This characterful Victorian house, set over three levels, is ideal for friends and families looking for a relaxing holiday - a perfect base to explore the surrounding Norfolk countryside. The property has a downstairs shower room and is dog-friendly. Cyclists and walkers will love having access to the Peddars Way from the village, a trail of 46 miles to explore at your own pace.

Enter this pretty, detached house with a traditional, cottage-style feel, plenty of contemporary comforts and lots of social spaces to ensure a memorable stay. Two separate lounges offer comfortable sofas and TVs so you can choose where to relax and recharge; one boasts an open fire, while the other has a dual-facing wood burner. The other side of the wood burner faces into the dining area of the kitchen/diner, which provides a cosy ambience for celebratory meals. The kitchen/diner has all you need to cook up a feast. Children can hide in the snug, and a shower room completes downstairs. On the first floor are three bedrooms - one super-king-size, one double and one single. There is also a stylish bathroom. A steeper staircase arrives on the second floor which has low doorways to the two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. Spill out into the lovely, fully enclosed garden with a selection of garden furniture and BBQ for dining alfresco.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Thetford Forest (10 miles) is a must-visit, with hiking and cycling trails that suit all abilities. A great day out for all ages is the Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, which has a museum and a rare breeds farm. There are plenty of delightful market towns to discover including Swaffham (4 miles) or head further afield to the former Hanseatic port of Kings Lynn (20 miles).
