About this property
Set in a serene spot close to Acle, this peaceful cottage is a perfect option for families and friends seeking to enjoy the beauty of the Norfolk Broads. Sleeping eight guests, the three-bedroom hideaway sits on the banks of the River Bure, 0.5 miles outside the small market town. Bring your own boat so you can explore from your private mooring or hire day cruisers, just 1 mile away. Plan forays along scenic footpaths and cycle routes, pausing for refreshment at waterside pubs. The traditional seaside town of Great Yarmouth is 9 miles away. Quieter Winterton, where you may see seals in the colder months, is 10 miles away. Keen walkers might like to attempt a section of the Norfolk Coast Path. Arrange a day out in the vibrant, historic city of Norwich, 12.5 miles away, with its shopping areas, eateries, castle and cathedral.
Pause to enjoy the enviable setting of this red-brick, riverside retreat before entering via the kitchen. The superb, country-style space features solid wood cabinets and wooden and tiled work surfaces. There is ample space here for you to conjure up Norfolk feasts for your friends and relatives with the local produce you have sourced. Continue on to discover a wonderful lounge/diner, with a pretty, farmhouse-style tiled floor and beamed ceiling. An ornamental fireplace adds a touch of elegance, and there are bookshelves brimming with holiday reads. Take a seat on the comfortable sofas as you relax in front of the Smart TV together or gaze out through the south-facing windows over the garden and countryside. Set the lovely dining table for your celebratory meals. The large family bathroom, which features a bath and walk-in shower, is also downstairs. As the sun goes down over the Norfolk Broads, climb the stairs to your lovely bedrooms, all of which capture outstanding views. One of these, which has a double bed and a set of bunks, is ideal for a family. There is also another double bedroom and a bunk bedroom.
Indulge in the opportunities for outside living at this special hideaway as often as possible. Bask in the Norfolk sunshine as you dine on the patio or watch the wildlife on the water. Take the children down to look for frogs in the pond, supervising them at all times both here and beside the river. Accessed via a rural lane, this tranquil cottage benefits from a private mooring and off-road parking for three cars.
