This lovely cottage sits in the pretty village of East Barsham and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Head into the town of Fakenham (3 miles) to buy local produce at the traditional weekly market, which has been a regular fixture since the 13th century. The Barsham Arms which was recently featured on the Hairy Bikers is within easy walking distance (please note The Barsham Arms is temporarily closed but will hopefully be reopen for the summer), as is the Barsham Brewery, their Street Food Fridays with live music is very popular. Alternatively, make your way to Wells-next-the-Sea (8 miles) for the day, where you can stroll along the pretty quay, get some great photos beside the multicoloured beach huts, or grab a bite to eat in one of the pubs. Or head to Morston Quay (10.5 miles) and take a boat trip to see the seals basking at Blakeney Point. Foodies will adore sampling the fresh crab in Cromer (23.5 miles) or the mussels in Brancaster (17.5 miles).
Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming open-plan kitchen/diner/living room. The stylish kitchen area has an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, filter coffee machine and washing machine, so you have everything you need to let your culinary skills shine. Host a sociable dinner in the dining area, and if it’s a pleasant evening, open up the door to the garden. After dinner, retire to the lovely living room. Light up the wood burner, slip onto a sofa and spend a happy evening relaxing in front of the Smart TV, which has Freeview. When it’s time for bed you’ll find two lovely bedrooms to choose from – a double with French doors that lead out to the garden, and a twin. A chic bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower and WC completes the ground-floor layout. Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find two more bedrooms (one double, one twin) and another bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower and WC.
Outside there’s a lovely, lawned garden that’s shared with the property’s owners. You also have full private use of the patio area, BBQ and garden furniture – so al fresco dining is a breeze. There is an additional patio area at the bottom of the shared garden that boasts field views. Off-road parking is available for two cars.
