About this property
Tucked away in beautiful rural South Norfolk, this bespoke shepherd’s cabin is a stone’s throw from Banham Zoo, providing the perfect family escape to the countryside. This Countryside Park is a haven for anyone keen to reconnect with the great outdoors, set in the charming village of Banham in Breckland, a beautiful area of Norfolk home to sandy heathland brimming with wildlife. Located within 50 acres of parkland is the magnificent neighbouring Banham Zoo, a must-visit, which houses an extensive collection of birds and animals. Explore the ancient markets, Georgian and Edwardian architecture and picturesque Norfolk scenery of the market town of Diss, 8 miles away. The local area offers a playground for walking and cycling opportunities; the Thetford Forest, 16 miles away, provides a myriad of marked walks and cycle trails to enjoy.
Set amidst four other beautiful shepherd’s cabins, this idyllic rural retreat seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, making the most of your peaceful surrounding scenery. A large set of French doors welcomes you into the studio-style open-plan living/kitchen/dining/sleeping space, which features all your creature comforts. The delightful, curved ceiling creates a cocooning, cosy ambience, with the soothing neutral colour palette setting the scene for pure relaxation. The plush sofa invites tired travellers to sit back and unwind at the end of a busy day’s adventure. Rustle up a hearty breakfast or perfect picnic in the quaint kitchenette, or enjoy a glass of something sparkling seated around the contemporary country cottage-style dining set. On a fine evening, throw open the French doors to enjoy the sights and sounds of your stunning rural surroundings. Tucked away to one side of the shepherd’s cabin, you’ll find a sumptuous king-size bed with two single beds above that each promise a restful night’s sleep. Sleek and stylish, a contemporary wet room completes this homely hideaway.
Soak up some serenity by dining alfresco with your morning coffee or a sundowner on the decked terrace, a wonderfully peaceful spot from which you can enjoy the tranquillity of the great outdoors. There is designated parking behind the shepherd’s cabin.
