An idyllic countryside escape, this home is perfectly set up for a group of friends or family looking to explore the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk Heritage Coast. This Georgian property includes a beautiful sunroom with a pool table, a comfortable sitting room, and four magical bedrooms. Gather your ensemble for a games night in the dazzling conservatory with elegant grey furnishings, vintage record prints and large picture windows, or spend cosier, more intimate evenings curled up in front of the crackling fireplace with a good book in the lounge. Overlooking Waveney Valley, you'll be surrounded by farms, fields and meadows that make for wonderful countryside walks. You're also just a short fifteen-minute amble from the charming village of Somerleyton with its grand hall and fantastic pubs. Here, you'll also find tranquil footpaths and scenic cycling routes that crisscross the stunning countryside. Five minutes up the road, St. Olaves is the place to go to hire a boat for a relaxing day on the river. Meanwhile, the beaches of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are around a twenty-minute drive. With its serene setting and well-connected location, you're in for a truly relaxing holiday.

Home truths

    This home has quite a lot of internal stairs, which may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

    We highly recommend a car for exploring this area and the home has plenty of private parking on the driveway

    The water is on a cylinder, so it may run out after several consecutive baths – however, it does not take long to heat up
