Set within 1 acre of private grounds in Saxlingham village, this former schoolhouse is a peaceful escape for couples who enjoy scenic walks and cycle rides. Boasting original features such as high beamed ceilings, wooden floors, an open fire and even period pieces of kitchenware, the property has a lovely cosy feel to it. The extensive garden offers a tranquil space to relax and admire the rich array of resident wildlife. When night falls, climb the wooden stairs to a partially galleried bedroom, a romantic space with a double bed situated under the eaves (with reduced head-height).
Off the beaten track, Saxlingham village offers the essence of a typical North Norfolk village. Hedgerows scented with rose and honeysuckle peppered with sloes and blackberries hem a peaceful rural landscape full of wildlife. Those with an interest in history or architecture may like to pop into the village church which has some fine examples of stained-glass windows dating as far back as the 13th century.
Just 3 miles to the north of the property, the coastal village of Blakeney awaits with its renowned nature reserve. Here you will find wide open spaces and uninterrupted views of the coastline, as well as a colony of seals and migratory birds. Alternatively, travel 4 miles to the east of the property and spend an afternoon wandering around the market town of Holt with its shops and numerous eateries.
