Nestled in Norfolk's peaceful countryside in the village of Reepham, this renovated Victorian farm cottage is as quintessentially British as it gets. Home to chic restaurants, hearty inns, cosy pubs and plenty of independent shops, this is a very desirable area – and we absolutely adore this beautiful cottage smack-dab in the centre of it all. But don't let the traditional facade fool you. Inside, the lofty ceilings, wooden beams, and a log burner remain, while everything else has been entirely redesigned for effortless modern living. Start the day off with a coffee by the glistening pool or on the sun-soaked terrace before embarking on days of exploration. The home is close to Marriott’s Way, a cyclist's dream. For those who prefer four wheels over two, head to the North Norfolk coast or the heart of Norwich – both are less than a half-hour drive away. But you might just want to stay at home, wrapped up by the crackling fire or settling into the sunny courtyard, complete with a jacuzzi. This sumptuous and stylish gem is the perfect remote retreat. Just close your eyes, and relax.
