1 Bed Cottage in Bardwell

About this property

Rest and relax at this attractive two-storey property, ideal for a couple or solo traveller seeking a peaceful rural retreat close to local amenities and the attractions of the Norfolk/Suffolk border. The property is located in Bardwell, a quiet, small village perfectly placed 10 miles from the market towns of Bury St Edmunds, with its medieval architecture, Abbey Gardens, and boutique shopping, and Thetford, for visiting the Dad’s Army Museum, Thetford Priory, and the Ancient House Museum. Keen walkers and cyclists should head to Brandon Country Park (14.5 miles) or Thetford Forest (10.5 miles) to enjoy miles of scenic trails. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy exploring Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (5 miles), which features lowland heath, grassland and woodland. Alternatively, for a day of nostalgia, step back in time on the rides and get up close to the steam engines at Bressingham Steam Museum and Garden (11.5 miles).

This is a welcoming haven with plenty of character, featuring exposed wooden beams that blend effortlessly with elegant furnishings and decor for an unforgettable stay. Step into an inviting, spacious open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area, where skylights provide plenty of natural light, making it an ideal spot to unwind. The living area has delightful plush seating to sink into after a day exploring the local Norfolk and Suffolk attractions, and a Smart TV so you can spend your evenings snuggled up catching up on your favourite box set. The sitting area leads around to a kitchen space, boasting a sleek, contemporary design and all the appliances you need to whip up a lazy brunch or a romantic dinner to enjoy at the little wooden bistro table. There are plenty of thoughtful touches, including lovely art that reflects the local rural surroundings. To the left and slightly behind the sitting area, you’ll find a chic ground-floor shower room with WC. When it is time to drift off to sleep, head up the oak staircase from the open-plan lounge to a restful king-size bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and ample storage.

Wander outside to appreciate the lovely setting of the small, enclosed courtyard with sofa seating, perfect for morning coffee or a cool evening drink. For your convenience, there is private parking for two cars.
