The Old Rectory Cottage is set in a peaceful and tranquil location, seventeen miles from Norwich (30 minutes by car). The property stands on 3 acres of land and is surrounded by rural farmland and the beautiful landscapes of the Norfolk countryside. Within the grounds, are several garden areas, an abundance of trees, and two large ponds. Deer and birds of prey regularly visit the garden. The private courtyard is perfect for entertaining, relaxation, and Summer BBQs. There is also the opportunity to play badminton within the grounds during the Spring/Summer months. There is no downstairs lavatory. The stairs are not ideal for the very elderly or frail. The absolute maximum capacity is 6 persons. The property has four bedrooms, Bedroom one has a king-size bed, which sleeps 2. Bedroom two has a super king-sized bed that can be used as two single beds. Bedroom three has a king-size bed, and bedroom four shares the same access door bedroom three has a double bed. At the property are one sitting room, a kitchen diner, 2 shower rooms, one bathroom, spacious corridor. The windows are of good size which benefits from lots of natural light.
Surrounded by farmland, fields, and villages of Norfolk, there are walks and cycle rides aplenty through the countryside that are evocative of a bygone age. Smock-clad, straw-chewing farm hands wielding pitchforks still tend the patchwork fields. The pace of life is slow, serene, and contemplative - city stresses will simply ebb away. Countryside activities abound: Equestrian enthusiasts will love Eden Meadows Riding Centre, only 7 minutes away in Rocklands for a cross-country hack or lessons, and anglers will be in paradise - Rocklands Mere Fishery 2 miles away. There is also the opportunity for a day trip to Norwich is 30 minutes away by car Cambridge is 58 minutes by train. Snetterton is 4 miles away, and it is home to Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit, where you can engage in some motor-powered fun before retreating to the relaxation of The Old Rectory Cottage. The beaches are about 60 minutes away, the broads are 35-40 minutes.
