Just on the outskirts of the pretty village of Filby, a short walk from the broad and a seven-minute drive from the sea, this home is in the perfect spot for exploring the best of Norfolk. Tucked away in a quiet country lane, it's a charming home with tonnes of character, ideal for a family or a small group of friends. There's nothing dull or neutral about the interior, decorated with bold colours, quirky ornaments, vintage treasures and modern art. The heart of the home is the family room and kitchen, with its stone floor and huge kitchen island. There's a dining table as well as a breakfast bar and squashy leather sofa, so it's a big, sociable space with skylights and double doors out to the garden. A snug just around the corner is the perfect place to cuddle up in front of a film and there's a log burner for added cosiness in the winter. But what we really love about this place is the outdoor space, which had us trying to work out how we could copy it at home. The gravel patio features an outdoor sofa for drinks in the sun while the lawn is flat and safe... for children to play on. And at the end of the garden, a beautiful oak-framed shelter means you can barbecue and eat outdoors no matter the weather. Complete with bunting, a little bar and a mini-fridge, it's more than a little dreamy. From here it's just a short stroll to the nearby pub and village shop, with Norfolk's beautiful beaches at Caister-on-Sea less than a ten-minute drive and Great Yarmouth just a little further.

About The Broads
Straddling both Norfolk and Suffolk, The Broads now house over a quarter of the UK’s rarest animals and plants, with water voles, cuckoos and European eel all found among its habitats. Yet the winding rivers and broads haven’t always been here – they were created in the Middle Ages when peat workings were flooded. Spend your time in The Broads paddling along the navigable waterways, spotting the traditional windmills that...
