About this property
Gorgeous rural property surrounded by unspoilt woodland waiting to be explored.
"Beautiful well appointed cottage. Probably the best we ever had. Great location for us as we were able to explore the area from Sandringham to RHS Hyde Hall and the cost. Loved Bury St. Edmund’s and Ely. Lots of great country pubs nearby". - Carol Farrar
