Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
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.
