Built in 1755, this Grade II listed cottage exudes character, while wood beams, soft furnishings and the red brick hearth are bound to have you feeling all warm and cosy from the get-go. Keen chefs will enjoy cooking up hearty meals in the country-style kitchen with tiled floors, an AGA cooker and a charming wooden dining table and chairs. While others may prefer to run themselves an indulgent bubble bath in the roll-top tub or sneak off for a cat nap in the sloped-ceiling bedroom. With a prime village position and a tranquil setting, the home offers endless views of the delightful St James the Great Church, dating back to the fourteenth century. Start sunny mornings with breakfast in the enclosed courtyard garden, complete with seating and a barbecue, followed by a wander through the picturesque village. Cycle along the easily accessible Nar Valley Way and admire the beautiful countryside landscape. The Sandringham Estate, Fakenham Racecourse and Houghton Hall are just a short drive away. Further afield, a day of birdwatching at Titchwell's RSPB reserve is just under forty minutes by car. Finish your day back at home, curled up with a book by the crackling wood-burning stove.
