Epitomising bucolic charm, this early 1800s manor, is a luxuriously quintessential English retreat. Delightfully peaceful, it’s nestled in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and within driving distance of the Wayford Marine, The Broad wetlands and canals. Just a short drive further and you'll find the fine sands of Horsey and the seals that occupy the beaches. The interior exudes Georgian chic with exposed sweeping staircases, a log-burning fireplace, antique furnishings, crystal chandeliers and modern touches for optimal cosiness. We love the elegant living space, where you can unwind in front of the fire with a glass of natural wine and the lovely country-house kitchen, complete with an AGA, which is designed with home chefs in mind. Overlooking the breathtaking scenery and your wild garden surroundings, unwind in the hot tub under the crystal-clear night sky.
