This lovely place is ideal for a countryside escape in quiet seclusion. The late 19th-century home is filled with warm wooden beams, fireplaces, and wide windows, enabling you to gaze out to the sweeping landscape. We adore the private woodland here, where you can enjoy all kinds of flora and fauna, from birdsong to blooming wildflowers, streams, and lakes – it’s an incredibly serene idyll. You’ll share the grounds with sheep, cows, and horses, who graze peacefully on the nearby meadows. Make the most of everything in your back garden, including an orchard, and a barbecue on the paved terrace. There’s a shared tennis court too if you want to play a game. You'll be based on the outskirts of Gressenhall, a rural Norfolk village that has quaint village shops and a local pub. For a day excursion, the nearby town of Dereham (a ten-minute drive) has a golf course, swimming pool, and bowling. Norfolk, a cathedral city known for its sublime views, is a 30-minute drive away and the stunning beaches of the North Norfolk coast are just as close.
