised beds in the back. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The Hobart Spring

Tennis Court

This home nestled in the picturesque countryside of North Tuddenham, Norfolk has a history. The 16th-century rectory, once home to poet William Cowper, was replaced in 1852 by Rev Barry, brother of the Parliament architect. You’ll find traditional features here, and steep stairs leading to certain parts of the home, so keep that in mind. There’s a beautiful garden with a west-facing terrace for summer barbecues, a childproofed pond, and an outdoor tennis court. Guests can also explore the on-site wood, which boasts scenic pathways leading to picnic spots. Seeking activities? Your host can help arrange clay pigeon shooting, game shooting, and fishing.

The Country Garden

Perched on the edge of Blickling Hall Estate and fringing the chocolate-box village of Oulton, the setting for this adult-only hideaway is dreamy. All the cottagecore essentials are ticked off with original beams, a wood-burning stove, and a pretty, south-facing garden to call your own. Although it’s worth noting the home’s low beams and restricted head height might not suit the vertically blessed. With no amenities within walking distance, you’ll need a car here. Head to Holt for a dose of sea air (a twenty-minute drive). Or, closer to home, nearby Aylsham for a taste of market town life.

Driftwood Garden

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

This elegant hall situated in Norwich awaits you, with verdant private grounds that are perfect for spending afternoons out on the grass under the sun as a family. What makes this home unforgettable is the amazing access to the gorgeous surrounding lake, fitted with a boat berth and kayak for all of your boating needs – we recommend sitting on the deck as you dip your feet in the water while you sip on a cup of coffee or glass of wine. From the lake, you'll find that you're encompassed by plenty of greenery in this incredibly peaceful and rural spot.

Evenings can be spent playing on the pool table as you challenge your loved ones to some games. Watch the sunset in the evenings from the alcove sofa in the dining room with a book as you sink into the comfy cushions – you may spot the local birds flying to their nests as the amber glow closes in. 

The city centre of Norwich is only a twenty–two–minute drive away and is filled to the brim with eateries, shops to browse, and charming pubs to while the hours away as a family. Bracon Ash is a short walk away with a wonderful playground for the children as you tuck into a light bite under the sun – or a tasty homemade picnic.

Vintage Hibiscus

This baby blue timber lodge is just as cute on the inside as it is on the outside. As well as having all the essentials for a romantic getaway, there are house plants, colourful pieces of artwork and a turquoise accent wall to give the place a bit of character without overdoing it — one of the hosts is an interior designer, can't you tell? Out through the glass door, there's a large garden with a cosy seating area at the far end and plenty of potted plants dotted about. You'll find that there's a real sense of peace here. The local village of Banningham is small — albeit with a well-recommended gastropub — and there are plenty of outdoor excursions to fill your days with nearby. The birthplace of Anne Boleyn, Blickling Estate, takes ten minutes to reach in the car, while Cromer Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.

Cosy and charming, this chocolate box cottage dates back to 1714 and is absolutely brimming with traditional character. Original fireplaces and bread ovens, exposed brick walls and wooden beams – no wonder it's Grade II-listed. And, surprisingly, it's super roomy, with multiple living spaces, a high-spec kitchen and a small conservatory that's the perfect spot to sip a cup of tea in the sunshine. After rustling up dinner in the country kitchen (which is has everything you'll need to cook), sprawl out on the squishy leather sofas for a movie night – there's Prime, Netflix and Disney+, so you'll have plenty of options. On summer days, take your relaxing out into the enclosed garden, nursing a glass of wine or firing up the barbecue as the kids (and dogs) let loose in the fresh air.

Nestled in Salhouse in the idyllic Norfolk Broads, this area calls for long walks through the beautiful countryside and boat rides down the River Bure. There are two fantastic village pubs and a quaint tea room within walking distance, plus many more along the water in the Broads. It's a twenty-five-minute drive to Caister-on-Sea if you fancy a beach day, and fifteen to Norwich when you crave a bit more pace. All in all, this is a lovely spot for the whole family to unwind and recharge.

The Warmth of Spring

Out in the Norfolk countryside, this historic home consists of an old rectory and former coach house converted into a cosy yet grand place to stay. The original rectory dates back to the 16th century and has been transformed into a place of lavish lounges set around fireplaces, a sunny dine-in kitchen and a dining room big enough for the whole group to come together. In the coach house, you’ll find an additional full kitchen and open-plan living area with a ping-pong table. The 12.5 acres of grounds house an all-weather tennis court, vast lawns and dining on the patio. Your host can arrange countryside activities like clay pigeon shooting and fishing excursions. 

Whispers at Teatime

This converted mill is a dreamy place to while away a few days. Nestled in the rolling Norfolk countryside, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in this lovely corner of England. 

There are 200 years of history steeped in this wonderful home, and you'll find period details everywhere, from the brickwork to the beamed ceilings. The unique layout, with its gallery study overlooking the main living space, just adds to the charm. Catch up on some work at the desk, or select a novel from the collection and curl up beside the roaring log fire to get toasty. And, on warm days, you can head out to the garden for a game of table tennis, or simply sip a glass of wine on the terrace as you gaze out at the water below. 

From here, walkers and cyclists can hit the trails to explore – or, hire a boat and glide through the landscapes. History buffs will be intrigued by the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, just a fifteen-minute walk away from the home. And, if you fancy a day at the seaside, you can drive over to Cromer in around thirty-five minutes to hit the beach. 

The Norfolk Mill

Air Conditioning

If you were to picture a cute home in the Norfolk countryside, you'd imagine something like this. The whole home is in pristine condition – every inch has been carefully tidied, polished and radiates with an immaculate aesthetic. 

Even from the outside, the home exudes perfection. If you peek through a row of colourful flowers and fresh plant life, you'll discover a charming home with a majestic centrepiece – the gorgeous conservatory. 

Painted in lime green, lined with smooth tiles and supported by exposed brick walls, it's a room that oozes with style. It perfectly blends traditional design with modern comforts – find rustic furniture sitting next to new, comfy seats. 

Whatever season you visit, it's a dreamy spot to settle for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can curl up with a book on the colder nights and snuggle into the cosy seats. On the warmer days, open out the doors and enjoy a glass of something cold on the wooden garden bench. Each sip tastes that bit crisper when you're surrounded by fresh, country air. 

Wander inside from the conservatory and discover a quaint living room with contemporary touches. An exposed brick fireplace adds a cosy ambiance, enhanced by the low-vaulted wooden beams stretching across the ceiling.
