5 Bed Cottage in Whissonsett

About this property

Engulfed by the verdant appeal of rural Norfolk, this fantastic farmhouse offers family-friendly stays and extended group get-togethers amongst ever-comfortable surroundings. A variety of groups are catered for when staying in this exceptional cottage, with a total of 10 guests welcome and three zip-and-link beds creating versatility in the sleeping arrangements. The property is also pet-friendly with extensive gardens boasting endless room for children and dogs to play outdoors when the sun shines. Regarding days out, so many Norfolk attractions lie waiting close by including the royal Sandringham Estate (17.5 miles) and beaches on the Norfolk Coast National Landscape (15 miles).

The brick-and-flint exterior of this traditional Norfolk cottage lends the place instant curb appeal, a lovely sight to admire whilst enjoying drinks or dinner in the capacious, enclosed garden. Once indoors, the traditional features continue with the use of an original Aga oven in the winter months. Despite its age, the accommodation has been thoroughly modernised to create an elevated base for your getaways; including a Smart TV in the lounge and two bedrooms, and all of the appliances your kitchen may need. Five sumptuous bedrooms are laid out alongside three bathrooms across the ground and first floors, with the smallest, snuggest room offering a single bed.

The popular Norfolk towns of Fakenham (5 miles) and Dereham (9 miles) are each just a drive away, both surrounded by pretty countryside and enjoyable walking trails peppered with plenty of inviting country pubs. For seaside appeals, head towards Hunstanton (24.5 miles) to find a wide, sandy beach and coastal amusements including a Sealife centre and a kid’s fairground. You may find the neighbouring town of Heacham (23 miles) to be a little bit quieter, home to Norfolk’s famed lavender farm that’s well worth a sunny day stop off.
