About this property
With an abundance of attractions within reach to suit all ages and tastes there is no shortage of places to go when staying in this pretty Victorian home. For those who enjoy energetic pursuits, the well known Peddars Way can be accessed from the village, where a trail of 46 miles is perfect for walkers and cyclists. Nature lovers will find day trips to the Norfolk Broads and rspb reserves particularly memorable while superb family days out can be found all along the North Norfolk coastline offering traditional seaside fun. Steeped in history the famous St Mary's church at Houghton on the Hill is definitely worth a visit. Anyone with a competitive nature may wish to visit the local go kart track or, for a more sedate pace and retail therapy, head into Swaffham or historic City of Norwich. Guests entering this beautiful detached house will initially find the porch, ideal for coats and shoes or wiping down muddy paws before stepping into the entrance hall. From here guests will be greeted by two separate lounges ideal for larger parties who wish to find some time for themselves. Both lounges have comfortable sofas and TV s to help relax and recharge after spending a day exploring the local area. One of the lounges also features an open fire enabling guests to create a cosy atmosphere and the other has one side of the dual facing wood burner. The kitchen/diner offers guests the chance to cook up a feast with an Aga style gas oven and hob, fridge, freezer and microwave. There is a handy utility cupboard in the kitchen/diner which has a dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area has a table and chairs to seat all and the other side of the dual facing wood burner providing a perfect backdrop to celebrate any occasion. There is a lovely cosy snug, ideal for children and adults alike to spend any remaining downtime with a selection of board games. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the shower room with separate shower and WC. There are three bedrooms located on the first floor all with views over the garden, the first of which is a spacious super king size with feature fireplace, the second is a double and the third, a single.
