Old and new blend seamlessly at this characterful cottage which overlooks the pretty duck pond in this peaceful chocolate-box village. The property is over 200-years old, so you'll be able to enjoy lots of original features. A large garden provides plenty of space for young ones and the family pet to run around and there’s a barbecue for grilling some local, fresh produce for an alfresco dinner on warm evenings. When you tire of home cooking, take a short stroll to the award-winning village pub, aptly named The Duck, under a one-minute walk away. Or spend the day on one of the unspoilt sandy beaches in this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just six miles away. It’s a paradise for walkers, cyclists and twitchers too – RSPB Titchwell is just over fifteen minutes in the car. Alternatively, souvenir hunters will find charming independent shops and boutiques in the elegant Georgian village of Burnham Market, four miles away.

About Norfolk
With a coastline defined as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Norfolk Broads boasting National Park status, there’s plenty to keep nature lovers occupied in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth enjoys the best of both worlds where a long beach provides days of paddling in the shallows and wandering the promenade, ice-cream in hand.
