This ever-so-sweet bungalow amidst Norfolk’s rolling fields offers cosy accommodation for a couple or solo traveller. It’s in a quiet spot 2 miles from the nearest pub and 5 from the vibrant market town of Fakenham, where you’ll find an abundance of shops, cafés and eateries. Outdoors enthusiasts will love the cottage’s proximity to the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (11.5 miles) which contains miles of trails across coastal marshes and cliffs.
You’ll enter this sweet brick home by crossing your little garden and ascending two steps up to the front door. Inside, a homely living area awaits, complete with a sofa, a Smart TV and a dining table where you can serve up candlelit dinners for your partner, should you so wish. The decor is pleasant and welcoming, with tasteful artwork and artifacts dotted around. Your enclosed courtyard garden, filled with plants and furnished with a table and chairs, is wonderful for sipping morning coffees in good weather. You’ll also have access to the owner’s front garden and, by arrangement, a secure 1.7-acre field where your dog can run around freely.
When it’s time to explore your surroundings, the Sandringham Royal Estate (17.5 miles) is fantastic for absorbing some British regal history before wandering round its extensive garden and parkland. Your nearest beach is at the charming seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, known for its pretty beach huts, sweeping expanse of sand and fish and chip shops – all the ingredients for a lovely day by the sea! From here, we recommend the scenic 5.5-mile coastal walk along to Burnham Overy Staithe (16 miles) winding through sand dunes and wooded sections.
