Serenity awaits at this lovingly restored 19th-century cottage we found tucked away in the beautiful grounds of Ketteringham Hall. Once the working home of the estate carpenter, this gorgeous property boasts plenty of authentic design details – think wooden beams and exposed brickwork – not to mention a generous selection of 21st-century amenities that’ll make your stay here one to remember. While away the evening with a board game or two by the cosy woodburner, rustle up a traditional Sunday roast in the fully equipped kitchen, or gaze out at the surrounding countryside from the upstairs living area before turning on the TV to catch up on your favourite shows. Of course, it’s not just the inside space that caught our eye here. Set in acres of open parkland, this home is the perfect setting for a relaxing rural retreat, boasting its own tree-lined garden and secluded patio, ideal for dining alfresco on mouth-watering meals straight from the barbecue. Top up your tan on the lawn or go for a relaxing stroll around the nearby lake – however you want to spend your time, this beautiful property has got you covered.
