Property code: OC-1765

This elegant 19th-century detached home sits on the outskirts of the delightful village of Gressenhall, providing the perfect rural escape for large families or groups of friends. Take the opportunity to visit Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse (1 mile), where you can browse the Museum of Norfolk Life. The kids are sure to love the adventure playground and visiting the farm animals. Alternatively, head into the town of Dereham (3.5 miles) to enjoy a round of golf, or make your way into the cathedral city of Norwich (19 miles) to stroll up lovely Medieval cobbled street of Elm Hill or visit the Dragon Hall, an outstanding Grade-I listed Medieval trading hall dating from 1430.

Step inside this impressive historic home and you’ll find yourself in a spacious and stylish kitchen/dining/family room – the social heart of the home. Slip onto a sofa and make yourself home in front of the TV or turn up the radio with its Bluetooth speaker. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the light and bright kitchen area, where you’ll find everything you need to bring out your inner chef – an electric double oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There’s also a handy pantry with a safe and a utility room with a washing machine and dryer. Get everyone together for dinner at the beautiful table in front of the bifold French doors – the garden views are lovely. After dinner, make yourself comfortable in front of the TV by the wood burner in the Snug/TV room. A double bedroom with en-suite shower room and wood burner completes the ground-floor layout. Upstairs on the first-floor you’ll find a further three bedrooms – a double with an en-suite shower room and two singles (one with farmland views) – as well as a stylish family bathroom with a roll-top bath and shower cubicle. Up on the second floor you’ll find the final bedroom, a lovely double with en-suite bathroom with bath.

Outside you’ll find a fabulous garden with a paved terrace. Fine dine alfresco at the table on the terrace. After dinner, take a few steps down to lawn and go for a stroll in the orchard area. The house also enjoys access to the surrounding woodland with its trails, streams and ponds. There is also a tennis court available at owners' house, which is just a few minutes away.

This is most definitely the best property we have rented!! We stayed at Dentford Heights for a week over the new year as a family of 7 and had a wonderful time. Not only does the property have amazing views, it is equipped with anything you could need and the local pub and shop are within a short walking distance. The lovely owners, Jane and HowarRead mored were very helpful and friendly but not imposing at all. Two of our party played tennis on the court available nearby and we all enjoyed the lovely walks around the farmland. We would highly recommend this property to any large family looking for a quiet getaway. We will definitely return, hopefully in the near future! Hide

Excellent property - must be good as we returned! Extremely clean and everything in good working order. Lovely views from the property, quiet and secluded from road, but quickly onto sensible roads.

Very nice property, especially if you have a larger group. The five bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is nicely appointed with ample dinner wear and cooking implements. The property has very spacious grounds with trails, trees, and lawns. Wildlife makes regular appearances and the cat that seems to own the property is a friendly adRead moredition. The real owners, Howard and Jane, are great host, providing the perfect balance of friendly accessibility and privacy This very large, nicely appointed, and clean property is well kept and is a hidden jem for a country vacation.
