The Old Rectory Cottage is situated in a peaceful and tranquil location, seventeen miles from the city of Norwich (30 minutes by car). The property stands in 3 acres of land and is surrounded by both rural farmland and the beautiful landscapes of the Norfolk countryside. Within the grounds, there are several garden areas, an abundance of various trees, a herb garden and two large ponds. Deer and birds of prey regularly visit the garden. Guests also have access to their own private courtyard which is perfect for entertaining, relaxation and Summer BBQs. There is also the opportunity to play badminton within the grounds during the Spring/Summer months. The property downstairs consists of a kitchen-diner with a small adjacent lounge. Upstairs is all of the sleeping accommodation. 2 separate king-sized double bed rooms, that share a separate shower and bathroom; and then a further king-sized double bed room with a contiguous further double bed room which is ideal for a young child. These two latter bedrooms therefore suit a family with young children, and have their own access to a large bathroom and a separate shower room. There is also a kitchenette. There is no downstairs lavatory. The stairs are not ideal for the very elderly or frail. The absolute maximum capacity is 8 persons.
Surrounded by farmland, fields and villages of Norfolk, there are walks and cycle rides aplenty through countryside that is 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 into Norwich which is 30 minutes away by car, or Cambridge which is 58 minutes on the train. Snetterton is 4 miles away, and home to Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit, and the opportunity to engage in some motor-powered fun before retreating back to the relaxation of The Old Rectory Cottage. The beaches are about 60 minutes away, the broads are 35-40 minutes.
